NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.    ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead,” “we,” “our” or “us”) should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no material changes to our organization or summary of significant accounting policies as disclosed in that filing. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, we reclassified changes in income taxes prepaid and receivable from Prepaid expenses and other to combine with changes in income taxes payable as Income tax assets and liabilities, net within Operating Activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We believe this presentation assists users of the financial statements to better understand cash flow movements. Prior periods have been revised to reflect this change, resulting in a reclassification of $34 million from Prepaid expenses and other for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that the management of Gilead believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period. Certain amounts and percentages in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes may not sum or recalculate due to rounding.

Level 2 Inputs
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
For our available-for-sale debt securities, we estimate the fair values by reviewing trading activity and pricing as of the measurement date, and by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income-based and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate the fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data and other observable inputs.
Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
Substantially all of our foreign currency derivative contracts have maturities within an 18-month time horizon and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings, Inc. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration the valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, Secured Overnight Financing Rate and swap rates. These inputs, where applicable, are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
11


Senior Unsecured Notes
The total estimated fair values of our senior unsecured notes, determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values, were approximately $22.6 billion and $21.9 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the carrying value was $24.1 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Level 3 Inputs
Contingent Consideration Liability
In connection with our first quarter 2021 acquisition of MYR, we are subject to a potential contingent consideration payment of up to €300 million, subject to customary adjustments, which is revalued each reporting period using probability-weighted scenarios for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of Hepcludex until the related contingency is resolved.

Liability Related to Future Royalties
We recorded a liability related to future royalties as part of our fourth quarter 2020 acquisition of Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”), which is subsequently amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining estimated life. The fair value of the liability related to future royalties was $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the carrying value was $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a partial impairment charge of $2.7 billion related to certain acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets. See Note 7. Intangible Assets for additional information. There were no indicators of impairment to IPR&D assets noted during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

No allowance for credit losses was recognized for investments with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2023 as the unrealized losses were primarily driven by broader change in interest rates with no adverse conditions identified that would prevent the issuer from making scheduled principal and interest payments. We do not currently intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell, such investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

________________________________
(1)     Prepaid and other current assets and Other long-term assets include our equity method investments in Arcus and Galapagos, respectively, for which we elected and applied the fair value option as we believe it best reflects the underlying economics of these investments. Our investment in Galapagos is classified in Other long-term assets due to certain lock-up provisions in our amended subscription agreement with them, which extend to August 2024.
Other Equity Securities
Equity method investments and other equity investments without readily determinable fair values were $333 million and $423 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were excluded from the table above. These amounts were included in Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unrealized Gains and Losses
Net unrealized losses recognized on equity securities were $256 million and $96 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and were included in Other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our operations in foreign countries expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. To manage this risk, we hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposures related to outstanding monetary assets and liabilities as well as forecasted product sales using foreign currency exchange forward contracts. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. The credit risk associated with these contracts is driven by changes in interest and currency exchange rates and, as a result, varies over time. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, we seek to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. We also seek to limit our risk of loss by entering into contracts that permit net settlement at maturity. Therefore, our overall risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is limited to the amount of any unrealized gains on outstanding contracts (i.e., those contracts that have a positive fair value) at the date of default. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.
The derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures for certain monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency are not designated as hedges. The derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures for forecasted product sales are designated as cash flow hedges and have maturities of 18 months or less.
We held foreign currency exchange contracts with outstanding notional amounts of $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2023 and $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2022.
While all our derivative contracts allow us the right to offset assets and liabilities, we have presented amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis. The following table summarizes the classification and fair values of derivative instruments, including the potential effect of offsetting:

There were no discontinuances of cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were included within Net cash provided by operating activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
6.    ACQUISITIONS, COLLABORATIONS AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
We enter into acquisitions, licensing and strategic collaborations and other similar arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products and product candidates. The collaborations and other arrangements may involve two or more parties who are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. These arrangements may include non-refundable upfront payments, expense reimbursements or payments by us for options to acquire certain rights, contingent obligations by us for potential development and regulatory milestone payments and/or sales-based milestone payments, royalty payments, revenue or profit-sharing arrangements, cost-sharing arrangements and equity investments.
16


Acquisitions
Tmunity
In February 2023, we closed an agreement to acquire Tmunity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Tmunity”), a clinical-stage, private biotechnology company focused on next-generation CAR T-therapies and technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired all outstanding shares of Tmunity other than those already owned by Gilead for approximately $300 million in cash consideration. As a result, Tmunity became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and recorded a $244 million charge to Acquired in-process research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The remaining purchase price relates to various other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, consisting primarily of deferred tax assets. Under the agreement, the former shareholders of Tmunity and the University of Pennsylvania are eligible to receive a mix of up to approximately $1.0 billion in potential future payments upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, as well as royalty payments on sales.
Collaborations and Other Arrangements
Arcellx
In January 2023, we closed an agreement to enter into a global strategic collaboration with Arcellx, Inc. (“Arcellx”) to co-develop and co-commercialize Arcellx’s lead late-stage product candidate, CART-ddBCMA, for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and potential future next-generation autologous and non-autologous products. In conjunction with the collaboration agreement, we recorded a $212 million charge to Acquired in-process research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to an upfront payment, as well as a $115 million equity investment, which is subject to lock-up provisions until July 2024, in Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The companies will share development, clinical trial, and commercialization costs for CART-ddBCMA and will jointly commercialize the product and split U.S. profits 50/50. Outside the U.S., we will commercialize the product and Arcellx will receive royalties on sales. Arcellx is eligible to receive performance-based development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $835 million related to CART-ddBCMA, a potential future next-generation autologous product and a potential future non-autologous product, with further commercial milestone payments, profit split payments on co-promote products and royalties on at least a portion of worldwide net sales, depending on whether Arcellx opts-in to co-promote on the future products. If additional future products are developed, Arcellx would be eligible to receive additional milestone payments, profit split payments on co-promote products and royalties on at least a portion of worldwide net sales, depending on whether Arcellx opts-in to co-promote these additional future products as well.
Pionyr
In June 2020, we entered into a transaction with Pionyr Immunotherapeutics (“Pionyr”), a privately held company pursuing novel biology in the field of immuno-oncology, which included entry into two separate agreements, one related to the initial acquisition of a 49.9% equity interest in Pionyr and the other providing us with the exclusive option, subject to certain terms and conditions, to acquire the remaining outstanding capital stock of Pionyr (“Pionyr Merger and Option Agreements”). The exclusive option had an estimated fair value of $70 million based on a probability-weighted option pricing model using unobservable inputs, which are considered Level 3 under the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance. In March 2023, we waived our exclusive option to acquire Pionyr and certain other rights under the Pionyr Merger and Option Agreements and recorded a $70 million charge to Other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We will retain our equity interest in Pionyr as well as the right, under certain conditions, to review new data as it emerges.

(1)     In February 2023, FDA granted approval of Trodelvy for use in adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have received endocrine-based therapy and at least two additional systemic therapies in the metastatic setting. Accordingly, the related IPR&D intangible asset of $6.1 billion was reclassified to finite-lived assets in the first quarter of 2023.
Amortization Expense
Aggregate amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $546 million and $445 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is primarily included in Cost of goods sold on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

No indicators of impairment were noted for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, except as described under “2022 IPR&D Impairment” below.
18


2022 IPR&D Impairment
In connection with our acquisition of Immunomedics in 2020, we allocated a portion of the purchase price to acquired IPR&D intangible assets. Approximately $8.8 billion was assigned to IPR&D intangible assets related to Trodelvy for treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (“HR+/HER2-”) breast cancer. In March 2022, we received data from the Phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study evaluating Trodelvy in patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who have received prior endocrine therapy, cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and two to four lines of chemotherapy (“third-line plus patients”). Based on our evaluation of the study results, and in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter, we updated our estimate of the fair value of our HR+/HER2- IPR&D intangible asset to $6.1 billion as of March 31, 2022. Our estimate of fair value used a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to the present value, which requires the use of Level 3 fair value measurements and inputs, including estimated revenues, costs, and probability of technical and regulatory success. The expected cash flows included cash flows from HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer for third-line plus patients and patients in earlier lines of therapy which are the subject of separate clinical studies. Our revised discounted cash flows were lower primarily due to a delay in launch timing for third-line plus patients which caused a decrease in our market share assumptions based on the expected competitive environment. As of March 2022, there were no changes in our plans or assumptions related to our estimated cash flows for patients in the earlier lines of therapy. We used a discount rate of 6.75% which is based on the estimated weighted-average cost of capital for companies with profiles similar to ours and represents the rate that market participants would use to value the intangible assets. We determined the revised estimated fair value was below the carrying value of the asset and, as a result, we recognized a partial impairment charge of $2.7 billion in In-process research and development impairment on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

10.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various legal actions. Certain significant matters are described below. We recognize accruals for such actions to the extent that we conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. We accrue for the best estimate of a loss within a range; however, if no estimate in the range is better than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount in the range. If we determine that a material loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the possible loss. Unless otherwise noted, the outcome of these matters either is not expected to be material or is not possible to determine such that we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss. We did not have any material accruals for the matters described below on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Litigation Related to Sofosbuvir
In 2012, we acquired Pharmasset, Inc. Through the acquisition, we acquired sofosbuvir, a nucleotide analog that acts to inhibit the replication of HCV. In 2013, we received approval from FDA for sofosbuvir, sold under the brand name Sovaldi. Sofosbuvir is also included in all of our marketed HCV products. We have received a number of litigation claims regarding sofosbuvir. While we have carefully considered these claims both prior to and following the acquisition and believe they are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such claims or range of loss.
We are aware of patents and patent applications owned by third parties that have been or may in the future be alleged by such parties to cover the use of our HCV products. If third parties obtain valid and enforceable patents, and successfully prove infringement of those patents by our HCV products, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of intellectual property claims related to our HCV products. We have spent, and will continue to spend, significant resources defending against these claims.
Litigation with the University of Minnesota
The University of Minnesota (the “University”) has obtained U.S. Patent No. 8,815,830 (the “’830 patent”), which purports to broadly cover nucleosides with antiviral and anticancer activity. In 2016, the University filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, alleging that the commercialization of sofosbuvir-containing products infringes the ’830 patent. We believe the ’830 patent is invalid and will not be infringed by the continued commercialization of sofosbuvir. In 2017, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to California. We have also filed petitions for inter partes review with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) alleging that all asserted claims are invalid for anticipation and obviousness. The PTAB instituted one of these petitions and a merits hearing was held in February 2021. In 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California stayed the litigation until after the PTAB concluded the inter partes review that it had initiated. In May 2021, the PTAB issued a written decision finding the asserted claims of the University’s patent invalid. In July 2021, the University appealed this decision, and in March 2023, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s decision. The litigation in the U.S. District Court was dismissed in April 2023 after the University represented to the Court that it did not intend to pursue further appeals.
Litigation with NuCana plc. (“NuCana”)
NuCana has obtained European Patent No. 2,955,190 (the “EP ’190 patent”) that allegedly covers sofosbuvir. In opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office (“EPO”) held in February 2021, the EPO Opposition Division upheld the validity of the EP ’190 patent in amended form. The EPO subsequently held an appeal hearing in March 2023 and revoked the EP ’190 patent, including the amended patent. We had also initiated proceedings to invalidate the U.K. counterparts of the EP ’190 patent and a related patent, European Patent No. 3,904,365 (the EP ‘365 patent) in the High Court of England & Wales. NuCana had filed counterclaims against us in the High Court of England & Wales alleging patent infringement of the U.K. counterparts and seeking damages and other relief. The U.K. case was heard in early 2023, and the judge issued a judgment in March 2023 invalidating both patents.
In April 2021, NuCana also filed a lawsuit against us in Germany at the Landgericht Düsseldorf alleging patent infringement of the German counterpart of the EP ’190 patent and seeking damages and injunctive relief. In April 2022, we filed an action for grant of a compulsory license before the Federal Patent Court in Germany. In July 2022, the Düsseldorf court determined that NuCana’s German counterpart of the EP ’190 patent is infringed and granted an injunction. In August 2022, Gilead filed a notice of appeal regarding the Düsseldorf court’s decision, and a hearing is scheduled for August 2023. Following the revocation of the EP ’190 patent by the EPO, we expect the injunction in Germany to be lifted.

Litigation Relating to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
In August 2019, we filed petitions requesting inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,044,509, 9,579,333, 9,937,191 and 10,335,423 (collectively, “HHS Patents”) by PTAB. The HHS Patents are assigned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) and purport to claim a process of protecting a primate host from infection by an immunodeficiency retrovirus by administering a combination of FTC and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (“TDF”) or TAF prior to exposure of the host to the immunodeficiency retrovirus, a process commonly known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”). In November 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the sale of Truvada and Descovy for use as PrEP infringes the HHS Patents. In February 2020, PTAB declined to institute our petitions for inter partes review of the HHS Patents. In April 2020, we filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the U.S. federal government in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, alleging violations of three material transfer agreements (“MTAs”) related to the research underlying the HHS Patents and two clinical trial agreements (“CTAs”) by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention related to PrEP research. A trial for the bifurcated portion of the lawsuit in the Court of Federal Claims was held in June 2022, and in November 2022, the Court determined that the government breached the three MTAs. The Court also made findings of fact relating to the CTAs but declined to issue a decision on breach of the CTAs until after trial in the Delaware District Court. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of each of these litigation matters, we believe that the U.S. federal government breached the MTAs and CTA, that Truvada and Descovy do not infringe the HHS Patents and that the HHS Patents are invalid over prior art descriptions of Truvada’s use for PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis as well because physicians and patients were using the claimed methods years before HHS filed the applications for the patents. A trial date for the lawsuit in the Delaware District Court has been set for May 2023. A separate trial at the Court of Federal Claims to determine the damages Gilead is owed based on the government’s breach has yet to be set.
Litigation with Generic Manufacturers
As part of the approval process for some of our products, FDA granted us a New Chemical Entity (“NCE”) exclusivity period during which other manufacturers’ applications for approval of generic versions of our products will not be approved. Generic manufacturers may challenge the patents protecting products that have been granted NCE exclusivity one year prior to the end of the NCE exclusivity period. Generic manufacturers have sought and may continue to seek FDA approval for a similar or identical drug through an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), the application form typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. The sale of generic versions of our products prior to their patent expiration would have a significant negative effect on our revenues and results of operations. To seek approval for a generic version of a product having NCE status, a generic company may submit its ANDA to FDA four years after the branded product’s approval.
In October 2021, we received a letter from Lupin Ltd. (“Lupin”) indicating that it has submitted an ANDA to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture a generic version of Symtuza, a product commercialized by Janssen and for which Gilead shares in revenues. In November 2021, we, along with Janssen Products, L.P. and Janssen (“Janssen”), filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Lupin as co-plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. Trial has been scheduled for October 2023. In September 2022, we received a letter from Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (“Apotex”) stating that they have submitted an ANDA for a generic version of Symtuza. In October 2022, we, along with Janssen, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apotex as co-plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. We separately filed an additional lawsuit against Apotex asserting infringement of two additional patents in the same court. Trial has not yet been scheduled in the lawsuits against Apotex.
Starting in March 2022, we received letters from Lupin, Laurus Labs (“Laurus”) and Cipla Ltd. (“Cipla”), indicating that they have submitted ANDAs to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture generic versions of Biktarvy. Lupin, Laurus, and Cipla have challenged the validity of three of the five patents listed in the Orange Book as associated with Biktarvy. We filed a lawsuit against Lupin, Laurus and Cipla in May 2022 in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, and intend to enforce and defend our intellectual property. Trial has been scheduled for December 2024.
European Patent Claims
In 2015, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of one of our granted European patents covering sofosbuvir that expires in 2028. In 2016, the EPO upheld the validity of certain claims of our sofosbuvir patent. We have appealed this decision, seeking to restore all of the original claims, and several of the original opposing parties have also appealed, requesting full revocation. The appeal hearing was held in November 2022, but a final decision regarding the validity of the claims has not yet been announced.
In 2017, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of our granted European patent relating to sofosbuvir that expires in 2024. The EPO conducted an oral hearing for this opposition in 2018 and upheld the claims. The original opposing parties have appealed, requesting full revocation. The hearing for the appeal has been scheduled for September 2023.

In 2017, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of our granted European patent relating to TAF hemifumarate that expires in 2032. In 2019, the EPO upheld the validity of the claims of our TAF hemifumarate patent. Three parties have appealed this decision. The appeal hearing was held in March 2023 and the EPO affirmed the validity of the TAF hemifumarate patent.
The appeal process for sofosbuvir opposition proceedings may take several years . While we are confident in the strength of our patents, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these oppositions. If we are unsuccessful in defending these oppositions, some or all of our patent claims may be narrowed or revoked and the patent protection for sofosbuvir in the EU could be substantially shortened or eliminated entirely. If our patents are revoked, and no other European patents are granted covering these compounds, our exclusivity may be based entirely on regulatory exclusivity granted by EMA. If we lose patent protection for sofosbuvir, our revenues and results of operations could be negatively impacted for the years including and succeeding the year in which such exclusivity is lost.
Antitrust and Consumer Protection
We, along with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) and Johnson & Johnson, Inc., have been named as defendants in class action lawsuits filed in 2019 and 2020 related to various drugs used to treat HIV, including drugs used in combination antiretroviral therapy. Plaintiffs allege that we (and the other defendants) engaged in various conduct to restrain competition in violation of federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws. The lawsuits, which have been consolidated, are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuits seek to bring claims on behalf of direct purchasers consisting largely of wholesalers and indirect or end-payor purchasers, including health insurers and individual patients. Plaintiffs seek damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief. In the second half of 2021 and first half of 2022, several plaintiffs filed separate lawsuits effectively opting out of the class action cases, asserting claims that are substantively the same as the putative classes. These cases have been coordinated with the class actions. Trial has been set for May 2023.
In January 2022, we, along with BMS and Janssen Products, L.P., were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, by Aetna, Inc. on behalf of itself and its affiliates and subsidiaries that effectively opts the Aetna plaintiffs out of the above class actions. The allegations are substantively the same as those in the class actions. The Aetna plaintiffs seek damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief.
In September 2020, we, along with generic manufacturers Cipla and Cipla USA Inc. (together, “Cipla Defendants”), were named as defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by Jacksonville Police Officers and Fire Fighters Health Insurance Trust (“Jacksonville Trust”) on behalf of end-payor purchasers. Jacksonville Trust claims that the 2014 settlement agreement between us and the Cipla Defendants, which settled a patent dispute relating to patents covering our Emtriva, Truvada and Atripla products and permitted generic entry prior to patent expiry, violates certain federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The Plaintiff seeks damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief.
In February 2021, we, along with BMS and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the First Judicial District Court for the State of New Mexico, County of Santa Fe by the New Mexico Attorney General. The New Mexico Attorney General alleges that we (and the other defendants) restrained competition in violation of New Mexico antitrust and consumer protection laws. The New Mexico Attorney General seeks damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief.
While we believe these cases are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages or could be subject to permanent injunctive relief awarded in favor of plaintiffs.
Product Liability
We have been named as a defendant in one class action lawsuit and various product liability lawsuits related to Viread, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and Stribild. Plaintiffs allege that Viread, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and/or Stribild caused them to experience kidney, bone and/or tooth injuries. The lawsuits, which are pending in state or federal court in California, Delaware, and Missouri, involve more than 25,000 active plaintiffs. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. The first bellwether trial in California state court was scheduled to begin in October 2022, but is currently stayed while the California First District Court of Appeal considers the merits of plaintiffs’ theories of liability. The first bellwether trial in California federal court is scheduled to begin in January 2024. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions. While we believe these cases are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages.
Government Investigation
In 2017, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York requesting documents related to our promotional speaker programs for HIV. We are cooperating with this inquiry.

Qui Tam Litigation
A former sales employee filed a qui tam lawsuit against Gilead in March 2017 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Following the government’s decision not to intervene in the suit, the case was unsealed in December 2020. The lawsuit alleges that certain of Gilead’s HCV sales and marketing activities violated the federal False Claims Act and various state false claims acts. The lawsuit seeks all available relief under these statutes.
Health Choice Advocates, LLC (“Health Choice”) filed a qui tam lawsuit against Gilead in April 2020 in New Jersey state court. Following the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office’s decision not to intervene in the suit, Health Choice served us with their original complaint in August 2020. The lawsuit alleges that Gilead violated the New Jersey False Claims Act through our clinical educator programs for Sovaldi and Harvoni and our HCV and HIV patient access programs. The lawsuit seeks all available relief under the New Jersey False Claims Act. In April 2021, the trial court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice. Health Choice has appealed the trial court’s dismissal.
Health Choice filed another qui tam lawsuit against Gilead in May 2020 making similar allegations in Texas state court. Following the Texas Attorney General’s Office’s decision not to intervene in the suit, Health Choice served us with their original complaint in October 2020. The lawsuit alleges that Gilead violated the Texas Medicare Fraud Prevention Act (“TMFPA”) through our clinical educator programs for Sovaldi and Harvoni and our HCV and HIV patient access programs. The lawsuit seeks all available relief under the TMFPA. This case was stayed in September 2021 pending final judgment in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania lawsuit filed in March 2017, as discussed above. Health Choice filed a motion to lift the stay, and in April 2023, the trial court granted Health Choice’s motion to lift the stay. Gilead has filed a motion to the Texas Court of Appeals requesting reinstatement of the stay until final judgment in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania lawsuit.
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions. While we believe these cases are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes. If any of these plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages.
Securities Litigation
Immunomedics and several of its former officers and directors have been named as defendants in putative class actions filed in 2018 and 2019, which were consolidated in September 2019. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in November 2019 and an amended complaint in July 2021. Plaintiffs allege that Immunomedics and the individual defendants violated the federal securities laws in connection with Immunomedics’ Biologics License Application for Trodelvy, and seek certification of a class of shareholders, damages and other relief. The consolidated lawsuit is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In June 2022, plaintiffs filed their Motion for Class Certification, and Immunomedics submitted its Opposition in July 2022. The parties have agreed to settle this litigation. A motion seeking preliminary approval of the settlement was granted in February 2023. The court has not yet entered a final order approving the settlement.
Other Matters
We are a party to various legal actions that arose in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that these other legal actions will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income (loss) before income taxes$1,300 $(152)
Income tax benefit (expense)$(316)$164 
Effective tax rate24.3 %107.9 %
Our effective income tax rate of 24.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to $244 million of non-deductible Acquired in-process research and development expenses recorded in connection with our acquisition of Tmunity.
Our effective income tax rate of 107.9% for three months ended March 31, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a decrease in state deferred tax liabilities associated with a partial IPR&D impairment charge of $2.7 billion.
Our income tax returns are subject to audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for our 2016 to 2018 tax years. There are differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations, and as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. We periodically evaluate our exposures associated with our tax filing positions.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide material information around events and uncertainties known to management relevant to an assessment of the financial condition and results of operations of Gilead and should therefore be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto and other disclosures included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the related notes thereto and other disclosures (including the disclosures under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q where other material events and uncertainties not otherwise discussed below are disclosed.
Management Overview
Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a biopharmaceutical company that has pursued and achieved breakthroughs in medicine for more than three decades, with the goal of creating a healthier world for all people. We are committed to advancing innovative medicines to prevent and treat life-threatening diseases, including HIV, viral hepatitis and cancer. We operate in more than 35 countries worldwide, with headquarters in Foster City, California.
Key Business Updates
The following highlights are based on press releases recently issued. Readers are encouraged to review all press releases available on our website at www.gilead.com. The content on the referenced website does not constitute a part of and is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Oncology
Cell Therapy
In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of Tmunity, a clinical stage private biotech company, which provides preclinical and clinical programs. This includes an “armored” CAR T technology platform that has the potential to be applied to a variety of CAR Ts to enhance anti-tumor activity, as well as rapid manufacturing processes.
In March 2023, we announced primary overall survival results from the Phase 3 ZUMA-7 study for initial treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (“R/R”) large B-cell lymphoma (“LBCL”), which showed a statistically significant improvement for Yescarta in overall survival versus historical treatment.
Other
In February 2023, we received FDA approval of Trodelvy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (“HR+/HER2-”) breast cancer who have received endocrine-based therapy and at least two additional systemic therapies in the metastatic setting.
Inflammation
In March 2023, we exercised an option to license investigational targeted protein degrader molecule NX‑0479 (“GS-6791”) from Nurix. GS-6791 is a potent, selective, oral IRAK4 degrader with potential applications in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

________________________________
NM - Not Meaningful
Total revenues decreased by 4% to $6.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower sales of Veklury, partially offset by higher product sales in HIV, Cell Therapy and Trodelvy.

Net income attributable to Gilead was $1.0 billion, or $0.80 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $19 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to the following items net of their related tax effect: a $2.7 billion in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2022, which did not repeat in 2023, partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower revenues in 2023.

See Note 2. Revenues of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further disaggregation of revenue by product.
HIV
HIV product sales increased by 13% to $4.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to favorable pricing dynamics, higher demand for Biktarvy and Descovy for pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”) and lower inventory draw-downs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact.
Oncology
Cell Therapy
Cell Therapy product sales increased by 64% to $448 million the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased Yescarta demand for the treatment of R/R LBCL and increased Tecartus demand for R/R mantle cell lymphoma and R/R adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Trodelvy
Trodelvy product sales increased by 52% to $222 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased adoption in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in the U.S. and Europe as well as the launch of the indication for pre-treated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer in the U.S.
Liver Disease
HCV
HCV product sales increased by 12% to $445 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to favorable pricing dynamics and timing of purchases in the U.S.
28


HBV / HDV
HBV and HDV product sales were $230 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2022.    
Veklury
Veklury product sales decreased by 63% to $573 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower demand driven by reduced hospitalization rates in all regions. Sales of Veklury generally reflect COVID-19 related rates and severity of infections and hospitalizations as well as the availability, uptake and effectiveness of vaccinations and alternative treatments for COVID-19. As a result, future sales of Veklury are difficult to predict and may vary significantly from one period to the next.
Other
Other product sales decreased by 16% to $199 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower demand for AmBisome and Letairis.
Foreign Currency Exchange Impact
We generally face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in the Euro. We use foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposures.
Of our total product sales, 30% and 34% were generated outside the U.S. for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Foreign currency exchange, net of hedges, had an unfavorable impact on our total product sales of $106 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, based on a comparison using foreign currency exchange rates from three months ended March 31, 2022.
Costs and Expenses

Product Gross Margin
Product gross margin was 77.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2022.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of personnel costs including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, infrastructure, materials and supplies and other support costs, research and clinical studies performed by contract research organizations and our collaboration partners and other outside services.
We manage our R&D expenses by identifying the R&D activities we expect to be performed during a given period and then prioritizing efforts based on scientific data, probability of successful technical development and regulatory approval, market potential, available human and capital resources and other considerations. We regularly review our R&D activities based on unmet medical need and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities that we believe will best support the long-term growth of our business. We do not track total R&D expenses by product candidate, therapeutic area or development phase.

(in millions)20232022
Personnel, infrastructure and other support costs$817 $682 
Clinical studies and other costs629 496 
Total$1,447 $1,178 
Research and development expenses increased by 23% to $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Personnel, infrastructure and other support costs as well as Clinical studies and other costs both increased due to new study launches and clinical activities primarily related to oncology.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses
Acquired in-process research and development expenses are recorded when incurred and reflect costs of externally-developed IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use, including upfront and milestone payments related to various collaborations and the costs of rights to IPR&D projects.
Acquired in-process research and development expenses were $481 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to a $244 million charge associated with our acquisition of Tmunity in February 2023 and a $212 million upfront payment associated with the collaboration with Arcellx, which we entered into in January 2023. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were minimal. See Note 6. Acquisitions, Collaborations and Other Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
In-Process Research and Development Impairment
In-process research and development impairment was $2.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to a partial impairment charge on our HR+/HER2- IPR&D intangible asset. No IPR&D impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses are recorded when incurred and consist primarily of personnel costs, facilities and overhead costs, outside marketing, advertising and legal expenses, and other general and administrative costs related to sales and marketing, finance, human resources, legal and other administrative activities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 22% to $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased commercial activities, mainly in oncology, and increased corporate spend, including an increase in our allocation of the branded prescription drug fee and corporate grants.
Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense), Net
The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in Interest expense and Other income (expense), net:

Other income (expense), net$(174)$(111)57 %
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by 4% to $230 million, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances.
The changes in Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily reflect higher net unrealized losses from equity securities, partially offset by higher interest income due to rising interest rates.

Effective tax rate24.3 %107.9 %(83.6)%
Our effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a partial IPR&D impairment charge of $2.7 billion recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continually evaluate our liquidity and capital resources, including our access to external capital, so that we can adequately and efficiently finance our operations.
Liquidity
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities were $7.2 billion and $7.6 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $476 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:

Operating activities$1,744 $1,840 
Investing activities$(826)$(1,070)
Financing activities$(1,406)$(1,794)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents$13 $(18)
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities is derived by adjusting our net income for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.8 billion for the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to lower collections as well as higher inventory and operating spend in 2023, partially offset by the effect of the non-recurring payment of a $1.25 billion settlement related to bictegravir litigation in 2022.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $826 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to a decrease in acquisition spend, including acquired IPR&D.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.8 billion for the same period in 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we utilized cash of $969 million for dividend payments and $400 million for common stock repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we utilized cash of $500 million for debt repayments, $945 million for dividend payments and $352 million for common stock repurchases.
Capital Resources and Material Cash Requirements
A summary of our capital resources and material cash requirements is presented in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Notes 6. Acquisitions, Collaborations and Other Arrangements, 9. Debt and Credit Facilities, 10. Commitments and Contingencies and 12.

Critical Accounting Estimates
A summary of our critical accounting estimates is presented in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information about our market risk is presented in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Notes 3. Fair Value Measurements, 4. Available-For-Sale Debt Securities and Equity Securities and 5. Derivative Financial Instruments of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for any material changes to these disclosures.
Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation as of March 31, 2023 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and has concluded that there was no change during such quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the following discussion of material risks, events and uncertainties that make an investment in us speculative or risky in addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A manifestation of any of the following risks and uncertainties could, in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict, materially and adversely affect our business and operations, growth, reputation (including the commercial or scientific reputation of our products), prospects, product pipeline and sales, operating and financial results, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and stock price. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors; our operations could also be affected by factors, events or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations. Therefore, you should not consider the following risks to be a complete statement of all the potential risks or uncertainties that we face.
Product and Commercialization Risks
Certain of our products subject us to additional or heightened risks.
HIV
We receive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales of our products for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, sales of our HIV products accounted for approximately 66% of our total product sales. We may be unable to sustain or increase sales of our HIV products for any number of reasons, including market share gains by competitive products, including generics, or the inability to introduce new HIV medications necessary to remain competitive. In such case, we may need to scale back our operations, including our future drug development and spending on research and development (“R&D”) efforts. For example, many of our HIV products contain tenofovir alafenamide (“TAF”), which belongs to the nucleoside class of antiviral therapeutics. If there are any changes to the treatment or prevention paradigm for HIV that cause nucleoside-based therapeutics to fall out of favor, our HIV product sales would be adversely impacted.
Veklury
We face risks related to our supply and sale of Veklury, which was approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as a treatment for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). While Veklury sales generally reflect COVID-19 related rates and severity of infections and hospitalizations, as well as the availability, uptake and effectiveness of vaccines and alternative treatments for COVID-19, we are unable to accurately predict our revenues or supply needs over the short- and long-term due to the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. If we do not accurately forecast demand or manufacture Veklury at levels to align with actual demand, then we may experience product shortages or build excess inventory that may need to be written off. We also remain subject to significant public attention and scrutiny over the complex decisions made regarding clinical data, supply, allocation, distribution and pricing of Veklury, all of which affects our corporate reputation.
Cell Therapy
Advancing a novel and personalized therapy such as Yescarta or Tecartus, which are chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) T-cell therapies, creates significant challenges, including:
educating and certifying medical personnel regarding the procedures and the potential side effects, such as cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicities, in compliance with the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program required by FDA;
securing sufficient supply of other medications to manage side effects, such as tocilizumab and corticosteroids, which may not be available in sufficient quantities, may not adequately control the side effects and/or may have detrimental impacts on the efficacy of cell therapy;
developing and maintaining a robust and reliable process for engineering a patient’s T cells in our facilities and infusing them back into the patient; and
33


conditioning patients with chemotherapy in advance of administering our therapy, which may increase the risk of adverse side effects.
The use of engineered T cells as a potential cancer treatment is a recent development and may not be broadly accepted by physicians, patients, hospitals, cancer treatment centers, payers and others in the medical community. While FDA has approved some cell therapies, including Yescarta and Tecartus, we must continue to demonstrate to the medical community the potential advantages of cell therapy compared to existing and future therapeutics. For challenges related to the reimbursement of Yescarta and Tecartus, see also “Our existing products are subject to reimbursement pressures from government agencies and other third parties, required rebates and other discounts on our products and other pricing pressures.”
We rely on third-party sites to collect patients’ white blood cells, known as apheresis centers, as well as shippers, couriers, and hospitals for the logistical collection of patients’ white blood cells and ultimate delivery of Yescarta and Tecartus to patients. These vendors may encounter disruptions or difficulties that could result in product loss and regulatory action. Apheresis centers may also choose not to participate in our quality certification process, or we may be unable to complete such certification in a timely manner or at all, which could delay or constrain our manufacturing and commercialization efforts.
We operate an automated CAR T-cell therapy manufacturing facility in Frederick, Maryland. We have not previously manufactured our products in an automated facility on a commercial scale, and as a result, we may require additional time and resources in order to effectively increase manufacturing capacity. We also operate a new retroviral vector manufacturing facility in Oceanside, California, which received FDA approval for commercial production in October 2022. We also have not previously manufactured viral vectors on a commercial scale, and as a result, we may require additional time and resources in order to effectively increase manufacturing capacity. In addition, we may not be able to produce or otherwise obtain an amount of viral vector supply sufficient to satisfy demand for our finished products. If we are unable to meet product demand, we will have difficulty meeting sales forecasts for our finished products.
Our success depends on developing and commercializing new products or expanding the indications for existing products.
If we are unable to launch commercially successful new products or new indications for existing products, our business will be adversely impacted. The launch of commercially successful products is necessary to grow our business, cover our substantial R&D expenses, and offset revenue losses when existing products lose market share due to factors such as competition and loss of patent exclusivity. There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in drug development and the introduction of new products. The product development cycle is characterized by significant investments of resources, long lead times and unpredictable outcomes due to the nature of developing medicines for human use. We expend significant time and resources on our product pipeline without any assurance that we will recoup our investments or that our efforts will be commercially successful. A high rate of failure is inherent in the discovery and development of new products, and failure can occur at any point in the process, including late in the process after substantial investment.
We face challenges in accurately forecasting sales because of the difficulties in predicting demand for our products and fluctuations in purchasing patterns or wholesaler inventories.
We may be unable to accurately predict demand for our products, including the uptake of new products, as demand depends on a number of factors. For example, product demand may be adversely affected if physicians do not see the benefit of our products. Additionally, the non-retail sector in the U.S., which includes government institutions, including state AIDS Drug Assistance Programs, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, correctional facilities and large health maintenance organizations, tends to be less consistent in terms of buying patterns and often causes quarter-over-quarter fluctuations that do not mirror actual patient demand for our products. Federal and state budget pressures, as well as the annual grant cycles for federal and state funds, may cause purchasing patterns to not reflect patient demand for our products. We expect to continue to experience fluctuations in the purchasing patterns of our non-retail customers. In light of the budget crises faced by many European countries, we have observed variations in purchasing patterns induced by cost containment measures in Europe. We believe these measures have caused some government agencies and other purchasers to reduce inventory of our products in the distribution channels, and we may continue to see this trend in the future.
34


We sell and distribute most of our products in the U.S. exclusively through the wholesale channel. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 90% of our product sales in the U.S. were to three wholesalers, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc. and McKesson Corporation. The U.S. wholesalers with whom we have entered into inventory management agreements make estimates to determine end-user demand and may not be accurate in matching their inventory levels to actual end-user demand. As a result, changes in inventory levels held by those wholesalers can cause our operating results to fluctuate unexpectedly if our sales to these wholesalers do not match end-user demand. In addition, inventory is held at retail pharmacies and other non-wholesaler locations with whom we have no inventory management agreements and no control over buying patterns. Adverse changes in economic conditions, increased competition or other factors may cause retail pharmacies to reduce their inventories of our products, which would reduce their orders from wholesalers and, consequently, the wholesalers’ orders from us, even if end-user demand has not changed. In addition, we have observed that strong wholesaler and sub-wholesaler purchases of our products in the fourth quarter typically results in inventory draw-down by wholesalers and sub-wholesalers in the subsequent first quarter. As inventory in the distribution channel fluctuates from quarter to quarter, we may continue to see fluctuations in our earnings and a mismatch between prescription demand for our products and our revenues.
We face significant competition from global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, specialized pharmaceutical firms and generic drug manufacturers.
New branded or generic products entering major markets affects our ability to maintain pricing and market share. Our products compete with other available products based primarily on efficacy, safety, tolerability, acceptance by doctors, ease of patient compliance, ease of use, price, insurance and other reimbursement coverage, distribution and marketing. A number of companies are pursuing the development of products and technologies that may be competitive with our existing products or research programs. These competing companies include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and specialized pharmaceutical firms acting either independently or together with other such companies. Furthermore, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research may seek patent protection or may establish collaborative arrangements for competitive products or programs. We may be adversely impacted if any of these competitors gain market share as a result of new technologies, commercialization strategies or otherwise.
Our existing products are subject to reimbursement pressures from government agencies and other third parties, required rebates and other discounts on our products and other pricing pressures.
Product Reimbursements
Successful commercialization of our products depends, in part, on the availability and amount of third-party payer reimbursement for our products and related treatments and medical services in the markets where we sell our products. As our products mature, pricing pressures from private insurers and government payers often result in a reduction of the net product prices.
Legislative and regulatory actions affecting government prescription drug procurement and reimbursement programs occur relatively frequently. For example, in September 2020, FDA issued a final rule implementing a pathway for the importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada. This rule is subject to ongoing litigation. We may be adversely impacted by any such legislative and regulatory actions, though it is difficult to predict the impact, if any, on the use and reimbursement of our products.
Product Pricing, Discounts and Rebates
In the U.S., the European Union (“EU”) and other significant or potentially significant markets for our products and product candidates, government authorities and third-party payers are increasingly attempting to limit or regulate the price of medical products and services. The volume of drug pricing-related legislation has dramatically increased in recent years, including:
U.S. Congress has enacted laws requiring manufacturer refunds on certain amounts of discarded drug from single-use vials beginning in 2023 and eliminating the existing cap on Medicaid rebate amounts beginning in 2024.
35


U.S. Congress has enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”), which, among other changes, (1) requires the Department of Health and Human Services to “negotiate” Medicare prices for certain drugs (starting with 10 drugs in 2026, adding 15 drugs in 2027 and 2028, and adding 20 drugs in 2029 and subsequent years), (2) imposes an inflation-based rebate on Medicare Part B utilization starting in 2023 and Part D utilization beginning October 1, 2022, and (3) restructures the Medicare Part D benefit to cap out-of-pocket expenses for Part D beneficiaries beginning in 2024 and, effective January 1, 2025, increases Part D plans’ contributions in the catastrophic coverage phase and increases manufacturers’ discount contributions across coverage phases such that manufacturers must pay a 10% discount in the initial coverage phase and a 20% discount in the catastrophic phase on drugs utilized by all Part D beneficiaries, including low income subsidy patients. We continue to evaluate the impact of the Act on our business but expect the Act will increase our payment obligations under the redesigned Part D discount program, limit the prices we can charge, and increase the rebates we must provide government programs for our products, thereby reducing our profitability and negatively impacting our financial results. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has recently issued a number of guidance documents but how certain provisions will be implemented remains unclear. There may be additional guidance, legislation or rulemaking issued that could reflect the government’s evolving views, and select provisions may become subject to legal challenges in the future. Therefore, the full impact of the Act on the profitability of our business and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole remains uncertain at this time.
Many state legislatures are considering, or have already passed into law, legislation that seeks to indirectly or directly regulate pharmaceutical drug pricing, such as requiring manufacturers to publicly report proprietary pricing information, creating review boards for prices, establishing drug payment limits, and encouraging the use of generic drugs. These initiatives and such other legislation may cause added pricing pressures on our products, and the resulting impact on our business is uncertain.
Many countries outside the U.S., including the EU member states, have established complex and lengthy procedures to obtain price approvals and coverage reimbursement and periodically review their pricing and reimbursement decisions. The outcome of these reviews cannot be predicted and could have an adverse effect on the pricing and reimbursement of our medical products in the EU member states. Reductions in the pricing of our medical products in one member state could affect the price in other member states and have a negative impact on our financial results.
A substantial portion of our product sales is subject to significant discounts from list price, including rebates that we may be required to pay state Medicaid agencies and discounts provided to covered entities under Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act (“340B”). Changes to the 340B program or the Medicaid program at the federal or state level could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, the continued growth of the 340B program limits the prices we may charge on an increasing percentage of sales. Changes to the calculation of rebates under the Medicaid program could substantially increase our Medicaid rebate obligations and decrease the prices we charge 340B-covered entities.
In March 2022, we implemented a contract pharmacy integrity initiative for our branded hepatitis C virus (“HCV”) products. This integrity initiative does not involve any products from Asegua Therapeutics LLC. Our integrity initiative requires covered entities that enter into 340B bill to/ship to arrangements with contract pharmacies for our branded HCV products to provide claims level data for units dispensed from such contract pharmacies; covered entities without an in-house pharmacy that choose not to participate in the initiative can designate a single contract pharmacy for shipment. Certain manufacturers that have implemented other contract pharmacy integrity programs have received enforcement letters from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) asserting that those programs violate the 340B statute, have been referred to the HHS Office of Inspector General for assessment of civil monetary penalties, and have been subject to administrative dispute resolution proceedings brought on behalf of covered entities. These manufacturers are currently challenging HHS’ position in ongoing litigation. We believe that our integrity initiative complies with the requirements of the 340B statute. However, additional legal or legislative developments with respect to the 340B program, including potential litigation with HHS, may negatively impact our ability to implement or continue our integrity initiative.
In addition, standard reimbursement structures may not adequately reimburse for innovative therapies. For example, beginning in fiscal year 2021, CMS established a new severity-adjusted diagnosis-related group (“DRG”) 018 for Medicare inpatient reimbursement of CAR T-cell products such as Yescarta and Tecartus. While the new DRG has a significantly higher base payment amount than the prior DRG 016, the payment available may not be sufficient to reimburse some hospitals for their cost of care for patients receiving Yescarta and Tecartus. When reimbursement is not aligned well to account for treatment costs, Medicare beneficiaries may be denied access as this misalignment could impact the willingness of some hospitals to offer the therapy and of doctors to recommend the therapy. Additionally, in the EU, there are barriers to reimbursement in individual countries that could limit the uptake of Yescarta and Tecartus.
Moreover, we estimate the rebates we will be required to pay in connection with sales during a particular quarter based on claims data from prior quarters. In the U.S., actual rebate claims are typically made by payers one to three quarters in arrears. Actual claims and payments may vary significantly from our estimates.
36


We may experience adverse impacts resulting from the importation of our products from lower price markets or the distribution of illegally diverted or counterfeit versions of our products.
Prices for our products are based on local market economics and competition and sometimes differ from country to country. Our sales in countries with relatively higher prices may be reduced if products can be imported and resold into those countries from lower price markets. U.S. sales could also be affected if FDA permits importation of drugs from Canada. We have entered into agreements with generic drug manufacturers as well as licensing agreements with the Medicines Patent Pool, a United Nations-backed public health organization, which allow generic drug manufacturers to manufacture generic versions of certain of our products for distribution in certain low- and middle-income countries. We may be adversely affected if any generic versions of our products, whether or not produced and/or distributed under these agreements, are exported to the U.S., the EU or markets with higher prices.
In the EU, we are required to permit products purchased in one EU member state to be sold in another member state. Purchases of our products in member states where our selling prices are relatively low for resale in member states in which our selling prices are relatively high can affect the inventory level held by our wholesalers and can cause the relative sales levels in the various countries to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and not reflect the actual consumer demand in any given quarter.
Additionally, diverted products may be used in countries where they have not been approved and patients may source the diverted products outside the legitimate supply chain. These diverted products may be handled, shipped and stored inappropriately, which may affect the quality and/or efficacy of the products and could harm patients and adversely impact us.
We are also aware of the existence of various suppliers around the world that, without Gilead’s authorization, purport to source our products and generic versions of our products and sell them for use in countries where those products have not been approved. As a result, patients may be at risk of taking unapproved medications that may not be what they purport to be, may not have the potency they claim to have or may contain harmful substances, which could harm patients and adversely impact us.
Further, third parties have illegally distributed and sold, and may continue to illegally distribute and sell, illegally diverted and counterfeit versions of our medicines, which do not meet the rigorous quality standards of our manufacturing and supply chain. For example, as part of a U.S. civil enforcement lawsuit in coordination with law enforcement, and pursuant to court order, we seized thousands of bottles of Gilead-labeled medication with counterfeit supply chain documentation. Our investigation revealed that pharmaceutical distributors that are not authorized by Gilead to sell Gilead medicine sold purportedly genuine Gilead medicine sourced from an illegal counterfeiting scheme to independent pharmacies nationwide.
Illegally diverted and counterfeit versions of Gilead-branded medicines exist and may pose a serious risk to patient health and safety. Our actions to stop or prevent the distribution and sale of illegally diverted and counterfeit versions of our medicines around the world may be costly and unsuccessful, which may adversely affect patients and our reputation and business, including our product revenues and financial results.
Product Development and Supply Chain Risks
We face risks in our clinical trials, including the potential for unfavorable results, delays in anticipated timelines and disruption.
We are required to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of product candidates that we develop for each intended use through extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials. The results from these studies do not always accurately predict results in later, large-scale clinical trials. Even successfully completed large-scale clinical trials may not result in marketable products.
We face numerous risks and uncertainties with our clinical trials that could result in delays or prevent completion of the development and approval of our product candidates, including challenges in clinical trial protocol design, our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials, the possibility of unfavorable or inadequate trial results to support further development of our product candidates, including failure to meet a trial’s primary endpoint, safety issues arising from our clinical trials, and the need to modify or delay our clinical trials or to perform additional trials. For example, in October 2022, we announced that FDA issued a complete response letter for our Biologics License Application for bulevirtide for the treatment of adults with hepatitis delta virus infection. In addition, see Note 7. Intangible Assets of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the partial in-process research and development impairment charge that we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to assets we acquired from Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”) in 2020.
37


As a result, we may be unable to successfully complete our clinical trials on our anticipated timelines, or at all. Based on trial results, it is possible that FDA and other regulatory authorities do not approve our product candidates, or that any market approvals include significant limitations on the products’ use. In addition, clinical trials involving our commercial products can raise new safety issues for our existing products, which could adversely impact our business. Further, we may make a strategic decision to discontinue development of our product candidates if, for example, we believe commercialization will be difficult relative to other opportunities in our pipeline. Therefore, our product candidates may never be successfully commercialized, and we may be unable to recoup the significant R&D and clinical trial expenses incurred. We expect to expend significant time and resources on our clinical trial activities without any assurance that we will recoup our investments or that our efforts will be commercially successful.
There are also risks associated with the use of third parties in our clinical trial activities. We extensively outsource our clinical trial activities and usually perform only a small portion of the start-up activities in-house. We rely on independent third-party contract research organizations (“CROs”) to perform most of our clinical studies, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, program management, patient enrollment, ongoing monitoring, site management and bioanalytical analysis. Many important aspects of the services performed for us by the CROs are out of our direct control. If there is any dispute or disruption in our relationship with our CROs, our clinical trials may be delayed. Moreover, in our regulatory submissions, we rely on the quality and validity of the clinical work performed by third-party CROs. If any of our CROs’ processes, methodologies or results were determined to be invalid or inadequate, our own clinical data and results and related regulatory approvals may be adversely affected.
We may face manufacturing difficulties, delays or interruptions, including at our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners.
Our products, which are manufactured at our own facilities or by third-party manufacturers and corporate partners, are the result of complex, highly regulated manufacturing processes. We depend on third-party manufacturers and corporate partners to perform manufacturing activities effectively and on a timely basis for the majority of our active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug products. These third parties are independent entities subject to their own unique operational and financial risks that are out of our control. We and our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners are subject to Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”), which are extensive regulations governing manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards as defined by FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), as well as comparable regulations in other jurisdictions. Manufacturing operations are also subject to routine inspections by regulatory agencies.
Any adverse developments affecting or resulting from our manufacturing operations or the operations of our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners may result in shipment delays, inventory shortages, lot failures, product withdrawals or recalls or other interruptions in the commercial supply of our products. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, inventory write-off charges and other expenses for products that fail to meet specifications and quality standards, and we may need to undertake costly remediation efforts or seek more costly manufacturing alternatives. Such developments could increase our manufacturing costs, cause us to lose revenues or market share and damage our reputation. In addition, manufacturing issues may cause delays in our clinical trials and applications for regulatory approval. For example, if we are unable to remedy any deficiencies cited by FDA or other regulatory agencies in their inspections, our existing products and the timing of regulatory approval of product candidates in development could be adversely affected. Further, there is risk that regulatory agencies in other countries where marketing applications are pending will undertake similar additional reviews or apply a heightened standard of review, which could delay the regulatory approvals for products in those countries. Our business may be adversely affected if approval of any of our product candidates were delayed or if production of our products were interrupted.
We may not be able to obtain materials or supplies necessary to conduct clinical trials or to manufacture and sell our products, which could limit our ability to generate revenues.
We need access to certain supplies and products to conduct our clinical trials and to manufacture and sell our products. If we are unable to purchase enough of these materials or find suitable alternative materials in a timely manner, our development efforts for our product candidates may be delayed or our ability to manufacture and sell our products could be limited.
38


Suppliers of key components and materials must be named in the new drug application or marketing authorization application filed with the regulatory authority for any product candidate for which we are seeking marketing approval, and significant delays can occur if the qualification of a new supplier is required. Even after a manufacturer is qualified by the regulatory authority, the manufacturer must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain full compliance with GMP. Manufacturers are subject to regular periodic inspections by regulatory authorities following initial approval. If, as a result of these inspections, a regulatory authority determines that the equipment, facilities, laboratories or processes do not comply with applicable regulations and conditions of product approval, the regulatory authority may suspend the manufacturing operations. If the manufacturing operations of any of the single suppliers for our products are suspended, we may be unable to generate sufficient quantities of commercial or clinical supplies of product to meet market demand. In addition, if deliveries of materials from our suppliers are interrupted for any reason, we may be unable to ship certain of our products for commercial supply or to supply our product candidates in development for clinical trials. Also, some of our products and the materials that we utilize in our operations are manufactured by only one supplier or at only one facility, which we may not be able to replace in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Problems with any of the single suppliers or facilities we depend on, including in the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake, equipment failure or other difficulty, may negatively impact our development and commercialization efforts.
A significant portion of the raw materials and intermediates used to manufacture our antiviral products are supplied by third-party manufacturers and corporate partners outside of the U.S. As a result, any political or economic factors in a specific country or region, including any changes in or interpretations of trade regulations, compliance requirements or tax legislation, that would limit or prevent third parties outside of the U.S. from supplying these materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and supply our antiviral products to meet market needs and have a material and adverse effect on our operating results.
If we were to encounter any of these difficulties, our ability to conduct clinical trials on product candidates and to manufacture and sell our products could be impaired.
Regulatory and Other Legal Risks
Our operations depend on compliance with complex FDA and comparable international regulations. Failure to obtain broad approvals on a timely basis or to maintain compliance could delay or halt commercialization of our products.
The products we develop must be approved for marketing and sale by regulatory authorities and, once approved, are subject to extensive regulation by FDA, EMA and comparable regulatory agencies in other countries. We have filed, and anticipate that we will continue to file, for marketing approval in additional countries and for additional indications and products. These and any future marketing applications we file may not be approved by the regulatory authorities on a timely basis, or at all. Even if marketing approval is granted for these products, there may be significant limitations on their use. We cannot state with certainty when or whether any of our product candidates under development will be approved or launched; whether we will be able to develop, license or acquire additional product candidates or products; or whether any products, once launched, will be commercially successful.
Further, how we manufacture and sell our products is subject to extensive regulation and review. For example, under FDA rules, we are often required to conduct post-approval clinical studies to assess a known serious risk, signals of serious risk or to identify an unexpected serious risk. In certain circumstances, we may be required to implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program for our products, which could include a medication guide, patient package insert, a communication plan to healthcare providers, restrictions on distribution or use of a product and other elements FDA deems necessary to assure safe use of the drug. Discovery of previously unknown problems with our marketed products or product candidates, including serious safety, resistance or drug interaction issues, or problems with our manufacturing, safety reporting or promotional activities, may result in regulatory approvals being delayed, denied or granted with significant restrictions on our products, including limitations on or the withdrawal of the products from the market.
Failure to comply with these or other requirements imposed by FDA could result in significant civil monetary penalties, fines, suspensions of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products and criminal prosecutions.
39


We are impacted by evolving laws, regulations and legislative or regulatory actions applicable to the healthcare industry.
The healthcare industry is subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations pertaining to drug approval, reimbursement, rebates, price reporting, healthcare fraud and abuse, and data privacy and security. In the U.S., these laws include anti-kickback and false claims laws, Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, laws and regulations relating to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state programs, such as the Medicaid Rebate Statute and the 340B statute, laws that regulate written and verbal communications about our products, individual state laws relating to pricing and sales and marketing practices, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and other federal and state laws relating to the privacy and security of health information. Actual or alleged violations of these laws or any related regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, substantial fines, civil monetary penalties, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Defense health programs, actions against executives overseeing our business and significant remediation measures, negative publicity or other consequences. These laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to changing and evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance, alter one or more of our sales or marketing practices, or impact our ability to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals. The resulting impact on our business is uncertain and could be material.
In addition, government price reporting and payment regulations are complex, and we are continually assessing the methods by which we calculate and report pricing in accordance with these obligations. Our methodologies for calculations are inherently subjective and may be subject to review and challenge by various government agencies, which may disagree with our interpretation. If the government disagrees with our reported calculations, we may need to restate previously reported data and could be subject to additional financial and legal liability.
There also continues to be enhanced scrutiny of company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including co-pay assistance programs and manufacturer donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance. There has also been enhanced scrutiny by governments on reimbursement and other patient support offerings, clinical education programs and promotional speaker programs. If we, or our agents and vendors, are deemed to have failed to comply with laws, regulations or government guidance in any of these areas, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. Any similar violations by our competitors could also negatively impact our industry reputation and increase scrutiny over our business and our products.
For a description of our government investigations and related litigation, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are subject to risks if significant safety issues arise for our marketed products or our product candidates.
As additional studies are conducted after obtaining marketing approval for our products, and as our products are used over longer periods of time by many patients, including patients with underlying health problems or those taking other medicines, we expect to continue finding new issues related to safety, resistance or drug interactions. Any such issues may require changes to our product labels, such as additional warnings, contraindications or even narrowed indications, or to halt sales of a product.
Regulatory authorities have been moving towards more active and transparent pharmacovigilance and are making greater amounts of stand-alone safety information and clinical trial data directly available to the public through websites and other means, such as periodic safety update report summaries, risk management plan summaries and various adverse event data. Safety information, without the appropriate context and expertise, may be misinterpreted and lead to misperception or legal action.
Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to obtain and defend our patents and other intellectual property rights both domestically and internationally, and to operate without infringing upon the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties.
Patents and other proprietary rights are very important to our business. As part of our business strategy, we actively seek patent protection both in the U.S. and internationally and file additional patent applications, when appropriate, to cover improvements in our compounds, products and technology. Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to:
obtain patents and licenses to patent rights;
preserve trade secrets and internal know-how;
defend against infringement of our patents and efforts to invalidate them; and
operate without infringing on the intellectual property of others.
40


Because patent applications are confidential for a period of time after filing, we may not know if our competitors have filed applications for technology covered by our pending applications or if we were the first to invent or first to file an application directed toward the technology that is the subject of our patent applications. If competitors file patent applications covering our technology, we may have to participate in litigation, post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other proceedings to determine the right to a patent or validity of any patent granted. Such litigation and proceedings are unpredictable and expensive, and could divert management attention from other operations, such that, even if we are ultimately successful, we may be adversely impacted.
Patents covering our existing compounds, products and processes, and those that we will likely file in the future, may not provide complete or adequate protection. Filing patent applications is a fact-intensive and complex process. We may file patent applications that ultimately do not result in patents or have patents that do not provide adequate protection for the related product. Future litigation or other proceedings regarding the enforcement or validity of our existing patents or any future patents could result in the invalidation of our patents or substantially reduce their protection. In addition, we may face criticism as a result of our legitimate use of the patent systems to protect our investments in new and useful innovations in medicine.
Generic manufacturers have sought, and may continue to seek, FDA approval to market generic versions of our products through an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), the application process typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. For a description of our ANDA litigation, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. ANDA litigation and related settlement and license agreements, in some cases, may result in a loss of exclusivity for our patents sooner than we would otherwise expect. In addition, loss of exclusivity may be earlier than expected under these settlement and license agreements under certain circumstances. For example, settlement and license agreements with generic manufacturers typically include acceleration clauses that permit generic entry before the agreed-upon entry date in certain circumstances, and generic manufacturers may continue to challenge the patents protecting our products. The entry of generic versions of our products has, and may in the future, lead to market share and price erosion.
If we are found to infringe the valid patents of third parties, we may be required to pay significant monetary damages or we may be prevented from commercializing products or may be required to obtain licenses from these third parties. We may not be able to obtain alternative technologies or any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain these licenses or alternative technologies, we may be unable to develop or commercialize some or all of our products. For example, we are aware of patents and patent applications owned by other parties that such parties may claim to cover the use of our products and research activities. For a description of our pending patent litigation, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Furthermore, we also rely on unpatented trade secrets and improvements, unpatented internal know-how and technological innovation. We protect these rights mainly through confidentiality agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants and vendors. We cannot be certain that these parties will comply with these confidentiality agreements, that we have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets, internal know-how or technological innovation will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. Under some of our R&D agreements, inventions become jointly owned by us and our corporate partner and in other cases become the exclusive property of one party. In certain circumstances, it can be difficult to determine who owns a particular invention and disputes could arise regarding those inventions. We could be adversely affected if our trade secrets, internal know-how, technological innovation or confidential information become known or independently discovered by competitors or if we enter into disputes over ownership of inventions.
We face potentially significant liability and increased expenses from litigation and government investigations relating to our products and operations.
We are involved in a number of litigation, investigation and other dispute-related matters that require us to expend substantial internal and financial resources. These matters could require us to pay significant monetary amounts, including royalty payments for past and future sales. For example, on February 1, 2022, we reached an agreement with ViiV Healthcare Company and related parties (collectively, “ViiV”) for a global resolution of all claims related to our sales of Biktarvy, pursuant to which (1) Gilead agreed to make a one-time payment of $1.25 billion and an ongoing royalty at a rate of 3% on future sales of Biktarvy and the bictegravir component of bictegravir-containing products in the U.S. until October 5, 2027, and (2) ViiV granted Gilead a broad worldwide license and covenant not to sue relating to any past, present or future development or commercialization of bictegravir.
We expect these matters will continue to require a high level of internal and financial resources for the foreseeable future. These matters have reduced, and are expected to continue to reduce, our earnings and require significant management attention.
41


In addition, the testing, manufacturing, marketing and use of our commercial products, as well as product candidates in development, involve substantial risk of product liability claims. These claims may be made directly by consumers, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies or others. We have limited insurance for product liabilities that may arise and claims may exceed our coverage.
For a description of our litigation, investigation and other dispute-related matters, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The outcome of such legal proceedings or any other legal proceedings that may be brought against us, the investigations or any other investigations that may be initiated and any other dispute-related matters, are inherently uncertain, and adverse developments or outcomes can result in significant expenses, monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us.
Operational Risks
Our business has been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases, including the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Actual or threatened outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases, or other public health emergencies, may significantly disrupt our global operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. As we have seen with the COVID-19 pandemic, outbreaks can result in global supply chain and logistics disruptions and distribution constraints. The impact of an outbreak or other public health crisis on our results of operations and financial condition would depend on numerous evolving factors, but could involve higher operating expenses, lower demand for our products as a result of governmental, business and individuals’ actions taken in response to such an event (including quarantines, travel restrictions and interruptions to healthcare services, which can impact enrollment in or operation of our clinical trials or limit patients’ ability or willingness to access and seek care), challenges associated with the safety of our employees and safe occupancy of our job sites, and financial market volatility and significant macroeconomic uncertainty in global markets. An outbreak or public health emergency also could amplify many of the other risks described throughout the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We face risks associated with our global operations.
Our global operations are accompanied by certain financial, political, economic and other risks, including those listed below:
Foreign Currency Exchange: For the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 30% of our product sales were outside the U.S. Because a significant percentage of our product sales is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Overall, we are a net receiver of foreign currencies, and therefore, we benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. Our hedging program does not eliminate our exposure to currency fluctuations. We may be adversely impacted if the U.S. dollar appreciates significantly against certain currencies and our hedging program does not sufficiently offset the effects of such appreciation. For example, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in the Euro, and the impacts from foreign currency exchange, net of hedges, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest Rates and Inflation: We hold interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including our available-for-sale debt securities and our senior unsecured notes and credit facilities. Fluctuations in interest rates, including the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent increases in interest rates, could expose us to increased financial risk. In addition, high inflation, such as what we are seeing in the current economic environment, has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our business and financial results.
Anti-Bribery: We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws that govern our international operations with respect to payments to government officials. Our international operations are heavily regulated and require significant interaction with foreign officials. We operate in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree. In certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices or may require us to interact with doctors and hospitals, some of which may be state-controlled, in a manner that is different than local custom. It is possible that certain of our practices may be challenged under these laws. In addition, our internal control policies and procedures may not protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees and agents. Enforcement activities under anti-bribery laws could subject us to administrative and legal proceedings and actions, which could result in civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties and exclusion from healthcare programs.
42


Other risks inherent in conducting a global business include:
Restrictive government actions against our intellectual property and other foreign assets such as nationalization, expropriation, the imposition of compulsory licenses or similar actions, including waiver of intellectual property protections.
Protective economic policies taken by foreign governments, such as trade protection measures and import and export licensing requirements, which may result in the imposition of trade sanctions or similar restrictions by the U.S. or other governments.
Business interruptions stemming from natural or man-made disasters, such as climate change, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, fires, extreme heat, drought or actual or threatened public health emergencies, or efforts taken by third parties to prevent or mitigate such disasters, such as public safety power shutoffs and facility shutdowns, for which we may not have sufficient insurance. For example, our corporate headquarters in Foster City and certain R&D and manufacturing facilities are located in California, a seismically active region. In the event of a major earthquake, we may not carry sufficient earthquake insurance, and significant recovery time could be required to resume operations.
Political instability or disruption in a geographic region where we operate, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, social unrest and political changes, including in China, Russia and Ukraine.
Our aspirations, goals and disclosures related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters expose us to numerous risks, including risks to our reputation and stock price.
Institutional and individual investors are increasingly using ESG screening criteria to determine whether Gilead qualifies for inclusion in their investment portfolios. We are frequently asked by investors and other stakeholders to set ambitious ESG goals and provide new and more robust disclosure on goals, progress toward goals and other matters of interest to ESG stakeholders. In response, we have adapted the tracking and reporting of our corporate responsibility program to various evolving ESG frameworks, and we have established and announced goals and other objectives related to ESG matters. These goal statements reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our efforts to accomplish and accurately report on these goals and objectives present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks, any of which could have a material negative impact, including on our reputation and stock price.
Our ability to achieve any goal or objective, including with respect to environmental and diversity initiatives, is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control. Examples of such risks include: (1) the availability and cost of low- or non-carbon-based energy sources and technologies, (2) evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures, (3) the availability of suppliers that can meet our sustainability, diversity and other standards, (4) our ability to recruit, develop and retain diverse talent in our labor markets and (5) the impact of our organic growth and acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or operations.
The standards for tracking and reporting on ESG matters are relatively new, have not been harmonized and continue to evolve. Our selection of disclosure frameworks that seek to align with various reporting standards may change from time to time and may result in a lack of consistent or meaningful comparative data from period to period. In addition, regulatory authorities may impose mandatory disclosure requirements with respect to ESG matters. For example, in March 2022, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) proposed rule changes that would require companies to make certain climate-related disclosures, including information about climate-related risks, greenhouse gas emissions and certain climate-related financial statement metrics. Our processes and controls may not reflect evolving standards for identifying, measuring and reporting ESG matters, immediately or at all, our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others, and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in significant revisions to our goals or reported progress in achieving such goals. In addition, enhancements to our processes and controls to reflect evolving reporting standards may be costly and require additional resources.
If our ESG practices do not meet evolving investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, then our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner or acquiror could be negatively impacted. Similarly, our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our goals, targets and objectives or to satisfy various reporting standards within the timelines we announce, or at all, could also have similar negative impacts and expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.
We depend on relationships with third parties for sales and marketing performance, technology, development, logistics and commercialization of products. Failure to maintain these relationships, poor performance by these companies or disputes with these third parties could negatively impact our business.
We rely on a number of collaborative relationships with third parties for our sales and marketing performance in certain territories. In some countries, we rely on international distributors for sales of certain of our products. Some of these relationships also involve the clinical development of these products by our partners. Reliance on collaborative relationships poses a number of risks, including the risk that:
43


we are unable to control the resources our corporate partners devote to our programs or products;
disputes may arise with respect to the ownership of rights to technology developed with our corporate partners;
disagreements with our corporate partners could cause delays in, or termination of, the research, development or commercialization of product candidates or result in litigation or arbitration;
contracts with our corporate partners may fail to provide significant protection or may fail to be effectively enforced if one of these partners fails to perform;
our corporate partners have considerable discretion in electing whether to pursue the development of any additional products and may pursue alternative technologies or products either on their own or in collaboration with our competitors;
our corporate partners with marketing rights may choose to pursue competing technologies or to devote fewer resources to the marketing of our products than they do to products of their own development; and
our distributors and our corporate partners may be unable to pay us.
Given these risks, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the success of our current and future collaborative efforts. If these efforts fail, our product development or commercialization of new products could be delayed or revenues from products could decline.
Due to the specialized and technical nature of our business, the failure to attract, develop and retain highly qualified personnel could adversely impact us.
Our future success will depend in large part on our continued ability to attract, develop and retain highly qualified scientific, technical and management personnel, as well as personnel with expertise in clinical testing, governmental regulation and commercialization. Our ability to do so also depends in part on how well we maintain a strong workplace culture that is attractive to employees. In addition, competition for qualified personnel in the biopharmaceutical field is intense, and there is a limited pool of qualified potential employees to recruit. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. Additionally, changes to U.S. immigration and work authorization laws and regulations could make it more difficult for employees to work in or transfer to one of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Significant cybersecurity incidents could give rise to legal liability and regulatory action under data protection and privacy laws and adversely affect our business and operations.
We are dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure and data, including our Kite Konnect platform, which is critical to maintain chain of identity and chain of custody of Yescarta and Tecartus. The multitude and complexity of our computer systems make them inherently vulnerable to service interruption or destruction, malicious intrusion and ransomware attack. Likewise, data privacy or cybersecurity incidents or breaches by employees or others can result in the exposure of sensitive data, including our intellectual property or trade secrets or the personal information of our employees, patients, customers or other business partners to unauthorized persons or to the public. Cybersecurity attacks and incidents are increasing in their frequency, sophistication and intensity. Malicious actors seek to steal money, gain unauthorized access to, destroy or manipulate data, and disrupt operations, and some of their attacks may not be recognized or discovered until launched or after initial entry into the environment, such as novel or zero-day attacks that are launched before patches are available and defenses can be readied. Malicious actors are also increasingly developing methods to avoid prevention, detection and alerting capabilities, including employing counter-forensic tactics making response activities more difficult. Such attacks and incidents include, for example, the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and operations and threaten data confidentiality, integrity and availability. Our business and technology partners face similar risks and any security breach of their systems could adversely affect our security posture.
Like many companies, we have experienced cybersecurity incidents, including data breaches and service interruptions. When cybersecurity incidents occur, our policy is to respond and address them in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and other legal requirements, including our cybersecurity protocols. There can be no assurance that our efforts in response to cybersecurity incidents, as well as our investments to protect our information technology infrastructure and data, will shield us from significant losses, brand and reputational harm and potential liability or prevent any future interruption or breach of our systems. Such cybersecurity incidents can cause the loss of critical or sensitive information, including personal information, and could give rise to legal liability and regulatory action under data protection and privacy laws.
44


Regulators globally are also imposing new data privacy and security requirements, including new and greater monetary fines for privacy violations. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) established regulations regarding the handling of personal data, and non-compliance with the GDPR may result in monetary penalties of up to four percent of worldwide revenue. In addition, new domestic data privacy and security laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act and other laws that have been or may be passed, similarly introduce requirements with respect to personal information, and non-compliance with such laws may result in liability through private actions (subject to statutorily defined damages in the event of certain data breaches) and enforcement. Other changes or new laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of personal information, could greatly increase our cost of providing our products and services or even prevent us from offering certain services in jurisdictions in which we operate.
Strategic and Financial Risks
We are subject to risks associated with engaging in business acquisitions, licensing arrangements, collaborations, options, equity investments, asset divestitures and other strategic transactions.
We have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, such transactions as part of our business strategy. We may not identify suitable transactions in the future and, if we do, we may not complete such transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, including the possibility that a governmental entity or regulatory body may delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction. If we are successful in making an acquisition or closing a licensing arrangement or collaboration, the products, intellectual property and technologies that are acquired or licensed may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than anticipated. As part of our annual impairment testing of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter, and earlier if impairment indicators exist, as required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we may need to recognize impairment charges related to the products, intellectual property and technologies that are acquired or licensed. For example, as a result of an impairment analysis we conducted following our receipt of data in March 2022 from the Phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study evaluating Trodelvy in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer, we recognized a partial in-process research and development impairment charge on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during 2022. For option structured deals, there is no assurance that we will elect to exercise our option right, and it is possible that disagreements, uncertainties or other circumstances may arise, including with respect to whether our option rights have been appropriately triggered, which may hinder our ability to realize the expected benefits. For equity investments in our strategic partners, such as in connection with our collaborations with Arcus Biosciences, Inc. and Galapagos NV, the value of our equity investments may fluctuate and decline in value. If we are not successful in the execution or implementation of these transactions, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected, and our stock price could decline.
We have paid substantial amounts of cash and incurred additional debt to finance our strategic transactions. Additional indebtedness and a lower cash balance could result in a downgrade of our credit ratings, limit our ability to borrow additional funds or refinance existing debt on favorable terms, increase our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions, and reduce our financial flexibility to continue with our capital investments, stock repurchases and dividend payments. For example, as a result of the cash used and the debt issued in connection with our acquisition of Immunomedics in 2020, S&P Global Ratings downgraded our credit rating. We may be adversely impacted by any failure to overcome these additional risks.
Changes in our effective income tax rate could reduce our earnings.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, various countries are actively considering and have made changes to existing tax laws, and we cannot predict the form or timing of such changes. Our effective tax rates are affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the introduction of new taxes, and changes in tax laws, regulations, administrative practices and interpretations, including in the U.S., Germany and Ireland.
We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and tax authorities in various foreign jurisdictions. There are differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations and, as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. We may be adversely affected by the resolution of one or more of these exposures in any reporting period.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants an option to Optionee named below upon the following terms and conditions:
1.Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Optionee a Non-statutory Stock Option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan (the “Option”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
OPTION GRANT SPECIFICS
Name of Optionee:

Vesting Schedule:Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, the Option will vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) 25% of the Option Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) 6.25% of the Option Shares quarterly thereafter through the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, in each case, subject to the Optionee’s Continuous Service through each vesting date.

2.Option Term; Exercisability. The term of the Option begins on the Grant Date and continues through the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 4 or 5 below (as applicable, the “Term”). The portion of the Option that has vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule above will remain exercisable through the end of the Term. Upon the expiration of the Term, the Option will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
1



3.Transferability. The Option is not transferable or assignable by Optionee other than to Optionee’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Optionee’s estate following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee.
4.Cessation of Service. The Term will terminate (and the Option will cease to be outstanding) prior to bthe Expiration Date in accordance with this Paragraph 4.
(a)Death. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service as a result of Optionee’s death, then (i) the Option will immediately be fully vested and exercisable and (ii) the Option may be exercised by Optionee’s designated beneficiary (or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, the personal representative of Optionee’s estate) until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the 12-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (B) the Expiration Date.
(b)Disability. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service as a result of Optionee’s Disability, then (i) the Option will immediately be fully vested and exercisable and (ii) the Option may be exercised by Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of (A) expiration of the 12-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (B) the Expiration Date.
(c)Retirement. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service (i) at least 12 months following the Grant Date and (ii) (x) after attaining age 55 and completing at least 10 years of Continuous Service or (y) after attaining age 65, then (I) the Option will continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule as if Optionee had remained in Continuous Service and (II) the Option may be exercised by Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of: (A) expiration of the five-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (B) the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment or legal development in Optionee’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment applicable to the Option pursuant to this Paragraph 4(c) being deemed unlawful or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply this favorable treatment at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Continuous Service, and the Option will be treated as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 4, as applicable.
(d)For Cause Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, should Optionee’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause (or for a reason that is comparable to termination for Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or under the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), or should Optionee engage in any other conduct, while in Continuous Service or following cessation of Continuous Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Company (or any Related Entity), as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, then the Option will be immediately cancelled and forfeited, whether or not vested.
2



(e)Other Terminations. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service for any reason other than as provided in Paragraphs 4(a) - 4(d), then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the expiration of the earlier of (i) the expiration of the three-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (ii) the Expiration Date.
(f)The period of post-service exercisability in effect pursuant to this Paragraph 4 will automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within such post-service exercise period during which the exercise of the Option or the immediate sale of the Option Shares acquired cannot be effected in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws, but in no event will such an extension result in the continuation of the Option beyond the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date.
(g)During any period of post-service exercisability in effect pursuant to this Paragraph 4, the Option may be exercisable only for the portion of the Option which is vested and exercisable (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting under this Paragraph 4 or Paragraph 5), and upon a cessation of Continuous Service, any portion of the Option which is not vested and exercisable will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
5.Change in Control.
(a)At the time of a Change in Control, the Option may be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect, (ii) replaced with an economically-equivalent substitute equity award or (iii) replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any Option Shares for which the Option is not vested and exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that spread in accordance with the Vesting Schedule applicable to such Option Shares. In the event the Option is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the Option will be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.
(b)In the event of an assumption, continuation or replacement of the Option under Paragraph 5(a), no accelerated vesting of the Option will occur at the time of the Change in Control. However, if Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause, or if Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to a Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for that Change in Control and ending with the earlier of (A) the termination of that definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (B) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control, then:
(i) the Option (or any economically equivalent award) will immediately be fully vested and exercisable; or
3



(ii) the balance credited to Optionee under any replacement cash retention program will immediately be vested and paid to Optionee in a lump sum;
(c)In the event all or any portion of the Option is not assumed, continued or replaced under Paragraph 5(a), the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable with adequate opportunity for Optionee to exercise the Option prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, and immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, the Option will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
6.Stockholder Rights. Optionee will not have any stockholder rights including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to the Option Shares until the Option is exercised, the Exercise Price is paid and Optionee becomes a holder of record of the Option Shares.
7.Manner of Exercising Option.
(a)In order to exercise all or any portion of the Option, Optionee must take the following actions:
(i) Execute and deliver to the Company a notice of option exercise in the form authorized by the Company (the “Notice of Exercise”) as to the Option Shares for which the Option is to be exercised or comply with such other procedures as the Company may establish for notifying the Company of such exercise;
(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 7 of the Plan;
(iii)    Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the Option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise the Option; and
(iv)    Make appropriate arrangements with the Company or the Related Entity employing or retaining Optionee (the “Employer”) for the satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Taxes.
(b)As soon as practical after the date the Option is exercised, the Company will issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) the purchased Option Shares, subject to appropriate restrictions, if any.
(c)In no event may the Option be exercised for any fractional Option Shares.
(d)The exercise of the Option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise will be subject to compliance by the Company and Optionee with all Applicable Laws relating thereto, as determined by counsel for the Company.
4



(e)The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Option will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
8.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the Employer may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Option, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends on those shares; and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Optionee is subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Optionee acknowledges that the Company or the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to the relevant taxable event, Optionee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Withholding Taxes. Optionee authorizes the Company or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Withholding Taxes by one or a combination of the following:
(i)withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option;
(ii)withholding from any other wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company or the Employer; or
(iii)payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan.
The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Optionee’s jurisdiction, in which case Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Optionee may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Optionee may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer. If the obligation for
5



Withholding Taxes is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Option, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Withholding Taxes. The Company may refuse to deliver any purchased Option Shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes.
9.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of this Agreement, Optionee’s Continuous Service will not be deemed to cease during any period for which Optionee is on a military leave, sick leave or other personal leave approved by the Company. However, Optionee will not receive any Continuous Service credit, for purposes of vesting under the Vesting Schedule, for any period of such leave of absence, except to the extent otherwise required by employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any, or pursuant to the following policy:
(a)Optionee will receive Continuous Service credit for such vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence or (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
(b)In no event will Optionee be deemed to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Optionee returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date, or (ii) the date Optionee’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of Option’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Optionee’s death or Disability.
10.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Optionee’s country or Optionee’s broker’s country, if different, which may affect Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., options) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times as Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Optionee placed before Optionee possessed inside information. Furthermore, Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Optionee acknowledges that it is Optionee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and Optionee should speak with Optionee’s personal legal advisor on this matter.
11.Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee will be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the most current address then indicated for Optionee on the

Company’s employee records or will be delivered electronically to Optionee through the Company’s electronic mail system or through the on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect option exercises through the internet. All notices will be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. or local country mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
12.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 5 above, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns, and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. All decisions of the Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement will be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Option. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation. The word “or” is not exclusive. Words in the masculine gender include the feminine gender, and where appropriate, the plural includes the singular and the singular includes the plural.

18.Waiver. Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Optionee or other Optionees.
19.Data Privacy.
(a)Data Privacy Consent. By electing to participate in the Plan via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Optionee is declaring that Optionee agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
(b)Declaration of Consent. Optionee understands that Optionee needs to review the following information about the processing of Optionee's personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity as described in the Agreement and any other Plan materials (the “Personal Data”) and declare Optionee's consent. As regards the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan and this Agreement, Optionee understands that the Company is the controller of Optionee's Personal Data.
9



(c)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about Optionee for the purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Optionee understands that this Personal Data may include Optionee's name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data, where required, will be Optionee's consent.
(d)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Optionee understands that the Company transfers Optionee's Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Optionee’s Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. Optionee understands and acknowledges that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Optionee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and that Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(e)International Data Transfers. Optionee understands that the Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc., are based in the United States.

The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Optionee’s Personal Data is Optionee’s consent.
(f)Data Retention. Optionee understands that the Company will use Optionee’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. In the latter case, Optionee understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs Optionee’s Personal Data for any of the above purposes, Optionee understands the Company will remove it from its systems.
(g)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. Optionee understands that Optionee’s participation in the Plan and Optionee’s consent is purely voluntary. Optionee may deny or later withdraw Optionee’s consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Optionee denies or later withdraws Optionee’s consent, the Company can no longer offer Optionee participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to Optionee or administer or maintain such awards and Optionee would no longer be able to participate in the Plan. Optionee further understands that denial or
10



withdrawal of Optionee’s consent would not affect Optionee’s status or salary as an employee or Optionee’s career and that Optionee would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(h)Data Subject Rights. Optionee understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the Applicable Laws and that, depending on where Optionee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, Optionee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about Optionee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about Optionee that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, processed based on withdrawn consent, processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of Optionee’s objection, do not prove to be compelling, or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data in certain situations where Optionee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Optionee’s Personal Data that Optionee has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or Optionee’s employment and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, Optionee understands that Optionee may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, Optionee’s rights, Optionee understands that Optionee should contact Optionee’s local human resources representative.
20.Plan Prospectus. The official prospectus for the Plan is available on the Company’s intranet at: GNet > Employee Resources > Stock Awards > Plan Documents. Optionee may also obtain a printed copy of the prospectus by contacting Stock Plan Services at stockplanservices@gilead.com.

Further, if Optionee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version differs in substance from the English version, the English version will control.

An exercise of any portion of the shares subject to this Option shall be deemed to be an acceptance by Optionee of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
24.Foreign Account / Assets Reporting. Depending upon the country to which laws Optionee is subject, Optionee may have certain foreign asset or account reporting requirements that may affect Optionee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside Optionee’s country. Optionee’s country may require that Optionee report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in Optionee’s country. Optionee is responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and should speak with Optionee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding same.
25.Addendum. Notwithstanding any provision herein, Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall be subject to any special terms and conditions as set forth in any addendum to this Agreement setting forth special terms and conditions for Optionee’s country (the “Addendum”). Moreover, if Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Optionee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement.
26.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

A.    The Company maintains the Gilead Sciences, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants.
B.    This Performance Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s issuance of Shares to the Participant thereunder.
C.    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the attached Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1.Grant of Performance Shares. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Grant Date indicated below, Performance Shares under the Plan (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement provides the Participant with the right to receive one or more Shares on the designated issuance date for those shares, based upon the extent to which each Performance Share vests pursuant to the terms hereof
AWARD SUMMARY
Participant:
Grant Date:March 10, 2023
Target Number of Performance Shares:
The actual number of Shares that may become issuable pursuant to the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement will be determined in accordance with the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I. For purposes of the applicable calculations under Schedule I, the target number of Performance Shares to be utilized is _____ shares (the “Target Shares”).



Vesting Schedule:
Vesting Requirements. The Performance Shares will be subject to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting requirements set forth in attached Schedule I and will vest on the Certification Date
Change in Control Vesting. The Shares underlying the Performance Shares may also vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement should a Change in Control occur after the start but prior to the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Shares or the Certification Date.
Issuance Date:The Shares which actually vest and become issuable pursuant to the Performance Shares will be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the particular circumstances under which such vesting occurs.
2.Limited Transferability. Prior to the actual issuance of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Performance Shares subject to the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Performance Shares or underlying shares, including through any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder but otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death will be transferred to Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Participant’s estate.
3.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents
(a)Participant will not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend (except as provided in Paragraph 3(b)) or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares upon their actual issuance.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that this Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more Shares subject to this Award on such record date have not been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account will be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such Shares at the time subject to this Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As such Shares subsequently vest hereunder, the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will vest, and those vested dividend equivalents will be distributed to Participant (in the
2


form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the vested Shares to which those dividend equivalents relate and correspondingly as such Shares are forfeited or cancelled under the Award (including in accordance with the Continuous Service vesting provisions), the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will be forfeited or cancelled. Settlement of dividend equivalents will be subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes. The Administrator will have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination will control. No dividend equivalent amount will be paid or distributed on Shares under this Award that are forfeited, cancelled or that otherwise are not issued or issuable under this Award.
4.Change in Control. The following provisions will apply only to the extent a Change in Control is consummated prior to the Certification Date and will have no force or effect if the effective date of the Change in Control occurs after the Certification Date:
(a)Should (i) the Change in Control occur within the first 12 months of the Performance Period and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant will immediately vest in that number of Shares equal to the Target Shares subject to this Award, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions.
(b)Should (i) the Change in Control occur at any time on or after the completion of the first 12 months of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant will immediately vest in that number of Shares equal to the greater of (i) the Target Shares subject to the Award or (ii) the actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares determined by multiplying (A) the Target Shares subject to this Award by (B) the applicable percentage (determined in accordance with the payout slope set forth in attached Schedule I) for the level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained over an abbreviated Performance Period ending with the close of the Company’s fiscal quarter coincident with or immediately preceding the effective date of the Change in Control, in either case, without regard to the Continuous Service vesting requirements.
(c)The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 will also apply if Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause or Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for the Change in Control transaction and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of the definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (ii) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control.
(d)Should Participant cease Continuous Service by reason of Participant’s Retirement at least twelve 12 months following the Grant Date but prior to the Certification Date and a Change in Control subsequently occurs prior to the Certification Date, then Participant will, at the time of such Change in Control, immediately vest in that number of
3


Shares equal to the Target Shares subject to this Award, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions.
(e)The number of Shares in which Participant vests determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 will be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other stockholders of the Company in consummation of the Change in Control, and such consideration will be distributed to Participant on the earlier of (i) the 10th business day following the effective date of the Change in Control or (ii) the date those shares would have been issued to Participant in accordance with Paragraph 5 in the absence of such Change in Control. Each issuance or distribution made under this Paragraph 4(e) will be subject to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(f)Except for the actual number of Shares in which Participant vests in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Participant will cease to have any further right or entitlement to any additional Shares under this Agreement following the effective date of the Change in Control.
(g)This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
5.Settlement of Award.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, the Shares in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I will be issued in accordance with the following provisions:
The issuance of the Shares will be effected during the period beginning on the first business day of February of the calendar year immediately succeeding the end of the Performance Period and ending no later than March 15 of that calendar year.
(b)The Company will, on the applicable issuance date, issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate in electronic form for the Shares in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I and will concurrently settle with Participant any associated dividend equivalents.
(c)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 or this Paragraph 5, the settlement of all Performance Shares or Performance-Qualified Shares which vest under the Award will be made solely in Shares.
(d)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, no Shares will be issued prior to the Certification Date. No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to the Award, and any fractional share resulting from any calculation made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be rounded down to the next whole share.
4


(e)The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award will be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto.
(f)The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
6.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the applicable Related Entity employing or retaining the Participant (the “Employer”) may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Award or Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Shares or other property in settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is or becomes subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)The Company will collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the Shares issued under this Agreement (including any Shares issued in settlement of any dividend equivalents) through an automatic share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the Shares are issued under the Award, a portion of those shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”), unless the Share Withholding Method is not permissible or advisable under local law or until the Company otherwise decides, in its sole discretion, to no longer utilize the Share Withholding Method and provides Participant with a corresponding notice. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(c)If the Share Withholding Method is not used, then the Withholding Taxes will be collected from Participant through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan. Participant will, promptly upon request from the
5


Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such broker-dealer sale and remittance transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no broker-dealer sale and remittance transaction will be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
(d)If the Company determines that such broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the Shares until such procedure can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through Participant’s delivery of Participant’s separate check payable to the Company (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event will any Shares be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(e)The Company will collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to dividend equivalents distributed in a form other than Shares by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion so withheld, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.
(f)The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States, the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting (as determined under applicable tax laws) of the Shares or any other amounts hereunder will in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest (as determined under applicable tax laws). Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested Shares or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest, Participant will, if so requested by the Company, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company ) in the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts. Alternatively, the Company may,
6


in its sole discretion, elect to withhold the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts from other wages payable to Participant, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Paragraph 6(g) will be applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Section 3121(v) of the Code.
7.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various Continuous Service vesting provisions of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not to remain in Continuous Service status during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any, or pursuant to the following policy:

(a)Participant will receive Continuous Service credit for vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence or (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
(b)In no event, however, will Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date, or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of Participant’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability.
8.Nature of Grant. In accepting this Award, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past;

7


without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(g)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages will arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any Related Entity or the Employer, waives Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, any Related Entity and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agreed to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(i)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Award and the Shares subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Participant may provide as a director of the Company or a Related Entity;
(j)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and
(k)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Related Entity shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Shares or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Performance Shares or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
9.Data Privacy.
(a)Data Privacy Consent. By electing to participate in the Plan via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that Participant agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the Related Entities and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
8


(b)Declaration of Consent. Participant understands that Participant needs to review the following information about the processing of Participant’s personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity as described in the Agreement and any other Plan materials (the “Personal Data”) and declare Participant’s consent. As regards the processing of Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan and this Agreement, Participant understands that the Company is the controller of Participant’s Personal Data.
(c)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about Participant for the purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Participant understands that this Personal Data may include Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Shares or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of Participant’s Personal Data, where required, will be Participant’s consent.
(d)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Participant understands that the Company transfers Participant’s Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Participant’s Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and that Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

(g)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. Participant understands that Participant’s participation in the Plan and Participant’s consent is purely voluntary. Participant may deny or later withdraw Participant’s consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Participant denies or later withdraws Participant’s consent, the Company can no longer offer Participant participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards and Participant would no longer be able to participate in the Plan.

In case of concerns, Participant understands that Participant may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, Participant’s rights, Participant understands that Participant should contact Participant’s local human resources representative.
10.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant should consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or the Award.
11.Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed to the Company at its

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant, and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate.
13.Section 409A of the Code
(a)It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement will, to the maximum extent permissible, comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) with respect to one or more Shares underlying the Award. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code applicable to such short-term deferral exception, then those provisions, as they apply to such Shares, will be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that apply to such exception.
(b)However, to the extent this Agreement should be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to one or more Shares underlying the Award, then the following provisions will apply with respect to those Shares, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:
    -    None of those Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to those Shares by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant until or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such Separation from Service. As used herein, “Separation from Service” means the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service that is considered a separation from service under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).
    -    None of those Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to those Shares by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s
11


Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Administrator, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. The deferred Shares or other distributable amount will be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death.
14.Construction; Interpretation. This Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. All decisions of the Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement will be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Award. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation. The word “or” is not exclusive. Words in the masculine gender include the feminine gender, and where appropriate, the plural includes the singular and the singular includes the plural. All references to “including” will be construed as meaning “including without limitation.”
15.Governing Law/Venue. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to its conflict-of-laws rules. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement or otherwise relating to or arising from this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made or to be performed
16.Employment at Will. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will confer upon Participant any right to remain in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Employer or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.
17.Plan Prospectus. The official prospectus for the Plan is available on the Company’s intranet at: GNet > Employee Resources > Stock Awards > Plan Documents. Participant may also obtain a printed copy of the prospectus by contacting Stock Plan Services at stockplanservices@gilead.com.
18.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan
12


by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
19.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions will nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
20.Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.
21.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Participant’s country or Participant's broker’s country, if different, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares, rights to shares (e.g., Performance Shares) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Participant should speak with Participant's personal legal advisor on this matter.
22.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
23.Participant Acceptance. Participant must accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement either electronically through the electronic acceptance procedure established by the Company or through a written acceptance delivered to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company. In no event will any Shares be issued (or other securities or property distributed) under this Agreement in the absence of such acceptance. By accepting the Award, Participant agrees that the Award is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and Agreement.

A.Certification Date means the date following the completion of the Performance Period on which the Administrator certifies the attained level of the TSR Performance Goal for such Performance Period.
B.Performance Goal means the total shareholder return performance goal specified on attached Schedule I (the “TSR Performance Goal”) that must be attained in order to satisfy the performance-vesting requirement for the Shares subject to this Award.
C.Performance Period means the period specified on attached Schedule I over which the attainment of the TSR Performance Goal is to be measured.
D.Performance-Qualified Shares means the maximum number of Shares in which Participant can vest based on the level at which the Performance Goal for the Performance Period is attained and will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of attached Schedule I.

SCHEDULE I
PERFORMANCE GOAL AND PERFORMANCE PERIOD
PERFORMANCE PERIOD
The measurement period for the Performance Shares shall be the 34 month period beginning March 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2025 (the “Performance Period”).
PERFORMANCE GOAL FOR PERFORMANCE VESTING
Performance Goal – Total Shareholder Return: The performance-vesting requirement for the Performance Shares subject to this Award shall be tied to the percentile level at which the total shareholder return (including stock price appreciation and reinvestment of any cash dividends or other stockholder distributions) to the Company’s stockholders over the Performance Period stands in relation to the total shareholder return realized for that period by the companies comprising the following three subsets of the S&P Healthcare Index: Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals and Health Care Equipment (collectively the “S&P Healthcare Sub-Index”).
For such purpose, the total shareholder return (“TSR”) shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:
TSR = (Ending Stock Price* - Beginning Stock Price**) + Reinvested Dividends*** Beginning Stock Price**
* Ending Stock Price is the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock calculated for the last 60 consecutive trading days within the Performance Period.
** Beginning Stock Price is the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock calculated for the last 60 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the commencement of the Performance Period.
*** Reinvested Dividends shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares (including fractional shares) that could have been purchased during the Performance Period had each cash dividend paid on a single share during that period been immediately reinvested in additional shares (or fractional shares) at the closing selling price per share of the Common Stock on the applicable dividend payment date by (ii) the average daily closing price per share calculated for the last 60 consecutive trading days within the Performance Period.
Each of the foregoing amounts shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the shares in question without the issuer’s receipt of consideration.
For each company in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index, the TSR with respect to its common stock shall be calculated in the same manner as for the Common Stock.
In addition, the following parameters shall be in effect for purposes of measuring the total shareholder return for the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index:



a company will be included in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index only if that company is in existence both at the start of the Performance Period and at the end of the Performance Period, and the stock price performance of any company that is acquired, or otherwise ceases to exist as an independent publicly-owned entity, during the Performance Period shall not be taken into account in determining the relative total shareholder return of the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index for the Performance Period;
any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend), whether in cash, securities (other than shares of the distributing company’s common stock) or other property, made during the Performance Period by a company included in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index for that period shall be treated in the same manner as a regular cash dividend paid by such distributing company (in an amount per share of the distributing company’s common stock deemed equal to the cash amount or the fair market value of the securities or other property distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock) that is immediately reinvested in the distributing company’s common stock; provided and only if the amount distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock (as determined in the manner set forth herein) is at least 10% of the closing price per share of the distributing company’s common stock on the effective date of such distribution; otherwise, such distribution shall not be taken in effect in calculating the relative total shareholder return of the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index; and
any spin-off distribution of shares of the common stock of one or more subsidiaries or other affiliated entities that is made during the Performance Period by a company included in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index for that period shall be treated in the same manner as a regular cash dividend paid by that distributing company (in an amount per share of the distributing company’s common stock deemed equal to the fair market value of the common stock (or fractional share thereof) of the spun-off entity distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock) that is immediately reinvested in the distributing company’s common stock; provided and only if the amount distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock (as determined in the manner set forth herein) is at least 10% of the closing price per share of the distributing company’s common stock on the effective date of such distribution; otherwise, such spin-off distribution shall not be taken in effect in calculating the relative total shareholder return of the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index.
For purposes of measuring the total shareholder return of the Company for the Performance Period, the foregoing parameters governing distributions and spin-off transactions shall also apply to any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend) or spin-off transaction that is effected by the Company during the Performance Period.
Should a Change in Control occur during the Performance Period, then the attained level of the Performance Goal shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Change in Control provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement.



Performance-Qualified Shares: Within 65 days after the completion of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine and certify the actual level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained. The actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares that results from such certification may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares subject to this Award, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The actual percentage shall be determined on the basis of the percentile level at which the Administrator certifies that the TSR Performance Goal has been attained in relation to the total shareholder return realized for that period by the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index; provided, however, that (i) the maximum number of Shares that may qualify as Performance-Qualified Shares may not exceed 200% of the Target Shares, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and (ii) in no event shall the number of Shares that may qualify as Performance-Qualified Shares pursuant to the Relative TSR Payout Slope below exceed 100% of the Target Shares (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan) if the Company’s absolute TSR for the Performance Period is negative.
Payout Slope for Determining Number of Performance-Qualified Shares Based on Attained Levels of TSR Performance Goal: The number of Shares that may qualify as Performance-Qualified Shares on the basis of the certified percentile level of TSR Performance Goal attainment shall be calculated by multiplying the Target Shares (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan) by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the following payout slope for the TSR Performance Goal (with appropriate straight-line interpolation for any attained percentile level within two designated percentile levels in such slope):

CONTINUOUS SERVICE VESTING REQUIREMENT FOR PERFORMANCE-QUALIFIED SHARES
The number of Shares in which Participant may actually vest on the basis of the number of Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator in accordance with the performance vesting provisions of this Schedule I will be tied to Participant’s completion of the following Continuous Service vesting requirements:
If Participant remains in Continuous Service through the Certification Date, Participant will vest in 100% of the Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator for the Performance Period.
Death; Disability. In the event Participant’s Continuous Service terminates prior to the Certification Date by reason of death or Disability, then Participant will, at the time of such termination of Continuous Service, immediately vest in the Target Shares; provided, however, that if such termination occurs upon or following the end of the Performance Period, then Participant will instead vest in 100% of the Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator for the Performance Period. The Shares that vest pursuant to this paragraph will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service , but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
Retirement. In the event Participant’s Continuous Service terminates by reason of Participant’s Retirement at least 12 months following the Grant Date but prior to the Certification Date, then Participant will, following the completion of the Performance Period and the Certification Date, vest in 100% of the Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator for the Performance Period as if Participant had remained in Continuous Service through the Certification Date.
In the event (i) Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause, or Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to a Constructive Termination, at any time after the completion of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date and (ii) such termination of Continuous Service also occurs during a period while there is in effect a definitive executed agreement for a Change in Control transaction, then Participant will vest in the number of Performance-Qualified Shares in which Participant could vest, based on the actual level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained and certified for the Performance Period, had Participant remained in Continuous Service through such Certification Date.
In the event Participant’s Continuous Service ceases for any other reason (including, without limitation, any deemed cessation of Continuous Service under Paragraph 8 of this Agreement) prior to the Certification Date, then Participant will not vest in any of the Performance-Qualified Shares, and all of Participant’s right, title and interest to the Shares subject to this Award will immediately terminate; provided,



however, that should a Change in Control occur prior to the completion of the Performance Period, then the provisions of Paragraph 4 will govern the vesting of the Performance Shares subject to this Award.


EXHIBIT 10.26
REVENUE PERFORMANCE GOAL
GILEAD SCIENCES, INC.
2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
RECITALS
A.The Company maintains the Gilead Sciences, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants.
B.    This Performance Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s issuance of Shares to the Participant thereunder.
C.    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the attached Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.    Grant of Performance Shares. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Grant Date indicated below, Performance Shares under the Plan (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement provides the Participant with the right to receive one or more Shares on the designated issuance date for those shares, based upon the extent to which each Performance Share vests pursuant to the terms hereof.
AWARD SUMMARY
Participant:
Grant Date:March 10, 2023
Target Number of Performance Shares:
The actual number of Shares that may become issuable pursuant to the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement will be determined in accordance with the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I. For purposes of the applicable calculations under Schedule I, the target number of Performance Shares to be utilized is [______] shares (the “Target Shares”).
The Performance Shares will be divided into three separate Tranches with one third (1/3) of the Target Shares allocated to each such Tranche.
1


Vesting Schedule:
Vesting Requirements. Each Tranche of Performance Shares will be subject to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting requirements set forth for that particular Tranche in attached Schedule I and will vest on the Certification Date.
Change in Control Vesting. The Shares underlying each Tranche of Performance Shares may also vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement should a Change in Control occur after the start but prior to the completion of the Performance Period applicable to that particular Tranche or the Certification Date.
Issuance Date:The Shares which actually vest and become issuable pursuant to each Tranche of Performance Shares will be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the particular circumstances under which such vesting occurs.
2.Limited Transferability. Prior to the actual issuance of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Performance Shares subject to the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Performance Shares or underlying shares, including through any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder but otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death will be transferred to Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Participant’s estate.
3.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents
(a)Participant will not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend (except as provided in Paragraph 3(b)) or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares upon their actual issuance.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that this Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more Shares subject to this Award on such record date have not been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account will be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such Shares at the time subject to this Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As such Shares subsequently vest hereunder, the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will vest, and those vested dividend equivalents will be distributed to Participant (in the
2



form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the vested Shares to which those dividend equivalents relate and correspondingly as such Shares are forfeited or cancelled under this Award (including in accordance with the Continuous Service vesting provisions), the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will be forfeited or cancelled. Settlement of dividend equivalents will be subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes. The Administrator will have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination will control. No dividend equivalent amount will be paid or distributed on Shares under this Award that are forfeited, cancelled or that otherwise are not issued or issuable under this Award.
4.Change in Control. The following provisions will apply only to the extent a Change in Control is consummated prior to the Certification Date and will have no force or effect if the effective date of the Change in Control occurs after the Certification Date:
(a)Should (i) the Change in Control occur during a Performance Period that is in effect at the time with respect to a particular Tranche of Performance Shares but prior to the completion of that Performance Period and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant will immediately vest in that number of Shares equal to the Target Shares allocated to that particular Tranche, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date with respect to that particular Tranche and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions. To the extent a Performance Period for a particular Tranche of Performance Shares has not commenced prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, the Performance Shares allocated to that Tranche in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and the provisions of attached Schedule I will be cancelled, and Participant will not have any further right or entitlement to receive any Shares with respect to those cancelled Performance Shares.
(b)Should (i) the Change in Control occur at any time on or after the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a particular Tranche of Performance Shares but prior to the Certification Date and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant will immediately vest in that number of Shares equal to the actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares (if any) at the time subject to that Tranche by reason of the level at which the Revenue Performance Goal for that Tranche was in fact attained for the Performance Period applicable to that Tranche, without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions.
(c)The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 will also apply if Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause or Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for the Change in Control transaction and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of the definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (ii) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control.
3



(d)    Should Participant cease Continuous Service by reason of Participant’s Retirement at least twelve 12 months following the Grant Date but prior to the Certification Date and during one or more Service Periods that are, pursuant to the provisions of attached Schedule I, in effect at that time with respect to one or more Tranches of Performance Shares and a Change in Control subsequently occurs prior to the Certification Date, then Participant will, at the time of such Change in Control, immediately vest in that number of Shares equal to the Target Shares allocated to that particular Tranche, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date with respect to that particular Tranche and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions. To the extent a Performance Period for a particular Tranche of Performance Shares has not commenced prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, the Performance Shares allocated to that Tranche in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and the provisions of attached Schedule I will be cancelled, and Participant will not have any further right or entitlement to receive any Shares with respect to those cancelled Performance Shares.
(e)    The number of Shares in which Participant vests determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 will be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other stockholders of the Company in consummation of the Change in Control, and such consideration will be distributed to Participant on the earlier of (i) the 10th business day following the effective date of the Change in Control or (ii) the date those shares would have been issued to Participant in accordance with Paragraph 5 in the absence of such Change in Control. Each issuance or distribution made under this Paragraph 4(e) will be subject to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(f)    Except for the actual number of Shares in which Participant vests in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Participant will cease to have any further right or entitlement to any additional Shares under this Agreement following the effective date of the Change in Control.
(g)    This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
5.Settlement of Award.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, the Shares in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I will be issued in accordance with the following provisions:
-    The issuance of the Shares underlying each particular Tranche of Performance Shares will be effected during the period beginning on the first business day of February of the calendar year immediately succeeding the end of the Tranche Three Performance Period and ending no later than March 15 of that calendar year.
4



(b)    The Company will, on the applicable issuance date, issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate in electronic form for the Shares in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I and will concurrently settle with Participant any associated dividend equivalents.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 or this Paragraph 5, the settlement of all Performance Shares or Performance-Qualified Shares which vest under the Award will be made solely in Shares.
(d)    Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, no Shares will be issued prior to the Certification Date. No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to the Award, and any fractional share resulting from any calculation made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be rounded down to the next whole share.
(e)    The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award will be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto.
(f)    The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
6.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the applicable Related Entity employing or retaining the Participant (the “Employer”) may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Award or Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Shares or other property in settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is or becomes subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)The Company will collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the Shares issued under this
5



Agreement (including any Shares issued in settlement of any dividend equivalents) through an automatic share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the Shares are issued under the Award, a portion of those shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”), unless the Share Withholding Method is not permissible or advisable under local law or until the Company otherwise decides, in its sole discretion, to no longer utilize the Share Withholding Method and provides Participant with a corresponding notice. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(c)If the Share Withholding Method is not used, then the Withholding Taxes will be collected from Participant through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan. Participant will, promptly upon request from the Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such broker-dealer sale and remittance transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no broker-dealer sale and remittance transaction will be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
(d)If the Company determines that such broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the Shares until such procedure can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through Participant’s delivery of Participant’s separate check payable to the Company (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event will any Shares be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(e)The Company will collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to dividend equivalents distributed in a form other than Shares by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion so withheld, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.
(f)The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable
6



withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States, the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting (as determined under applicable tax laws) of the Shares or any other amounts hereunder will in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest (as determined under applicable tax laws). Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested Shares or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest, Participant will, if so requested by the Company, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company ) in the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to withhold the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts from other wages payable to Participant, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Paragraph 6(g) will be applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Section 3121(v) of the Code.

7.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various Continuous Service vesting provisions of this Agreement, the Administrator may determine that Participant will be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not to remain in Continuous Service status during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any, or pursuant to the following policy:
(a)Participant will receive Continuous Service credit for vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence or (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
(b)In no event, however, will Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date, or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of Participant’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability.
7



8.Nature of Grant. In accepting this award, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)    the grant of the Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past;

(g)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages will arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any Related Entity or the Employer, waives Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, any Related Entity and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agreed to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(i)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Award and the Shares subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Participant may provide as a director of the Company or a Related Entity;
8



(j)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and
(k)     neither the Company, the Employer nor any Related Entity shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Shares or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Performance Shares or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
9.Data Privacy.
(a)Data Privacy Consent. By electing to participate in the Plan via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that Participant agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the Related Entities and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.

In the latter case, Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of Participant’s Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations.

Participant may deny or later withdraw Participant’s consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Participant denies or later withdraws Participant’s consent, the Company can no longer offer Participant participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards and Participant would no longer be able to participate in the Plan. Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of Participant’s consent would not affect Participant’s status or salary as an employee or Participant’s career and that Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

10



requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Participant’s Personal Data in certain situations where Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Participant’s Personal Data that Participant has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or Participant’s employment and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, Participant understands that Participant may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, Participant’s rights, Participant understands that Participant should contact Participant’s local human resources representative.
10.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.

Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant will be in writing and addressed to Participant at the most current address then indicated for Participant on the Company’s employee records or will be delivered electronically to Participant through the Company’s electronic mail system or through an on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect sales of the Shares issued hereunder. All notices will be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
12.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant, and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate.
13.Section 409A of the Code
(a)It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement will, to the maximum extent permissible, comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) with respect to each Tranche of Performance Shares under this Award. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code applicable to such short-term deferral exception, then those provisions, as they apply to each Tranche, will be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that apply to such exception.
11



(b)However, to the extent this Agreement should be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to one or more Tranches of the Performance Shares, then the following provisions will apply with respect to any such Tranche, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:
No Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to such Tranche by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant until or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such Separation from Service. As used herein, “Separation from Service” means the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service that is considered a separation from service under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).
No Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to such Tranche by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Administrator, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. The deferred Shares or other distributable amount will be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death.
The Shares that are issuable pursuant to each Tranche of Performance Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and attached Schedule I will be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will confer upon Participant any right to remain in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Employer or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.
17.Plan Prospectus. The official prospectus for the Plan is available on the Company’s intranet at: GNet > Employee Resources > Stock Awards > Plan Documents. Participant may also obtain a printed copy of the prospectus by contacting Stock Plan Services at stockplanservices@gilead.com.

F.Tranche means the three separate tranches (Tranche One, Tranche Two and Tranche Three) into which the Performance Shares subject to this Award are divided in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and attached Schedule I.



SCHEDULE I
PERFORMANCE GOALS AND PERFORMANCE PERIODS FOR THE THREE TRANCHES OF PERFORMANCE SHARES
ESTABLISHMENT OF SEPARATE TRANCHES
The Target Shares subject to the Award have, in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, been divided into three separate Tranches: Tranche One, Tranche Two and Tranche Three. Each such separate Tranche will cover one-third of the Target Shares and will have its own separate Performance Period and Service Period.
PERFORMANCE PERIOD FOR TRANCHE ONE
The measurement period for the Performance Goal for the Performance Shares allocated to Tranche One will be the one-year period coincident with the Company’s 2023 fiscal year (the “Tranche One Performance Period”).
SERVICE PERIOD FOR TRANCHE ONE
The applicable Service Period for the Continuous Service vesting condition for Tranche One will be the period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on the Certification Date.
PERFORMANCE GOAL FOR PERFORMANCE VESTING FOR TRANCHE ONE
Performance Goal for Tranche One: The performance-vesting requirement for the Performance Shares allocated to Tranche One will be tied to the Company’s recognition of net product revenue for the Tranche One Performance Period in a dollar amount ranging from $23.808 billion at 20% threshold level attainment to $26.453 billion at target level attainment and to $27.776 billion at maximum level attainment, with the net product revenue goal at any other point within such range to be in the dollar amount determined on a straight-line interpolated basis pursuant to the 2023 Fiscal Year Revenue Goal/Revenue Payout Slope set forth below. For purposes of determining whether such Revenue Performance Goal is attained, the actual level of net product revenue recognized by the Company for the Tranche One Performance Period will be the net product revenue of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries that is reported on a consolidated basis in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year coincident with the Tranche One Performance Period, adjusted, however, to factor out (i) the effect of any changes in applicable accounting principles that occur after the start of such period and (ii) any product revenue realized during the 2023 fiscal year by any entity acquired by the Company during that year.
Performance-Qualified Shares: Within 65 days after the completion of the Tranche One Performance Period, the Administrator will determine and certify the actual dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche One Performance Period. The actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares that results from such certification (the “Tranche One Performance-Qualified Shares”) may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche One in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The



actual percentage will be determined on the basis of the dollar amount of net product revenue that the Administrator certifies has in fact been recognized for the Tranche One Performance Period, as measured and reported on a consolidated basis with the Company’s subsidiaries in accordance with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year coincident with the Tranche One Performance Period; provided, however, that the maximum number of the Shares that may qualify as Tranche One Performance-Qualified Shares may not exceed 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche One in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
Payout Slope for Determining Number of Performance-Qualified Shares Based on Attained Level of Tranche One Performance Goal: The number of Shares that may qualify as Tranche One Performance-Qualified Shares on the basis of the certified dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche One Performance Period will be calculated by multiplying the number of Target Shares allocated to Tranche One in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan) by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the following revenue goal/payout slope for the Tranche One Performance Goal (with appropriate straight-line interpolation for any attained level within two otherwise designated levels in such slope):

PERFORMANCE PERIOD FOR TRANCHE TWO

SERVICE PERIOD FOR TRANCHE TWO
The applicable Service Period for the Continuous Service vesting condition for Tranche Two will be the period beginning January 1, 2024 and ending on the Certification Date.
PERFORMANCE GOAL FOR PERFORMANCE VESTING FOR TRANCHE TWO
Performance Goal for Tranche Two: The performance-vesting requirement for the Performance Shares allocated to Tranche Two will be tied to the Company’s recognition of net product revenue for the Tranche Two Performance Period in the dollar amounts (at threshold, target and maximum levels, with appropriate straight-line interpolation between any two such designated levels) to be set by the Administrator no later than 90 days after the start of that performance period. The Performance Goal for the Tranche Two Performance Period will be the same as the Performance Goal for the Tranche One Performance Period for any Performance Share Award granted to you in 2024, unless you are notified otherwise in writing promptly following the Administrator’s establishment of the applicable Performance Goal for the Tranche Two Performance Period.
Performance-Qualified Shares: Within 65 days after the completion of the Tranche Two Performance Period, the Administrator will determine and certify the actual dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche Two Performance Period. The actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares that results from such certification (the “Tranche Two Performance-Qualified Shares”) may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche Two in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The actual percentage will be determined on the basis of the dollar amount of net product revenue that the Administrator certifies has in fact been recognized for the Tranche Two Performance Period, as measured and reported on a consolidated basis with the Company’s subsidiaries in accordance with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year coincident with the Tranche Two Performance Period; provided, however, that the maximum number of the Shares that may qualify as Tranche Two Performance-Qualified Shares may not exceed 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche Two in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
Payout Slope for Determining Number of Performance-Qualified Shares Based on Attained Level of Tranche Two Performance Goal: The number of Shares that may qualify as Tranche Two Performance-Qualified Shares on the basis of the certified dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche Two Performance Period will be calculated by multiplying the number of Target Shares allocated to Tranche Two in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement (as such number may be



adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan) by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the payout slope (with appropriate straight-line interpolation for any attained level within two otherwise designated levels in such slope) approved by the Administrator at the same time it establishes the applicable Performance Goal for the Tranche Two Performance Period.
PERFORMANCE PERIOD FOR TRANCHE THREE
The measurement period for the Performance Goal for the Performance Shares allocated to Tranche Three will be the one-year period coincident with the Company’s 2025 fiscal year (the “Tranche Three Performance Period”).
SERVICE PERIOD FOR TRANCHE THREE
The applicable Service Period for the Continuous Service vesting condition for Tranche Three will be the period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending on the Certification Date.
PERFORMANCE GOAL FOR PERFORMANCE VESTING FOR TRANCHE THREE
Performance Goal for Tranche Three: The performance-vesting requirement for the Performance Shares allocated to Tranche Three will be tied to the Company’s recognition of net product revenue for the Tranche Three Performance Period in the dollar amounts (at threshold, target and maximum levels, with appropriate straight-line interpolation between any two such designated levels) to be set by the Administrator no later than 90 days after the start of that performance period. The Performance Goal for the Tranche Three Performance Period will be the same as the Performance Goal for the Tranche One Performance Period for any Performance Share Award granted to you in 2025, unless you are notified otherwise in writing promptly following the Administrator’s establishment of the applicable Performance Goal for the Tranche Three Performance Period.
Performance-Qualified Shares: Within 65 days after the completion of the Tranche Three Performance Period, the Administrator will determine and certify the actual dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche Three Performance Period. The actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares that results from such certification (the “Tranche Three Performance-Qualified Shares”) may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche Three in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The actual percentage will be determined on the basis of the dollar amount of net product revenue that the Administrator certifies has in fact been recognized for the Tranche Three Performance Period, as measured on a consolidated basis with the Company’s subsidiaries in accordance with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year coincident with the Tranche Three Performance Period; provided, however, that the maximum number of the Shares that may qualify as Tranche Three Performance-Qualified Shares may not exceed 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche Three in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.



Payout Slope for Determining Number of Performance-Qualified Shares Based on Attained Level of Tranche Three Performance Goal: The number of Shares that may qualify as Tranche Three Performance-Qualified Shares on the basis of the certified dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche Three Performance Period will be calculated by multiplying the number of Target Shares allocated to Tranche Three in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Plan) by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the payout slope (with appropriate straight-line interpolation for any attained level within two otherwise designated levels in such slope) approved by the Administrator at the same time it establishes the applicable Performance Goal for the Tranche Three Performance Period.
CONTINUOUS SERVICE VESTING REQUIREMENT FOR PERFORMANCE-QUALIFIED SHARES
The number of Shares in which Participant may actually vest on the basis of the number of Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator for each separate Tranche of Performance Shares in accordance with the foregoing provisions will be tied to his or her completion of the following Continuous Service vesting requirement applicable to each such Tranche:
If Participant remains in Continuous Service through the Certification Date, Participant will vest in 100% of the Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator for that Tranche.
Death; Disability. In the event Participant’s Continuous Service terminates prior to the Certification Date by reason of death or Disability, then: (a) if such cessation of Continuous Service occurs at any time on or after the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a particular Tranche of Performance Shares, Participant will immediately vest in the number of Shares equal to the actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares (if any) that was earned for the Performance Period applicable to that Tranche, and (b) if such cessation of Continuous Service occur prior to the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a particular Tranche of Performance Shares, Participant will immediately vest in the Target Shares allocated to that particular Tranche. The Shares that vest pursuant to this paragraph will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following such Cessation of Continuous Service.
If Participant’s Continuous Service terminates prior to the Certification Date but at least 12 months following the Grant Date by reason of Retirement, then Participant will, following the Certification Date, vest in 100% of the Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the



Administrator for that Tranche as if Participant had remained in Continuous Service through the Certification Date.
In the event Participant’s Continuous Service ceases for any other reason (including, without limitation, any deemed cessation of Continuous Service under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement) prior to the Certification Date, then Participant will not vest in any of the Performance-Qualified Shares covered by any Tranche, and all of Participant’s right, title and interest to the Shares underlying each Tranche will immediately terminate; provided, however, that should a Change in Control occur prior to the Certification Date, then the provisions of Paragraph 4 of the Agreement will govern the vesting of the Performance Shares (if any) allocated to each Tranche.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Continuous Service section, should Participant’s Continuous Service cease for any reason (other than Participant’s death or Disability) prior to the start of the Service Period specified above for any particular Tranche of Performance Shares, then Participant will not vest in any of the Performance Shares allocated to that Tranche, and all of Participant’s right, title and interest to the Shares underlying that Tranche will immediately terminate.

2.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Shares, including through any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder, but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death will be transferred to Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Participant’s estate.
3.Cessation of Service.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 3 or in Paragraph 5, should Participant cease Continuous Service for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule, then the Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited with respect to those unvested Shares.
(b)Retirement. In the event Participant ceases Continuous Service (i) at least 12 months following the Grant Date and (ii) (A) after attaining age 55 and completing at least 10 years of Continuous Service or (B) after attaining age 65, then Participant will continue to vest in unvested Shares granted hereunder in accordance with the Vesting Schedule as if such Participant had remained in Continuous Service. Any Shares which vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) will be issued as set forth in Paragraph 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment applicable to the Award pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) being deemed unlawful or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply this favorable treatment at the time of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, and the Award will be treated as set forth in Paragraph 3(a). Furthermore, if Participant is located in Hong Kong, the Netherlands, or Taiwan, Participant will not be eligible for the provisions of this Paragraph 3(b) and the Award will be treated as set forth in Paragraph 3(a).
(c)Death; Disability. In the event Participant ceases Continuous Service as a result of Participant’s death or Disability, then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares at the time subject to the Award.

(d)For Cause Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, should Participant’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause (or for a reason that is comparable to termination for Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or under the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), or should Participant engage in any other conduct, while in Continuous Service or following cessation of Continuous Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the
2


Company (or any Related Entity), as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, then the Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited with respect to all Shares, whether or not vested at the time. Participant will thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.
4.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)Participant will not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend (except as provided in Paragraph 4(b)) or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares upon their actual issuance.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more Shares subject to the Award on such record date have not been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account will be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such Shares at the time subject to the Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As such Shares subsequently vest hereunder, the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will vest, and those vested dividend equivalents will be distributed to Participant (in the form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the vested Shares to which those dividend equivalents relate, and correspondingly, as such Shares are forfeited or cancelled under the Award (including in accordance with Paragraph 3), the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will be forfeited or cancelled. Settlement of dividend equivalents will be subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes. The Administrator will have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination will be controlling. No dividend equivalent amount will be paid or distributed on shares of Common Stock under the Award that are forfeited, cancelled or that otherwise are not issued or issuable under the Award.

(a)At the time of a Change in Control, the Award may be (i) assumed or otherwise continued in full force and effect by the surviving corporation, (ii) replaced with an economically-equivalent substitute award or (iii) replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation that is in a dollar amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying outstanding Restricted Stock Units under the Award (as measured immediately prior to the Change in Control) and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that dollar amount in accordance with the same vesting and issuance provisions that would otherwise be in effect for those Shares in the absence of the Change in Control. In the event the Award is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award will be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.
(b)In the event of an assumption, continuation or replacement of the Award under Paragraph 5(a), no accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will occur at the time of the Change in Control, and the Award will instead be subject to accelerated vesting as follows:
(i) If Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause, or if Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to a Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for that Change in Control and ending with the earlier of (A) the termination of that definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (B) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control, then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares (or any replacement securities or cash proceeds) at the time subject to the Award.
(ii) The Shares (or any replacement securities or cash proceeds) that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 5(c) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (I) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (I) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(c)If the Award is not assumed, continued or replaced in under Paragraph 5(a), then the Award will fully vest immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to the vested Award will be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per Share payable to the other stockholders of the Company upon consummation of that Change in Control, and such consideration per Share will be distributed to Participant by no later than the 10th business day following the earliest to occur of (i) the date the Share would have otherwise vested and been issued pursuant to the Vesting and Issuance Schedules set forth in Paragraph 1 in the absence of such Change in Control, (ii) the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, or (iii) the first date following the Change in Control on which the distribution can be made without contravention of any applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

(d)This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
6.Settlement of Award.
(a)On each date on which one or more Shares are to be issued in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for those Shares and will concurrently distribute to Participant any dividend equivalents with respect to those Shares (in the form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances), subject in each instance to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(b)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5, the settlement of all Restricted Stock Units which vest under the Award will be made solely in Shares. In no event, however, will any fractional Shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of Shares to be issued at the time the Award vests (including any Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) will, to the extent necessary, be rounded down to the next whole Share in order to avoid the issuance of a fractional Share.
(c)The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award will be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto, as determined by counsel for the Company.
(d)The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
7.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the applicable Related Entity employing or retaining the Participant (the “Employer”) may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Award or Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Shares (or other property) upon settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if
5


Participant has become subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)The Company will collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the Shares issued under this Agreement (including Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the Shares are issued under the Award, a portion of those Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”), unless the Share Withholding Method is not permissible or advisable under local law or until the Company otherwise decides, in its sole discretion, to no longer utilize the Share Withholding Method and provides Participant with a corresponding notice. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(c)If the Share Withholding Method is not used , then the Withholding Taxes will be collected from Participant through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan. Participant will, promptly upon request from the Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such broker-dealer sale and remittance transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no broker-dealer sale and remittance transaction will be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
(d) If the Company determines that such broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the Shares until such procedure can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through Participant’s delivery of Participant’s separate check payable to the Company (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event will any Shares be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(e)The Company will collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to dividend equivalents distributed in a form other than Shares by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of
6


the distribution to be the first portion so withheld, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.
(f)The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States, the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting (as determined under applicable tax laws) of the Shares or any other amounts hereunder will in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest (as determined under applicable tax laws). Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested Shares or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest, Participant will, if so requested by the Company, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such Shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the dollar amount equal to Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to withhold the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts from other wages payable to Participant, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Paragraph 7(g) are applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Section 3121(v) of the Code.
8.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various vesting provisions of this Agreement, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that Participant will be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not remain in Continuous Service during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any or pursuant to the following policy:
(a)Participant will receive Continuous Service credit for such vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence and (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
(b)In no event, however, will Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service actually
7


terminates by reason of Participant’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability.
9.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Participant’s country or Participant’s broker’s country, if different, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and Participant should speak with Participant’s personal legal advisor on this matter.
10.Deferred Issuance Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States and the Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 409A of the Code, then the following limitations will apply:
(a)No Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement upon Participant’s Separation from Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Administrator, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. The deferred Shares or other distributable amount will be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death. As used herein, “Separation from Service” means the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service that is considered a separation from service under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).
(b)To the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether any provision of this Agreement would otherwise contravene one or more requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code, such provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
8


(c)Each installment of Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant will be in writing and addressed to Participant at the most current address then indicated for Participant on the Company’s employee records or will be delivered electronically to Participant through the Company’s electronic mail system or through the on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect the sale of the Shares issued hereunder. All notices will be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. or local country mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

We would expect you to start on August 1, 2022 or such earlier date as may be agreed to by the CEO (such date, the “Start Date”).
We are very excited about the possibility of you joining our team, and we look forward to the prospect of working with you in our innovative company. The following outlines the specific terms of our offer:

Your actual bonus payout, which for 2022 will be pro-rated based on the number of days between the Start Date and December 31, 2022, can range from 0% to 200% of this target based on your performance against your annual goals and objectives as established by the Compensation & Talent Committee of Gilead’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The exercise price for your stock options will be equal to the fair market value per share of Gilead common stock on the grant date. The fair market value per share for that date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the equity plan governing your grant.

You will be notified of the details after your RSUs have been granted and your grant will be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in the RSU agreement.
Sign-on Cash Bonus. To offset the value of your annual bonus and certain unvested equity awards forfeited from your current employer and other economic implications of your joining Gilead, you also will be eligible to receive a one-time bonus of $1,200,000 less applicable taxes and withholdings (the “Sign On Bonus”). Your Sign On Bonus will be advanced to you and reflected on your first payroll check subsequent to your Start Date. The gross amount of the Sign On Bonus, however, is not earned unless and until you have completed two years of service with the Company, except, if prior to completing two years of service, your employment is terminated by the Company as a result of a reduction in force or a merger or acquisition of the Company. In the event that your employment is terminated by you without Good Reason (as defined below) or if your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan), and such termination occurs prior to your completion of two years of service, then a portion of the Sign On Bonus advanced to you will not be earned, and a pro-rata amount of the Sign On Bonus must be repaid by you to the Company. Your repayment obligation amount, if applicable, will be equal to the Sign On Bonus advanced, prorated so that for each full month of service, the amount to be repaid shall be reduced by 1/24. Your repayment obligation, if applicable, is due in full to the Company within ninety (90) days immediately following your employment termination date. In the event of your termination of employment as a result of your death or disability, you will not be required to repay any previously paid amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during your first two years with Gilead, your employment is terminated by Gilead without Cause (as defined in the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan) or you terminate your employment for Good Reason (as defined below), you will become 100% vested in any of your remaining unvested New Hire Equity Awards, Make-Whole RSUs and the full Sign- on Bonus, subject to your execution and non-revocation of a waiver and general release of claims within the time period specified by and in the form then provided by Gilead. In such circumstances, any stock options granted as part of your New Hire Equity Award will remain exercisable until the first anniversary of your termination date. Any unpaid portion of the Sign-On Bonus will be paid to you within 60 days following such termination date. The New Hire Equity Awards and Make-Whole RSUs will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of an award agreement that will be provided to you under separate cover.

As used in this letter, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions:(i) an adverse change in your employment status, title, position or primary responsibilities as EVP, Corporate Affairs and General Counsel (including reporting responsibilities); (ii) a reduction in your annual base compensation or any failure to pay you any compensation or benefits to which you are entitled within 30 days of the date due; or (iii) Gilead requires you to relocate to any place outside a 50 mile radius of the greater Foster City, California area, except for reasonably required travel on the business of Gilead or any subsidiary.
Relocation Assistance. Because your role requires you to be based in our Foster City headquarters, Gilead will provide you with certain relocation benefits to support your move to the San Francisco Bay Area. Subject to the following paragraph, Gilead will enroll you in our home marketing, Buyer Value Option (BVO) Program, administered by our relocation vendor, Weichert Mobility. All non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the sale of your current home and (if you so elect) purchase of a new home will be covered by Gilead, through Weichert. This includes the real estate commission, typical seller closing costs, and typical purchase closing costs associated with the purchase of a new home. A complete policy will be provided to you by Weichert, subject to the terms hereof.
Gilead will provide you with up to twenty-four (24) months of temporary accommodations in a fully furnished corporate apartment. Gilead and its relocation vendors will assist you with the selection and billing for these accommodations. Following such period of temporary accommodations, you may elect to receive from Gilead either the mortgage subsidy or the rental subsidy described in the following two paragraphs.
Gilead will provide you assistance with either the purchase of a home, as described in this paragraph, or a rental subsidy, as described in the following paragraph, at your election. If you elect to purchase a home, Gilead will (as noted above) reimburse you for 100% of the transaction costs associated with your home purchase. All non-recurring transaction costs in connection with purchase of a new home will be covered by Gilead, through the Ml Group. This includes the typical purchase closing costs associated with the purchase of a new home. A complete policy will be provided to you by Weichert. The new home purchase must be within 36 months of your start date. In addition, Gilead will provide you a mortgage subsidy. The subsidy is an amount of money to be used only to help you purchase a home in the new location by reducing the mortgage's interest rate for a period of time so that you can transition into a higher cost area. You cannot use the mortgage subsidy for any purpose other than to reduce (temporarily) the interest rate on your loan. In order to be most tax advantageous to you, we will allow you to configure this subsidy in any manner you choose, provided it follows all legal guidelines for tax-favored treatment by Gilead. The mortgage subsidy is provided exclusively through Weichert for up to ten years. The annual distribution is set on a total subsidy amount capped at $450,000.
Alternatively, if you elect to rent a home, Gilead will provide you with a rental subsidy. The rental subsidy you are eligible for is $200,000. The rental subsidy is considered taxable income and will be paid net of taxes.
Weichert will arrange to have your household goods moved to your new location utilizing the company contracted carrier. Payment of these moving expenses will also include a payment to cover state and federal taxes incurred on this portion of your relocation expenses.



image_1.jpg
You will be provided a miscellaneous relocation allowance of $20,000, assoon as administratively possible. This is intended to cover miscellaneous expenses such as utilities installation, auto license and registration, and any other expenses not provided elsewhere under Gilead's relocation policy.
If your employment should terminate within two (2) years of your Start Date, the full cash amount of this relocation package including, but not limited to, any moving allowance, temporary housing costs, transaction costs, lump sums and associated tax gross-ups accepted by you is due and payable to Gilead within 90 days after your last date of employment, except that you will have no such repayment obligation if your employment is terminated by Gilead without Cause (as defined in the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan) or by you for Good Reason (as defined above).
Additional Benefits. The Company provides a comprehensive company-paid benefits package including health, dental, vision, life insurance, and long-term disability insurance plans. You are eligible for health and welfare benefits if you are a full-time employee working 20 hours or more (unless otherwise specified). You will need to enroll for medical or dental/vision within 31 days of your hire date, or you will not be eligible to enroll until the next open enrollment, unless you have a qualifying life event. Upon completion of enrollment, your coverage begins effective your date of hire.
At the next enrollment date, you will be eligible to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that offers you the opportunity to contribute up to 15% of your earnings, up to the IRS maximum, through payroll deductions to purchase Gilead stock at 85% of the lower of the closing price at the date of enrollment or purchase. ESPP enrollment occurs two times a year.
Additionally, we offer a 401(k) plan, which provides you with the opportunity for Pre-tax, Roth After-tax and Additional After-tax savings by deferring from 1-50% of your annual salary, subject to IRS maximums. Gilead will match 100% of your Pre-tax and/or Roth After-tax contributions to the plan up to a maximum company contribution of $15,000 per year. More detailed information regarding your benefits will be provided at your New Employee Orientation, shortly after you begin employment.
As an employee, you are covered under Gilead’s Workers Compensation insurance policy. This policy applies to all employees who become ill or injured on the job. Gilead’s Workers Compensation carrier is XL Insurance America, Inc. Claims are handled by Sedgwick, a Third-Party Administrator, at 1-855-336-0983.
You will be entitled to severance benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Gilead Sciences, Inc. Severance Plan.
For your information, we have enclosed a Benefits Summary outlining Gilead's benefits programs. We will arrange for you to meet with a member of our benefits staff to review your benefits package and enroll in the various programs. Please note that, as an executive, you will not accrue paid time-off but will instead have the flexibility of taking time off at your discretion in accordance with the business needs of the corporation. Please note that the benefits described in this letter are subject to the terms and conditions of all applicable Company plans and policies. In the event there is any discrepancy between the benefit description contained in this letter and the terms of the applicable Company plan or policy, the terms of the applicable plan and policy govern.

1



2.Option Term; Exercisability. The term of the Option begins on the Grant Date and continues through the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 4 or 5 below (as applicable, the “Term”). The portion of the Option that has vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule above will remain exercisable through the end of the Term. Upon the expiration of the Term, the Option will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
3.Transferability. The Option is not transferable or assignable by Optionee other than to Optionee’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Optionee’s estate following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee.
4.Cessation of Service. The Term will terminate (and the Option will cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with this Paragraph 4.
(a)Death. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service as a result of Optionee’s death, then (i) the Option will immediately be fully vested and exercisable and (ii) the Option may be exercised by Optionee’s designated beneficiary (or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, the personal representative of Optionee’s estate) until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the 12-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (B) the Expiration Date.
(b)Disability. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service as a result of Optionee’s Disability, then (i) the Option will immediately be fully vested and exercisable and (ii) the Option may be exercised by Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of (A) expiration of the 12-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (B) the Expiration Date.
(c)Retirement. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service (i) at least 12 months following the Grant Date and (ii) (x) after attaining age 55 and completing at least 10 years of Continuous Service or (y) after attaining age 65, then (I) the Option will continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule as if Optionee had remained in Continuous Service and (II) the Option may be exercised by Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of: (A) expiration of the five-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (B) the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment or legal development in Optionee’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment applicable to the Option pursuant to this Paragraph 4(c) being deemed unlawful or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply this favorable treatment at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Continuous Service, and the Option will be treated as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 4, as applicable.
(d)Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Optionee for Good Reason. In the event Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Optionee for Good Reason (as such term is defined in that certain offer letter by and between Optionee and the Company dated as of June 2, 2022) prior to Optionee completing two
2



years of Continuous Service then, subject to Optionee’s execution and non-revocation of a waiver and general release of claims within the time period specified by and in the form then provided by the Company, (i) the Option will immediately be fully vested and exercisable and (ii) the Option may be exercised by Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of (A) expiration of the 12-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (B) the Expiration Date.
(e)For Cause Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, should Optionee’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause (or for a reason that is comparable to termination for Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or under the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), or should Optionee engage in any other conduct, while in Continuous Service or following cessation of Continuous Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Company (or any Related Entity), as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, then the Option will be immediately cancelled and forfeited, whether or not vested.
(f)Other Terminations. In the event Optionee ceases Continuous Service for any reason other than as provided in Paragraphs 4(a) - 4(e), then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee until the close of business on the last business day prior to the expiration of the earlier of (i) the expiration of the three-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, or (ii) the Expiration Date.
(g)The period of post-service exercisability in effect pursuant to this Paragraph 4 will automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within such post-service exercise period during which the exercise of the Option or the immediate sale of the Option Shares acquired cannot be effected in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws, but in no event will such an extension result in the continuation of the Option beyond the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date.
(h)During any period of post-service exercisability in effect pursuant to this Paragraph 4, the Option may be exercisable only for the portion of the Option which is vested and exercisable (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting under this Paragraph 4 or Paragraph 5), and upon a cessation of Continuous Service, any portion of the Option which is not vested and exercisable will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
5.Change in Control.
(a)At the time of a Change in Control, the Option may be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect, (ii) replaced with an economically-equivalent substitute equity award or (iii) replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any Option Shares for which the Option is not vested and exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that spread in accordance with the Vesting Schedule applicable to such Option Shares. In the event
3



the Option is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the Option will be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.
(b)In the event of an assumption, continuation or replacement of the Option under Paragraph 5(a), no accelerated vesting of the Option will occur at the time of the Change in Control. However, if Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause, or if Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to a Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for that Change in Control and ending with the earlier of (A) the termination of that definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (B) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control, then:
(i) the Option (or any economically equivalent award) will immediately be fully vested and exercisable; or
(ii) the balance credited to Optionee under any replacement cash retention program will immediately be vested and paid to Optionee in a lump sum;
(c)In the event all or any portion of the Option is not assumed, continued or replaced under Paragraph 5(a), the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable with adequate opportunity for Optionee to exercise the Option prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, and immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, the Option will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
6.Stockholder Rights. Optionee will not have any stockholder rights including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to the Option Shares until the Option is exercised, the Exercise Price is paid and Optionee becomes a holder of record of the Option Shares.
7.Manner of Exercising Option.
(a)In order to exercise all or any portion of the Option, Optionee must take the following actions:
(i) Execute and deliver to the Company a notice of option exercise in the form authorized by the Company (the "Notice of Exercise") as to the Option Shares for which the Option is to be exercised or comply with such other procedures as the Company may establish for notifying the Company of such exercise;
(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 7 of the Plan;
(iii) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the Option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise the Option; and
4



(iv) Make appropriate arrangements with the Company or the Related Entity employing or retaining Optionee (the “Employer”) for the satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Taxes.
(b)As soon as practical after the date the Option is exercised, the Company will issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) the purchased Option Shares, subject to appropriate restrictions, if any.
(c)In no event may the Option be exercised for any fractional Option Shares.
(d)The exercise of the Option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise will be subject to compliance by the Company and Optionee with all Applicable Laws relating thereto, as determined by counsel for the Company.
(e)The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Option will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
8.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the Employer may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Option, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends on those shares; and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Optionee is subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Optionee acknowledges that the Company or the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to the relevant taxable event, Optionee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Withholding Taxes. Optionee authorizes the Company or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Withholding Taxes by one or a combination of the following:
(i)withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option;
5



(ii)withholding from any other wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company or the Employer; or
(iii)payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan.
The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Optionee’s jurisdiction, in which case Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Optionee may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Optionee may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Option, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Withholding Taxes. The Company may refuse to deliver any purchased Option Shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes.
9.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of this Agreement, Optionee’s Continuous Service will not be deemed to cease during any period for which Optionee is on a military leave, sick leave or other personal leave approved by the Company. However, Optionee will not receive any Continuous Service credit, for purposes of vesting under the Vesting Schedule, for any period of such leave of absence, except to the extent otherwise required by employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any, or pursuant to the following policy:
(a)Optionee will receive Continuous Service credit for such vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence or (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
(b)In no event will Optionee be deemed to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Optionee returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date, or (ii) the date Optionee’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of Option’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Optionee’s death or Disability.
10.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Optionee’s country or Optionee’s broker’s country, if different, which may affect Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., options) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times as Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local
6



insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Optionee placed before Optionee possessed inside information. Furthermore, Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Optionee acknowledges that it is Optionee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and Optionee should speak with Optionee’s personal legal advisor on this matter.
11.Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee will be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the most current address then indicated for Optionee on the Company’s employee records or will be delivered electronically to Optionee through the Company’s electronic mail system or through the on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect option exercises through the internet. All notices will be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. or local country mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
12.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 5 above, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns, and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate.
13.Construction; Interpretation. This Agreement and the Option evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. All decisions of the Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement will be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Option. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation. The word “or” is not exclusive. Words in the masculine gender include the feminine gender, and where appropriate, the plural includes the singular and the singular includes the plural. All references to “including” shall be construed as meaning “including without limitation.”

7



(b)For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by the Option and this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts for the Northern District of California, and no other courts where the grant of the Option is made or to be performed.
15.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
16.Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and Option. In accepting the Option, Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Option and Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity, as applicable, to terminate Optionee’s employment or service relationship (if any);
(e)Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(f)the Option and the Option Shares, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h)the future value of the Option Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with any certainty;
(i)if the Option Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
8



(j)if Optionee exercises the Option, the value of the Option Shares acquired may increase or decrease, even below the Exercise Price;

(l)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Option and the Option Shares, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Optionee may provide as a director of the Company or a Related Entity;
(m)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Option Shares; and
(n)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Related Entity shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Option Shares acquired upon exercise.
17.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Optionee’s participation in the Plan or Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the Option Shares.

(a)Data Privacy Consent. By electing to participate in the Plan via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Optionee is declaring that Optionee agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the Related Entities and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
(b)Declaration of Consent. Optionee understands that Optionee needs to review the following information about the processing of Optionee’s personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity as described in the Agreement and any other Plan materials (the “Personal Data”) and declare Optionee’s consent. As regards the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan and this Agreement, Optionee understands that the Company is the controller of Optionee’s Personal Data.
(c)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about Optionee for the purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Optionee understands that this Personal Data may include Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data, where required, will be Optionee’s consent.
(d)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Optionee understands that the Company transfers Optionee’s Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Optionee’s Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. Optionee understands and acknowledges that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Optionee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and that Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(e)International Data Transfers. Optionee understands that the Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc., are based in the United States.

The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Optionee’s Personal Data is Optionee’s consent.
10



(f)Data Retention. Optionee understands that the Company will use Optionee’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. In the latter case, Optionee understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs Optionee’s Personal Data for any of the above purposes, Optionee understands the Company will remove it from its systems.
(g)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. Optionee understands that Optionee’s participation in the Plan and Optionee’s consent is purely voluntary. Optionee may deny or later withdraw Optionee’s consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Optionee denies or later withdraws Optionee’s consent, the Company can no longer offer Optionee participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to Optionee or administer or maintain such awards and Optionee would no longer be able to participate in the Plan. Optionee further understands that denial or withdrawal of Optionee’s consent would not affect Optionee’s status or salary as an employee or Optionee’s career and that Optionee would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(h)Data Subject Rights. Optionee understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the Applicable Laws and that, depending on where Optionee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, Optionee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about Optionee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about Optionee that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, processed based on withdrawn consent, processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of Optionee’s objection, do not prove to be compelling, or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Optionee’s Personal Data in certain situations where Optionee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Optionee’s Personal Data that Optionee has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or Optionee’s employment and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, Optionee understands that Optionee may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, Optionee’s rights, Optionee understands that Optionee should contact Optionee’s local human resources representative.

Optionee’s country may require that Optionee report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in Optionee’s country. Optionee is responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and should speak with Optionee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding same.
25.Addendum.

EXHIBIT 10.51    
GILEAD SCIENCES, INC.
2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
RECITALS
A.    The Company maintains the Gilead Sciences, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants.
B.    This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Participant thereunder.
C.    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby awards Restricted Stock Units to the Participant named below upon the following terms and conditions:
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date indicated below, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit that vests hereunder will entitle Participant to receive one share of Common Stock on the specified issuance date for that unit.
AWARD SUMMARY
Participant:Deborah Telman
Award Date:July 25, 2022
Number of Shares Subject to Award:
24,690 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
Vesting Schedule:
Subject to Paragraphs 3 and 5, the Shares will vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the Award Date, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service through each vesting date.
Issuance Schedule
Shares that have become vested will be issued no later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which the Shares vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the applicable vesting date, in each case subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 7.
1


2.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Shares, including through any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder, but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death will be transferred to Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Participant’s estate.
3.Cessation of Continuous Service.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 3 or in Paragraph 5, should Participant cease Continuous Service for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule, then the Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited with respect to those unvested Shares.
(b)Retirement. In the event Participant ceases Continuous Service (i) at least 12 months following the Award Date and (ii) (A) after attaining age 55 and completing at least 10 years of Continuous Service or (B) after attaining age 65, then Participant will continue to vest in unvested Shares granted hereunder in accordance with the Vesting Schedule as if such Participant had remained in Continuous Service. Any Shares which vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) will be issued as set forth in Paragraph 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment applicable to the Award pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) being deemed unlawful or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply this favorable treatment at the time of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, and the Award will be treated as set forth in Paragraph 3(a). Furthermore, if Participant is located in Hong Kong, the Netherlands, or Taiwan, Participant will not be eligible for the provisions of this Paragraph 3(b) and the Award will be treated as set forth in Paragraph 3(a).
(c)Death; Disability. In the event Participant ceases Continuous Service as a result of Participant’s death or Disability, then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares at the time subject to the Award. The Shares that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(c) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(d)Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason. If Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason (as such term is defined in that certain offer letter by and between Participant and the Company dated as of June 2, 2022) prior to Participant completing two years of Continuous Service, then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares at the time subject to the Award, subject to Participant’s execution and non-
2


revocation of a waiver and general release of claims within the time period specified by and in the form then provided by the Company. The Shares that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(d) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(e)For Cause Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, should Participant’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause (or for a reason that is comparable to termination for Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or under the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), or should Participant engage in any other conduct, while in Continuous Service or following cessation of Continuous Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Company (or any Related Entity), as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, then the Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited with respect to all Shares, whether or not vested at the time. Participant will thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.
4.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)Participant will not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend (except as provided in Paragraph 4(b)) or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares upon their actual issuance.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more Shares subject to the Award on such record date have not been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account will be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such Shares at the time subject to the Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As such Shares subsequently vest hereunder, the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will vest, and those vested dividend equivalents will be distributed to Participant (in the form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the vested Shares to which those dividend equivalents relate, and correspondingly, as such Shares are forfeited or cancelled under the Award (including in accordance with Paragraph 3), the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will be forfeited or cancelled. Settlement of dividend equivalents will be subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes. The Administrator will have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination will be controlling. No dividend equivalent
3


amount will be paid or distributed on shares of Common Stock under the Award that are forfeited, cancelled or that otherwise are not issued or issuable under the Award.
5.Change in Control.
(a)At the time of a Change in Control, the Award may be (i) assumed or otherwise continued in full force and effect by the surviving corporation, (ii) replaced with an economically-equivalent substitute award or (iii) replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation that is in a dollar amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying outstanding Restricted Stock Units under the Award (as measured immediately prior to the Change in Control) and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that dollar amount in accordance with the same vesting and issuance provisions that would otherwise be in effect for those Shares in the absence of the Change in Control. In the event the Award is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award will be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.
(b)In the event of an assumption, continuation or replacement of the Award under Paragraph 5(a), no accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will occur at the time of the Change in Control, and the Award will instead be subject to accelerated vesting as follows:
(i)If Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause, or if Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to a Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for that Change in Control and ending with the earlier of (A) the termination of that definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (B) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control (or as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3(d)), then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares (or any replacement securities or cash proceeds) at the time subject to the Award.
(ii)The Shares (or any replacement securities or cash proceeds) that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 5(c) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (I) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (II) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(c)If the Award is not assumed, continued or replaced in under Paragraph 5(a), then the Award will fully vest immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to the vested Award will be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per Share payable to the other stockholders of the Company upon consummation of that Change in Control, and such consideration per Share will be distributed to Participant by no later than the 10th business day following the earliest to occur of (i) the date the Share would have otherwise vested and been issued pursuant to the Vesting and Issuance Schedules set forth in Paragraph 1 in the absence of such Change in
4


Control, (ii) the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, or (iii) the first date following the Change in Control on which the distribution can be made without contravention of any applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code.
(d)This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
6.Settlement of Award.
(a)On each date on which one or more Shares are to be issued in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for those Shares and will concurrently distribute to Participant any dividend equivalents with respect to those Shares (in the form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances), subject in each instance to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(b)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5, the settlement of all Restricted Stock Units which vest under the Award will be made solely in Shares. In no event, however, will any fractional Shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of Shares to be issued at the time the Award vests (including any Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) will, to the extent necessary, be rounded down to the next whole Share in order to avoid the issuance of a fractional Share.
(c)The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award will be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto, as determined by counsel for the Company.
(d)The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
7.Withholding Taxes
(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the applicable Related Entity employing or retaining the Participant (the “Employer”) may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Award or Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Shares (or other property) upon
5


settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)The Company will collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the Shares issued under this Agreement (including Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the Shares are issued under the Award, a portion of those Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”), unless the Share Withholding Method is not permissible or advisable under local law or until the Company otherwise decides, in its sole discretion, to no longer utilize the Share Withholding Method and provides Participant with a corresponding notice. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(c)If the Share Withholding Method is not used, then the Withholding Taxes will be collected from Participant through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan. Participant will, promptly upon request from the Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such broker-dealer sale and remittance transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no broker-dealer sale and remittance transaction will be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
(d)If the Company determines that such broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the Shares until such procedure can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through Participant’s delivery of Participant’s separate check payable to the Company (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event will any Shares be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
6


(e)The Company will collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to dividend equivalents distributed in a form other than Shares by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion so withheld, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.
(f)The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States, the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting (as determined under applicable tax laws) of the Shares or any other amounts hereunder will in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest (as determined under applicable tax laws). Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested Shares or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest, Participant will, if so requested by the Company, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such Shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the dollar amount equal to Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to withhold the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts from other wages payable to Participant, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Paragraph 7(g) are applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Section 3121(v) of the Code.
8.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various vesting provisions of this Agreement, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that Participant will be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not remain in Continuous Service during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any or pursuant to the following policy:
(a)Participant will receive Continuous Service credit for such vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence and (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
7


(b)In no event, however, will Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of Participant’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability.
9.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Participant’s country or Participant’s broker’s country, if different, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and Participant should speak with Participant’s personal legal advisor on this matter.
10.Deferred Issuance Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States and the Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 409A of the Code, then the following limitations will apply:
(a)No Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement upon Participant’s Separation from Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Administrator, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. The deferred Shares or other distributable amount will be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death. As used herein, “Separation from Service” means the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service that is considered a separation from service under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).
(b)To the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether any provision of this Agreement would otherwise contravene one or more requirements or limitations of Section
8


409A of the Code, such provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(c)Each installment of Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
11.Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant will be in writing and addressed to Participant at the most current address then indicated for Participant on the Company’s employee records or will be delivered electronically to Participant through the Company’s electronic mail system or through the on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect the sale of the Shares issued hereunder. All notices will be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. or local country mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
12.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant, Participant’s assigns, and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate.
13.Construction; Interpretation. This Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan.

19.Data Privacy.
(a)Data Privacy Consent. By electing to participate in the Plan via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that Participant agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the Related Entities and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
11


(b)Declaration of Consent. Participant understands that Participant needs to review the following information about the processing of Participant's personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity as described in the Agreement and any other Plan materials (the “Personal Data”) and declare Participant's consent. As regards the processing of Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan and this Agreement, Participant understands that the Company is the controller of Participant's Personal Data.
(c)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about Participant for the purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Participant understands that this Personal Data may include Participant's name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of Participant’s Personal Data, where required, will be Participant's consent.
(d)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Participant understands that the Company transfers Participant's Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Participant’s Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and that Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

Participant may deny or later withdraw Participant’s consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Participant denies or later withdraws Participant’s consent, the Company can no longer offer Participant participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards and Participant would no longer be able to participate in the Plan. Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of Participant’s consent would not affect Participant’s status or salary as an employee or Participant’s career and that Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(h)Data Subject Rights. Participant understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the Applicable Laws and that, depending on where Participant is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, Participant may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about Participant that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, processed based on withdrawn consent, processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of Participant's objection, do not prove to be compelling, or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Participant's Personal Data in certain situations where Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Participant’s Personal Data that Participant has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or Participant's employment and is carried out by automated means.

A.    The Company maintains the Gilead Sciences, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants.

C.    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby awards Restricted Stock Units to the Participant named below upon the following terms and conditions:
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Grant Date indicated below, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit that vests hereunder will entitle Participant to receive one share of Common Stock on the specified issuance date for that unit.
AWARD SUMMARY
Participant:Deborah Telman
Grant Date:July 25, 2022
Number of Shares Subject to Award:
8,230 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
Vesting Schedule:Subject to Paragraphs 3 and 5, the Shares will vest in as follows: (i) 25% of the Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) 6.25% of the Shares quarterly thereafter through the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, in each case, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service through each vesting date.
Issuance ScheduleShares that have become vested will be issued no later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which the Shares vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the applicable vesting date, in each case subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 7.
2.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Shares, including through any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder, but which otherwise remain
1


unissued at the time of Participant’s death will be transferred to Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Participant’s estate.
3.Cessation of Continuous Service.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 3 or in Paragraph 5, should Participant cease Continuous Service for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule, then the Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited with respect to those unvested Shares.
(b)Retirement. In the event Participant ceases Continuous Service (i) at least 12 months following the Grant Date and (ii) (A) after attaining age 55 and completing at least 10 years of Continuous Service or (B) after attaining age 65, then Participant will continue to vest in unvested Shares granted hereunder in accordance with the Vesting Schedule as if such Participant had remained in Continuous Service. Any Shares which vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) will be issued as set forth in Paragraph 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment applicable to the Award pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) being deemed unlawful or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply this favorable treatment at the time of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, and the Award will be treated as set forth in Paragraph 3(a). Furthermore, if Participant is located in Hong Kong, the Netherlands, or Taiwan, Participant will not be eligible for the provisions of this Paragraph 3(b) and the Award will be treated as set forth in Paragraph 3(a).
(c)Death; Disability. In the event Participant ceases Continuous Service as a result of Participant’s death or Disability, then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares at the time subject to the Award. The Shares that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(c) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(d)Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason. If Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason (as such term is defined in that certain offer letter by and between Participant and the Company dated as of June 2, 2022) prior to Participant completing two years of Continuous Service, then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares at the time subject to the Award, subject to Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a waiver and general release of claims within the time period specified by and in the form then provided by the Company. The Shares that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 3(d) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close
2


of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(e)For Cause Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, should Participant’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause (or for a reason that is comparable to termination for Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or under the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), or should Participant engage in any other conduct, while in Continuous Service or following cessation of Continuous Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Company (or any Related Entity), as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, then the Award will be immediately cancelled and forfeited with respect to all Shares, whether or not vested at the time. Participant will thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.
4.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)Participant will not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend (except as provided in Paragraph 4(b)) or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares upon their actual issuance.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more Shares subject to the Award on such record date have not been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account will be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such Shares at the time subject to the Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As such Shares subsequently vest hereunder, the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will vest, and those vested dividend equivalents will be distributed to Participant (in the form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the vested Shares to which those dividend equivalents relate, and correspondingly, as such Shares are forfeited or cancelled under the Award (including in accordance with Paragraph 3), the dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account will be forfeited or cancelled. Settlement of dividend equivalents will be subject to the Company’s collection of applicable Withholding Taxes. The Administrator will have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination will be controlling. No dividend equivalent amount will be paid or distributed on shares of Common Stock under the Award that are forfeited, cancelled or that otherwise are not issued or issuable under the Award.
3


5.Change in Control.
(a)At the time of a Change in Control, the Award may be (i) assumed or otherwise continued in full force and effect by the surviving corporation, (ii) replaced with an economically-equivalent substitute award or (iii) replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation that is in a dollar amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying outstanding Restricted Stock Units under the Award (as measured immediately prior to the Change in Control) and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that dollar amount in accordance with the same vesting and issuance provisions that would otherwise be in effect for those Shares in the absence of the Change in Control. In the event the Award is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award will be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.
(b)In the event of an assumption, continuation or replacement of the Award under Paragraph 5(a), no accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will occur at the time of the Change in Control, and the Award will instead be subject to accelerated vesting as follows:
(i)If Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause, or if Participant resigns from Continuous Service due to a Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for that Change in Control and ending with the earlier of (A) the termination of that definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (B) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control (or as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3(d)), then Participant will immediately vest in all unvested Shares (or any replacement securities or cash proceeds) at the time subject to the Award.
(ii)The Shares (or any replacement securities or cash proceeds) that vest pursuant to this Paragraph 5(c) will be issued or distributed on or as soon as administratively practicable following the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event later than the later of (I) the close of the calendar year in which such cessation of Continuous Service occurs or (II) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service.
(c)If the Award is not assumed, continued or replaced in under Paragraph 5(a), then the Award will fully vest immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to the vested Award will be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per Share payable to the other stockholders of the Company upon consummation of that Change in Control, and such consideration per Share will be distributed to Participant by no later than the 10th business day following the earliest to occur of (i) the date the Share would have otherwise vested and been issued pursuant to the Vesting and Issuance Schedules set forth in Paragraph 1 in the absence of such Change in Control, (ii) the date of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, or (iii) the first date
4


following the Change in Control on which the distribution can be made without contravention of any applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code.
(d)This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
6.Settlement of Award.
(a)On each date on which one or more Shares are to be issued in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for those Shares and will concurrently distribute to Participant any dividend equivalents with respect to those Shares (in the form of additional Shares or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances), subject in each instance to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(b)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5, the settlement of all Restricted Stock Units which vest under the Award will be made solely in Shares. In no event, however, will any fractional Shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of Shares to be issued at the time the Award vests (including any Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) will, to the extent necessary, be rounded down to the next whole Share in order to avoid the issuance of a fractional Share.
(c)The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award will be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto, as determined by counsel for the Company.
(d)The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
7.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or the applicable Related Entity employing or retaining the Participant (the “Employer”) may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to the Award or Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, the ultimate liability for all such Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Shares (or other property) upon settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and
5


the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (or a former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)The Company will collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the Shares issued under this Agreement (including Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the Shares are issued under the Award, a portion of those Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”), unless the Share Withholding Method is not permissible or advisable under local law or until the Company otherwise decides, in its sole discretion, to no longer utilize the Share Withholding Method and provides Participant with a corresponding notice. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(c)If the Share Withholding Method is not used, then the Withholding Taxes will be collected from Participant through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure in accordance with Section 7(d) of the Plan. Participant will, promptly upon request from the Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such broker-dealer sale and remittance transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no broker-dealer sale and remittance transaction will be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
(d)If the Company determines that such broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the Shares until such procedure can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through Participant’s delivery of Participant’s separate check payable to the Company (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event will any Shares be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(e)The Company will collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to dividend equivalents distributed in a form other than Shares by withholding a portion of that
6


distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion so withheld, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.
(f)The Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Withholding Taxes directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Employer.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States, the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting (as determined under applicable tax laws) of the Shares or any other amounts hereunder will in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest (as determined under applicable tax laws). Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested Shares or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest, Participant will, if so requested by the Company, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such Shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the dollar amount equal to Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to withhold the dollar amount equal to the Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts from other wages payable to Participant, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Paragraph 7(g) are applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Section 3121(v) of the Code.
8.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various vesting provisions of this Agreement, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that Participant will be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not remain in Continuous Service during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any or pursuant to the following policy:
(a)Participant will receive Continuous Service credit for such vesting purposes for (i) the first three months of an approved personal leave of absence and (ii) the first seven months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave), but in no event beyond the expiration date of such leave of absence.
(b)In no event, however, will Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service on or before that

date or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of Participant’s voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability.
9.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Participant’s country or Participant’s broker’s country, if different, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and Participant should speak with Participant’s personal legal advisor on this matter.
10.Deferred Issuance Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent Participant is subject to taxation in the United States and the Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 409A of the Code, then the following limitations will apply:
(a)No Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement upon Participant’s Separation from Service will actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Administrator, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. The deferred Shares or other distributable amount will be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death. As used herein, “Separation from Service” means the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service that is considered a separation from service under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).
(b)To the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether any provision of this Agreement would otherwise contravene one or more requirements or limitations of Section 409A of the Code, such provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c)Each installment of Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, plans and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation.

(h)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with any certainty;

(l)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Related Entity shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

18.Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or other Participants.
19.Data Privacy.
(a)Data Privacy Consent. By electing to participate in the Plan via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that Participant agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the Related Entities and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
(b)Declaration of Consent. Participant understands that Participant needs to review the following information about the processing of Participant’s personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer or any Related Entity as described in the Agreement and any other Plan materials (the “Personal Data”) and declare Participant’s consent. As regards the processing of Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan
11


and this Agreement, Participant understands that the Company is the controller of Participant’s Personal Data.
(c)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about Participant for the purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Participant understands that this Personal Data may include Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of Participant’s Personal Data, where required, will be Participant’s consent.
(d)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Participant understands that the Company transfers Participant’s Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Participant’s Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and that Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(e)International Data Transfers. Participant understands that the Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc., are based in the United States.

The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Participant’s Personal Data is Participant’s consent.
(f)Data Retention. Participant understands that the Company will use Participant’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. In the latter case, Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of Participant’s Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations.

12


consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Participant denies or later withdraws Participant’s consent, the Company can no longer offer Participant participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards and Participant would no longer be able to participate in the Plan. Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of Participant’s consent would not affect Participant’s status or salary as an employee or Participant’s career and that Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(h)Data Subject Rights. Participant understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the Applicable Laws and that, depending on where Participant is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, Participant may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about Participant that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, processed based on withdrawn consent, processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of Participant’s objection, do not prove to be compelling, or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Participant’s Personal Data in certain situations where Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Participant’s Personal Data that Participant has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or Participant’s employment and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, Participant understands that Participant may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority.

Depending upon the country to which laws Participant is subject, Participant may have certain foreign asset or account reporting requirements that may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or dividend equivalents received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside Participant’s country. Participant’s country may require that Participant report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in Participant’s country. Participant is responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and should speak with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding same.
25.Addendum.

Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary for legal or administrative reasons.
