This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which are based on our current beliefs and expectations. Such statements
include, without limitation, statements regarding: the anticipated U.S. market opportunity for OFIRMEV; our projections regarding

The UK experience
UK treatment paradigms for moderate
and acute pain are similar to those in
the US
Higher opioid than NSAID usage
Multimodal pain therapy
Perfalgan, BMY’s IV acetaminophen
Launched in 2004
Most share taken from opioids,
some from NSAIDS
Used alone and in combination with
opioids
Multimodal therapy provides broader
market opportunity
