This Amendment No. 2 to the combined

and supplements the Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February
2, 2018, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on February 14, 2018 (together with any amendments
and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), and relates to the offer by Blue Magpie Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celgene Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Celgene”),
to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Juno
Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Juno”) (other than any Shares owned at the commencement of the
Offer (as defined below) by (i) Celgene, Purchaser or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Celgene and (ii)
Juno (or held in Juno’s treasury)) at a price of $87.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject
to any withholding of taxes in accordance with the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 2, 2018 (the “Offer to Purchase”), which
is annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which is annexed to
and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute
the “Offer.”
The Schedule TO, and all the information
set forth in the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, is hereby amended and supplemented as set
forth below. Every Item in the Schedule TO is automatically updated, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference any section
of the Offer to Purchase that is amended and supplemented herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
| Item 3. | Identity and Background of Filing Person. |
“Item 3. Identity and Background
of Filing Person” of the Schedule TO and the information set forth in Schedule A of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended
and supplemented by adding the following row to the end of the table titled “Celgene Directors” on page 77 as follows:
| Name |
Address |
Principal Occupation or Employment |
| John H. Weiland |
Celgene Corporation
86 Morris Avenue
Summit, New Jersey
07901 |
Retired President and Chief Operating Officer of C.R. Bard,
Inc. (2003-2017)
Former Director of C.R. Bard, Inc. (2005 – 2017) |
| Item 5. | Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements. |
“Item 5. Past Contracts, Transactions,
Negotiations and Agreements” of the Schedule TO and the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in “Special
Factors—Section 10. Certain Agreements between Celgene and its Affiliates and Juno” is hereby amended and supplemented
by replacing the third full paragraph on page 54 as follows:
“On January 21, 2018, Juno
and Celgene modified the Voting and Standstill Agreement to provide a customary “fall away” provision that
would cause the “standstill” provisions to be suspended upon the occurrence of specified events, including the
entry into a definitive acquisition agreement by Juno with a third party other than Celgene or any of its affiliates or a
tender offer or exchange offer of the Shares initiated by any person other than Celgene or any of its affiliates in which
Juno recommends acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer.”
| Item 7. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
“Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds
or Other Consideration” of the Schedule TO and the information set forth in “The Tender Offer—Section 10.
Sources and Amount of Funds” in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Celgene will provide
Purchaser with sufficient funds to pay for all Shares accepted for payment in the Offer or to be acquired in the Merger,
including sufficient funds to pay for the related fees and expenses. We estimate that the total amount of funds necessary to
purchase all outstanding Shares (other than Company-Owned Shares and Celgene-Owned Shares) and other equity-based interests
of Juno pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, including the related fees and expenses, will be up to approximately
$10,000,000,000.
Celgene intends to finance the acquisition
of Shares in the Offer and Merger through (i) its cash on hand and (ii) proceeds from its underwritten public offering of unsecured
senior notes offering that closed on February 20, 2018 (the “Senior Notes Offering”), as described below. No
alternative financing plans exist.
On February 20, 2018, Celgene completed
its Senior Notes Offering, which provided for $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Senior Notes due 2021, $1,000,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Senior Notes due 2023, $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount 3.900% Senior Notes due
2028 and $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount 4.550% Senior Notes due 2048 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”).
The net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes are estimated to be approximately $4,452 million (after deducting underwriting
discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Celgene).
The Senior Notes Offering is not
conditioned upon the completion of the Offer or the Merger, but, in the event that the Offer is not consummated by November
20, 2018, the Merger Agreement is terminated or Celgene determines, in its reasonable judgment, that the Merger will not
occur, Celgene will be required to redeem the Senior Notes, in whole and not in part, at a redemption price equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such notes to the date of redemption.
There is no financing condition to the Offer.
The financial condition of neither Celgene nor Purchaser is relevant to your decision whether to tender your Shares and accept
the Offer because (i) the Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares (other than any Celgene-Owned Shares and any Company-Owned
Shares) solely for cash, (ii) the Offer is not subject to any financing condition, and (iii) if we consummate the Offer, we will
acquire all remaining Shares (other than any Celgene-Owned Shares, Company-Owned Shares and Dissenting Shares) for the same cash
price in the Merger.”
| Item 8. | Interest in Securities of the Subject Company. |
“Item 8. Interest in Securities
of the Subject Company” of the Schedule TO and the information set forth in Schedule B of the Offer to Purchase is hereby
amended and supplemented by adding the following row to the end of the table titled “Security Ownership and Transactions
in the Shares by Celgene, Purchaser and their Respective Directors and Executive Officers” on page 81 as follows:

| Item 11. | Additional Information. |
“Item 11. Additional Information”
of the Schedule TO and the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in “The Tender Offer—Section 13. Certain
Legal Matters” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph after the first full paragraph on page
72 as follows:
“The
applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the purchase of Shares in the Offer and the Merger expired at 11:59
p.m., Eastern time, on February 20, 2018. Accordingly, the condition of the Offer relating to the expiration or termination of
the HSR Act waiting period has been satisfied. The Offer and the Merger remain subject to other closing conditions.”
“Item 12. Exhibits” of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:
| (a)(5)(K) | Press Release issued by Celgene on February 21, 2018 |
| (b) | Indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018, relating to
