Issuer:   Gilead Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”)
   
Title of Security: 5.250% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”)

Trade Date: September 7, 2023
   
Settlement Date: September 14, 2023 (T+5)

It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about September 14, 2023, which is the fifth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on or after the date of pricing but prior to the closing date may be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisers.
