Gilead Sciences Inc

According to its Annual report filed with the SEC in 2013: "As discussed above under “Access in the Developing World” in Item 1, Business, we are committed to providing access to certain of our HIV and other products in the developing world, and in that connection, have provided medical education related to the treatment of HIV in these countries. In accordance with this commitment, in January 2012, a non-U.S. subsidiary of Gilead based in Greece (Greek Sub) sponsored an HIV conference in Abu Dhabi, UAE, during which strategies for the treatment and prevention of HIV were discussed. Our third party distributor for Gilead in North Africa and the Middle East, including Iran, invited on our Greek Sub's behalf, doctors throughout the region, including four Iranian doctors, at least two of whom appear to have been officials for the Iranian National AIDS Program. Gilead Sciences Europe Limited reimbursed the distributor for the travel-related expenses of the four Iranian doctors to attend the HIV conference. The expenses for all four Iranian doctors totaled $3,330 and covered the cost of visa fees, airline tickets and transportation. We understand that the distributor in turn transferred the reimbursed amount to an Iranian entity which acts as a sub-distributor in Iran. Neither the distributor nor the sub-distributor is affiliated with Gilead and to our knowledge, are not agencies or instrumentalities or otherwise controlled by the Government of Iran. Sales of our products in Iran by sub-distributors are made available as part of the Gilead Access Program and sold at not-for-profit prices. The activities described above, which involved non-U.S. affiliates of Gilead and occurred prior to the enactment of the Iran Threat Reduction & Syria Human Rights Act in August 2012, were not subject to the U.S.-Iran sanctions regime. We have no current intention to engage in the activities described above in the future, directly or pursuant to any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. If at a future time, Gilead (including any subsidiary) were to engage in such activities, it would first obtain a license from the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control or rely on an applicable exemption from the U.S.-Iran sanctions regime."
