*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Dr. Robb entered into a postpaid variable share forward arrangement (the "Transaction") with an unrelated third party (the "Buyer") relating to 120,000 shares of common stock of Celgene Corporation ("Common Stock"). The Transaction is scheduled to settle on January 11, 2008 (the "Settlement Date"). The Transaction specifies a forward floor price of $56.48 per share and a forward cap price of $70.28 per share.
(2)	On the Settlement Date, Dr. Robb will deliver to the Buyer (i) if the settlement price is less than or equal to the forward floor price, 120,000 shares; (ii) if the settlement price is greater than the forward floor price, but less than or equal to the forward cap price, a number of shares equal to the product of (A) 120,000 and (B) the forward floor price divided by the settlement price; and (iii) if the settlement price is greater than the forward cap price, a number of shares equal to the product of (A) 120,000 and (B) the quotient of (x) the forward floor price plus the excess of the settlement price over the forward cap price and (y) the settlement price.
(3)	In lieu of delivering shares Dr. Robb may elect to settle the Transaction on the Settlement Date for cash. Dr. Robb has not yet received any payment from the Buyer in connection with entering the Transaction. Dr. Robb has pledged 120,000 shares of Common Stock to secure his obligations under the Transaction.
