Improving the lives of hospitalized patients
Corporate Overview
July 2011
Exhibit 99.1


2
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 number of formulary approvals of OFIRMEV; our belief that we can rapidly accelerate sales of
OFIRMEV; the potential for us to ultimately acquire Incline Therapeutics, Inc. or other product candidates; and our strategy for
building a long-term hospital pain franchise. 
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
Our
actual
future
results
may
differ
materially
from
our
current
expectations
due
to
the
risks
and
uncertainties
inherent
in
our
business. These risks include our dependence on the successful commercialization of OFIRMEV; the potential that delays in
achieving formulary acceptance for OFIRMEV at a substantial number of targeted accounts may decrease the market
potential for OFIRMEV; our ability to generate revenues from OFIRMEV; our ability to ensure an adequate and continued
supply of OFIRMEV; our ability to successfully enforce our marketing exclusivities and intellectual property rights, and to
defend our patents; the potential product liability exposure associated with OFIRMEV; the risk that we may not be able to
raise
sufficient
capital
when
needed,
or
at
all;
and
other
risks
detailed
under
“Risk
Factors”
and
elsewhere
in
our
Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission from time to time.
All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which is made under the safe harbor
provisions of Section 21E of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we undertake no obligation to revise or
update this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

The UK experience:
an appropriate model
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
Has taken approximately 35% market
share
Most share taken from opioids, some
from NSAIDS
Used alone and in combination
with opioids
Multimodal therapy provides broader
market opportunity
