BMS amends and extends MJN common stock exchange offer

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) and Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (NYSE: MJN) today announced that Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) has amended and extended its offer to exchange up to 170.0 million shares of common stock of Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (“MJN”) for outstanding shares of BMS common stock that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at an exchange ratio determined by a formula described in a registration statement filed by MJN on Form S-4 (Reg No. 333-163126).

BMS is amending the offer by:

• Increasing the upper limit on the exchange ratio to 0.6313 shares of MJN common stock per share of BMS common stock from 0.6027 shares of MJN common stock per share of BMS common stock; however, the final exchange ratio may be less than the upper limit;
• Extending the exchange offer’s expiration to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on December 17, 2009, unless extended or terminated, from December 14, 2009; and
• Amending the current expected three-day period over which the final exchange ratio will be determined to December 11, 14 and 15, 2009 (which previously was expected to be December 8, 9 and 10, 2009).

The final exchange ratio will be announced by press release by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the expiration date. BMS and MJN currently expect to issue that press release by December 16, 2009, unless the exchange offer is extended or terminated.

As of December 3, 2009, approximately 1,055,000 shares of BMS common stock have been tendered.
