Explanation of Responses:
(1)	The Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. 2009 Director Incentive Program, as amended (the Director Program), under the Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and vest immediately. Vested RSUs are paid in shares of the Company's common stock on a one-to-one basis. Vested RSUs may be deferred by the director, in which case, payment will occur according to the deferral schedule.
(2)	These shares include 294 Dividend Equivalents (DEs) granted pursuant to the Director Program and subject to a qualifying dividend reinvestment plan. DEs are credited on the director's vested but deferred RSUs and are paid out in shares of the Company's common stock on a one-to-one basis along with a cash payment for any remaining fractional share amount.
