Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2006, MedImmune Inc. (the “Company”) sold $575 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and $575 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes” and, collectively with the 2011 notes, the “Notes”), through offerings to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which included the exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2011 Notes and up to an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2013 Notes, in each case solely to cover over-allotments. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $1.129 billion.

The Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable in certain circumstances upon the conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Company offered and sold the Notes to initial purchaser in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The initial purchasers then sold the Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The 2011 Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of June 28, 2006 (the “2011 Indenture”), between the Company and Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). A copy of the 2011 Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, is incorporated herein by reference, and is hereby filed; the descriptions of the 2011 Indenture and the 2011 Notes in this report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture and Notes, respectively. The 2013 Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of June 28, 2006 (the “2013 Indenture”), between the Company and Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). A copy of the 2013 Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, is incorporated herein by reference, and is hereby filed; the descriptions of the 2013 Indenture and the 2013 Notes in this report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by such description.

The initial purchasers and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking, commercial banking, corporate trust, financial advisory services and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company. They have received customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

The Notes will be convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 29.9679 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in the case of the 2011 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $33.37 per share), or based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 29.9679 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes in the case of the 2013 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $33.37 per share), only in the following circumstances

2




and to the following extent: (1) the Notes will be convertible during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2006, if the closing sale price of our common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) the Notes will be convertible during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (we refer to this five consecutive trading day period as the ‘‘note measurement period’’) in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes was equal to or less than 97% of the average conversion value of the Notes during the note measurement period; (3) the Notes will be convertible if we make certain distributions on our common stock or engage in certain transactions; and (4) the Notes will be convertible at any time from, and including, June 15, 2011 to, and including, the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2011 (in the case of the 2011 Notes) and at any time from, and including, June 15, 2013 to, and including, the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2013 (in the case of the 2013 Notes).

The Company will pay 1.375% interest per annum on the principal amount of the 2011 Notes and 1.625% interest per annum on the principal amount of the 2013 Notes, in each case payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, starting on January 15, 2007, to holders of record at the close of business on the preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively.

If a fundamental change, as defined in the applicable indenture, occurs, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness and all existing and future liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables.

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of June 28, 2006, with the initial purchasers (the Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to cause the filing of a shelf registration statement for resale of the Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act by the 180th day after the date on which we first issue the Notes. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3, is incorporated herein by reference, and hereby filed; the description of the Registration Rights Agreement in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

In connection with the offering of the notes, the Company has entered into convertible note hedge transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the notes. The Company has used a portion of the net proceeds of this offering and of the warrants that it has sold to one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge that the Company has purchased from the same counterparties.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

If a fundamental change, as defined in the applicable indenture, occurs, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
