Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Zeus Acquisition Corporation, a Washington corporation ("Purchaser"), is wholly-owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ("Parent").
( 2)  On September 7, 2010, ZymoGenetics, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Parent and Purchaser. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Purchaser has commenced a cash tender offer to acquire all of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "Offer") for a purchase price of $9.75 per share in cash (the "Offer Price"). This report is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of the Issuer. Parent and Purchaser have filed a tender offer statement with the SEC, and have mailed or will mail an offer to purchase, forms of letter of transmittal and related documents to Issuer shareholders. The Issuer has filed with the SEC, and has mailed or will mail to Issuer shareholders, a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9. (Continued on Footnote 3).
( 3)  These documents contain important information about the tender offer and shareholders of the Issuer are urged to read them carefully and in their entirety. These documents contain important information about the tender offer and Issuer shareholders are urged to read them carefully and in their entirety when they become available. These documents will be available at no charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The tender offer statement and the related materials may be obtained for free by directing a request by mail to Georgeson Inc., 199 Water Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10038 or by calling toll-free (800) 509-1078. In addition, a copy of the offer to purchase, letter or transmittal and certain other related tender offer documents (once they become available) may also be obtained free of charge from Parent by directing a request to: Public Affairs, Telephone No.: (609) 252-6579; E-Mail: jennifer.mauer@bms.com.
( 4)  Purchaser and Parent may be deemed to have shared voting power of 36.4% of the outstanding Issuer common stock pursuant to certain Tender and Support Agreements, dated September 7, 2010, by and among Purchaser, Parent and certain shareholders (the "Shareholders") of Issuer. See the Schedule 13D filed by Parent on September 15, 2010. Parent and Purchaser expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of common stock of ZymoGenetics, Inc. covered by the Tender and Support Agreements. Neither Parent nor Purchaser has any pecuniary interest in the shares held by the Shareholders and each expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares covered by the Tender and Support Agreements.
