Gilead's Vistide gets EU marketing authorization.

This authorization allows the product to be marketed in all 15 countries of the European Union. Pharmacia & Upjohn has exclusive marketing rights outside the U.S.

Approval triggers a $10 million milestone payment from P&U and commits P&U to purchase $40 million of Gilead Series B Preferred Stock. This stock is convertable into one share of GILD common at $35.28 or a 45% premium over the average closing price for the 30 days prior to the announcement of EU authorization.

These two events will raise GILD's cash position to $340 million.
