George,
The AMGN stock you receive for your IMNX stock is tax-free, the $4.50 cash is not (the cash is treated as a sale, therefore taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain).
The tax rule is that a stock-for-stock merger can be done tax-free, and that rule applies to the stock portion even if some cash is part of the purchase price (I believe, up to 20% cash).
