EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-174863) (the “Prior Registration Statement”) of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron,” the “Company” or the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 13, 2011. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister certain shares of Regeneron common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), previously registered pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement.

PARTIAL DEREGISTRATION AND REALLOCATION OF SHARES

The Company previously filed the Prior Registration Statement to register shares issuable under the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”). At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on June 13, 2014 (the “Approval Date”), the Company’s shareholders approved the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan, 4,456,631 shares (the “Rollover Shares”) of Common Stock have been rolled over into the 2014 Plan from the 2000 Plan; 28,702 shares of Common Stock (the “Returned Shares”) underlying previously granted awards under the 2000 Plan, and subsequently returned to the 2000 Plan in accordance with its terms, have been rolled over into the 2014 Plan from the 2000 Plan; and up to an additional 20,560,315 shares of Common Stock (the “Carryover Shares”) subject to outstanding awards under the 2000 Plan as of the date immediately preceding the Approval Date that (A) remain unissued upon the cancellation, surrender, exchange or termination of any such award for any reason whatsoever or are forfeited, (B) are delivered (or deliverable) pursuant to an exercise of an option to purchase Common Stock and received (or retained) by the Company (whether by actual delivery or attestation) in payment of the option exercise price or (C) are received (or retained) by the Company (whether by actual delivery, attestation or otherwise) in connection with the exercise, vesting or delivery of such award granted under the 2000 Plan in respect of tax withholding or other similar tax obligation will become issuable under the 2014 Plan. The Rollover Shares, the Returned Shares and the Carryover Shares are collectively referred to in this Post-Effective Amendment as the “Reallocated Shares.”

No additional awards may be made under the 2000 Plan and new awards may only be made under the 2014 Plan. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company is filing a new Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “New Registration Statement”) to register the Rollover Shares, the Returned Shares and, when they become eligible for issuance as described above, the Carryover Shares. In accordance with Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8 and the principles set forth in Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Commission Division of Corporate Finance (July 1997), this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to (i) deregister the Rollover Shares and the Returned Shares, effective upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, and the Carryover Shares, effective automatically upon and to the extent of the Carryover Shares becoming eligible for issuance under the 2000 Plan pursuant to the terms thereof and the applicable award agreements, and (ii) reflect the reallocation and carrying forward of the Reallocated Shares, effective upon the deregistration thereof, together with the associated registration fees previously paid in respect of the registration of the Reallocated Shares pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement, from the Prior Registration Statement to the New Registration Statement.

The Prior Registration Statement will remain in effect to cover the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the awards granted under the 2000 Plan to which the Carryover Shares are subject until such time as, and to the extent that, the Carryover Shares become available for issuance under the 2000 Plan and, as described above, will become issuable under the 2014 Plan and will automatically be deregistered from the Prior Registration Statement and reallocated and carried forward to the New Registration Statement.
