Statement"), filed by American Home Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Parent" or "Reporting Person"), and on behalf of AC Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated November 2, 1995
("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2, dated November 3, 1995 ("Amendment No.
2"), Amendment No. 3, dated November 15, 1995 ("Amendment No. 3"), Amendment No.
4, dated April 23, 1999 ("Amendment No. 4"), Amendment No. 5, dated May 20, 1999
("Amendment No. 5"), Amendment No. 6, dated August 6, 1999 ("Amendment No. 6"),
Amendment No. 7, dated June 23, 2000 ("Amendment No. 7") and Amendment No. 8,
dated August 9, 2000 ("Amendment No. 8") is hereby further amended by this
Amendment No. 9, dated October 20, 2000 ("Amendment No. 9") to reflect certain
changes in the information previously filed relating to the outstanding Common
Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Immunex Corporation, a Washington
corporation ("Immunex" or "Issuer"), which has its principal executive offices
at 51 University Street, Seattle, WA 98101.

NOTE: The percentage ownership calculations above used 503,686,206 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2000, as certified by Immunex in
the most recent quarterly notice to Parent as required under the Governance
Agreement.

     Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following language:

     On October 19, 2000, Immunex filed a prospectus supplement to commence an
underwritten public equity offering (the "Offering") of 60 million shares of
Common Stock under the S-3 shelf registration statement filed on August 9, 2000
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Offering will include 20
million shares of newly issued Common Stock in a primary offering and 40 million
shares of Common Stock in a secondary offering by Parent, with Parent granting
the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 9 million shares of
Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.

Dated: October 20, 2000
