IDEC PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
REGISTRATION STATEMENTS ON FORM S-8
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to certain
Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 33-45172, 33-60224, 33-77580,
33-90738, 33-93794 and 333-06543) (the "Registration Statements") is being
filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act") by IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("IDEC
Delaware" or the "Registrant"), which is the successor to IDEC Pharmaceuticals
Corporation, a California corporation ("IDEC California"), following a
statutory merger effective on June 2, 1997 (the "Merger") for the purpose of
changing IDEC California's state of incorporation to the State of Delaware.
Prior to the Merger, IDEC Delaware had no assets or liabilities other than
nominal assets or liabilities. In connection with the Merger, IDEC Delaware
succeeded by operation of law to all of the assets and liabilities of IDEC
California. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of IDEC California at a
meeting for which proxies were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Except as modified by this Amendment, IDEC Delaware, by virtue of this
Amendment, expressly adopts the Registration Statements as its own registration
statements for all purposes of the 1933 Act and the Exchange Act.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Amendment to
the Registration Statements the following documents and information heretofore
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996, filed with the SEC on March 31, 1997
pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act;
(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, filed with the SEC on May 15, 1997 pursuant
to Section 13 of the Exchange Act; and
(c) The description of Registrant's Common Stock contained in
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-B filed with the
SEC on June 2, 1997, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange
Act.
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date
of this Amendment to the Registration Statements and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Amendment to the Registration
Statements and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Amendment to the Registration Statements to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of
directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides
that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability
(i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its
directors and may indemnify its other officers and employees and other agents to
the fullest extent permitted by law. The Registrant believes that
indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence
on the part of indemnified parties. The Registrant's Bylaws also permit it to
secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for
any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of
whether the Bylaws have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under the General Corporation law of Delaware. The Registrant currently has
secured such insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
II-1
<PAGE> 4
The Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors
and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the
Registrant's Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Registrant's directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such
person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of
the Registrant, arising out of such person's services as a director or executive
officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company
or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the
Registrant. The Registrant believes that these provisions and agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive
officers.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant where indemnification
will be required or permitted. The Registrant is not aware of any threatened
litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof and (3) to remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Registrant's
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 1988 Stock Option Plan, 1993 Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan, Amended and Restated 1988 Stock Option Plan, 1995
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and/or Special Stock Issuance Plan.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration
II-2
<PAGE> 5
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
