EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form F-10 (No. 333-175381) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by YM BioSciences Inc. (the “Registrant”) on July 6, 2011, as amended by pre-effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on July 14, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”), pertaining to the registration of offers and sales by the Registrant of a maximum aggregate offering amount of U.S.$125,000,000, consisting of common shares, without nominal or par value (“Common Shares”) (the “Securities”).

On February 9, 2013, Gilead Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Gilead”) completed its acquisition of the Registrant pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2012, among Gilead, 3268218 Nova Scotia Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Nova Scotia and wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead, and the Registrant.

As a result of the consummation of the acquisition, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration all of the Securities previously registered by the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the effective time of the acquisition.
