    We were incorporated in 1901 in Indiana to succeed to the drug
    manufacturing business founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1876
    by Colonel Eli Lilly. We discover, develop, manufacture and sell
    products in one significant business segment&#160;&#151;
    pharmaceutical products. Operations of our animal health
    business segment are not material to our financial statements.
    We manufacture and distribute our products through owned or

    Most of the products we sell today were discovered or developed
    by our own scientists, and our success depends to a great extent
    on our ability to continue to discover and develop innovative
    new pharmaceutical products. We direct our research efforts
    primarily toward the search for products to prevent and treat
    human diseases. We also conduct research to find products to
    treat diseases in animals and to increase the efficiency of
    animal food production.

    The Euroclear System was created in 1968 to hold securities for
    participants of the Euroclear System and to clear and settle
    transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous
    electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thus eliminating
    the need for physical movement of certificates and risk from
    lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash.
    Transactions may now be settled in many currencies, including
    United States dollars and Japanese yen. The Euroclear System
    provides various other services, including securities lending
    and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several

    (the &#147;Euroclear Operator&#148;), under contract with

    means a beneficial owner of a note, other than an entity treated
    as a partnership for U.S.&#160;federal income tax purposes, that
    is not a U.S.&#160;Holder. This discussion does not specifically
    address the tax consequences to
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Non-U.S.&#160;Holders</FONT>
    that are or would be subject to U.S.&#160;federal income tax on
    a net basis on income realized with respect to a note because
    such income is effectively connected with the conduct of a
    U.S.&#160;trade or business. In addition, this discussion does
    not include any description of the tax laws of any state, local
    or foreign government that may be applicable to a particular
    beneficial owner.

    It is expected and the following discussion assumes that the
    notes will be issued without original issue discount for
    U.S.&#160;federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, interest on
    a note generally will be taxable to a U.S.&#160;Holder as
    ordinary income at the time it accrues or is actually or
    constructively received in accordance with the
    U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s method of accounting for
    U.S.&#160;federal income tax purposes. Upon the sale, exchange,
    redemption, retirement at maturity or other taxable disposition
    of a note, a U.S.&#160;Holder generally will recognize taxable
    gain or loss equal to the difference between (1)&#160;the sum of
    cash and the fair market value of other property received on
    such disposition, except to the extent such cash or property is
    attributable to accrued but unpaid interest not previously
    included in income, which will be taxable as ordinary interest
    income, and (2)&#160;such U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s adjusted tax
    basis in the note. Such gain or loss generally will be capital
    gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the
    note were held for more than one year on the date of such sale,
    exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition. Long-term
    capital gains of noncorporate taxpayers generally are taxed at a
    lower maximum marginal tax rate than that applicable to ordinary
    income. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
    limitations.

    Non-corporate U.S.&#160;Holders generally will be required to
    supply a social security number or other taxpayer identification
    number along with certain certifications under penalties of
    perjury in order to avoid backup withholding with respect to
    interest paid on a note and the proceeds of a sale or other
    disposition of a note. In addition, such payments generally will
    be subject to information reporting. The amount of any backup
    withholding from a payment to a U.S.&#160;Holder will be allowed
    as a credit against such U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s federal income
    tax liability and may entitle such U.S.&#160;Holder to a refund,

    We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against
    payment therefor on or about the closing date specified on the
    cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the
    fifth business day following the date of this prospectus
    supplement (this settlement cycle being referred to as
    &#147;T+5&#148;). Under Rule&#160;15c6-1 of the SEC under the
    Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the
    secondary market generally are required to settle in three
    business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly
    agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes
    on the date of this prospectus supplement or the next succeeding
    business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the
    notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate
    settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a
    failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes
    on the date hereof or the next succeeding business day should
    consult their own advisor.

    In connection with the offering, Credit Suisse (USA) LLC,
    Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P.&#160;Morgan Securities
    Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell notes
    in the open market. These transactions may include
    over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing
    transactions. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales of notes
    in excess of the principal amount of notes to be purchased by
    the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate
    short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve
    purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution
    has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
    Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of
    notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline
    in the market price of the notes while the offering is in
    progress.

    The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids
    permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a
    syndicate member when Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC,
    Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.,
    in covering syndicate short positions or making stabilizing
    purchases, repurchase notes originally sold by that syndicate
    member.

    Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or
    retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may
    also cause the price of the notes to be higher than the price
    that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of
    these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these
    transactions in the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT>

    We were incorporated in 1901 in Indiana to succeed to the drug
    manufacturing business founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1876
    by Colonel Eli Lilly. We discover, develop, manufacture and sell
    products in one significant business segment&#160;&#151;
    pharmaceutical products. Operations of our animal health
    business segment are not material to our financial statements.
    We manufacture and distribute our products through owned or
    leased facilities in the United States, Puerto Rico and 25 other
    countries. Our products are sold in approximately 140 countries.

    Most of the products we sell today were discovered or developed
    by our own scientists, and our success depends to a great extent
    on our ability to continue to discover and develop innovative
    new pharmaceutical products. We direct our research efforts
    primarily toward the search for products to prevent and treat
    human diseases. We also conduct research to find products to
    treat diseases in animals and to increase the efficiency of
    animal food production.

    Some of the information included and incorporated by reference
    in this prospectus and other written and oral statements made
    from time to time by us contain &#147;forward-looking
    statements&#148; as defined by the Private Securities Litigation
    Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, among
    other things, discussions concerning our potential exposure to
    market risks, as well as statements expressing our expectations,
    beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions about
    the future. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the
    use of words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148;
    &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148;

    expressions. Forward-looking statements are only predictions.
    Our forward-looking statements generally relate to our
    strategies, financial results, product development and
    regulatory approval programs, and sales efforts. You should
    carefully consider forward-looking statements and understand
    that actual events or results may differ materially as a result
    of a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and
    other factors facing our company. It is not possible to foresee
    or identify all factors affecting our forward-looking
    statements; therefore, investors should not consider any list of
    factors affecting our forward-looking statements to be an
    exhaustive statement of all risks or uncertainties.

    In order to facilitate the offering of the debt securities, any
    underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain
    or otherwise affect the price of these debt securities or any
    other debt securities the prices of which may be used to
    determine payments on these debt securities. Specifically, any
    underwriter may over-allot in connection with the offering,
    creating a short position in the debt securities for their own
    accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize
    the price of the debt securities or of any other debt
    securities, any underwriter may bid for, and purchase, the debt
    securities or any other debt securities in the open market.
    Finally, in any offering of the debt securities through a
    syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may
    reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a
    dealer for distributing the debt securities in the offering, if
    the syndicate repurchases previously distributed debt securities
    in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
    stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities
    may stabilize or maintain the market price of the debt
    securities above independent market levels. The underwriters are
    not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of
    these activities at any time.
