DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), filed by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a AstraZeneca Rare Disease Holdings Inc., f/k/a Delta Omega Sub Holdings Inc.) (the “Registrant”) and successor in interest to Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relates to the following registration statements on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statements”) of the Company, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

On December 12, 2020, AstraZeneca PLC (“AstraZeneca”), the Registrant, the Company, Delta Omega Sub Holdings Inc. 1, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Merger Sub I”) and Alexion Rare Disease LLC (f/k/a Delta Omega Sub Holdings LLC 2), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Merger Sub II”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provided for the acquisition of the Company by AstraZeneca. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on July 21, 2021 (1) Merger Sub I merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”) with the Company surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and (2) immediately following the effective time of the First Merger, the Company merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger”) with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca. Effective on July 22, 2021, Merger Sub II merged with and into the Registrant, at which point the Registrant’s name was changed from AstraZeneca Rare Disease Holdings Inc. to Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (such merger, together with the First Merger and the Second Merger, the “Mergers”).

As a result of the Mergers, any offering pursuant to the Registration Statements has been terminated and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under each Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration the securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 478 thereunder, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statements and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statements to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Wilmington, State of Delaware, the 22^nd day of July, 2021.
