EXPLANATORY NOTE

bluebird bio, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as an exhibit-only filing solely to re-file Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to include a portion of the text required in paragraph 4 of the Section 302 certifications (specifically, subparagraph 4(b) and a portion of the introductory language of paragraph 4), which was inadvertently omitted from the Section 302 certifications included with the original Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2015. This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q and, other than the re-filing of the referenced certifications, does not modify or update the disclosures in the original Form 10-Q in any way.
