#####

Options Exchange Program This presentation summarizes key features of the Options Exchange Program applicable to eligible employees. A complete description of the program is contained in the Offer to Exchange and the related documents that were sent to you on December 3rd. Please take the time to read the Offer to Exchange and the related documents, including the Election Form.

#####

Options Exchange Program We have sent to eligible employees written materials, including an Offer to Exchange, describing in detail the terms, conditions and expected timing of, and procedures for participating in, the Options Exchange Program, and have filed those materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (which can be accessed through its website at www.sec.gov). The Offer is subject to various conditions, including shareholder approval, described in the Offer to Exchange. You should read those materials carefully before deciding whether to tender your eligible options in the Offer to Exchange, because they contain important information about the Offer to Exchange. You should only rely on the information in the Offer to Exchange. Neither Regeneron nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation as to whether you should tender some or all of your eligible options for exchange, nor has Regeneron authorized any person to make any representations or any such recommendation. You must make your own decision whether or not to tender your eligible options. You may direct questions about the Offer to Exchange to our Human Resources Department, by phone at (914) 345 STOK or to our internal e-mail address: OptionsExchange@regeneron.com.

Options Exchange Program Overview Description How It Works Examples How to Participate Considerations Key Dates Questions

#####

Options Exchange Program Description Why is Regeneron Offering an Options Exchange Program? All Regeneron employees have stock options. Stock options are intended to motivate and retain employees. Stock options help align the interests of shareholders and employees. The decline in Regeneron's stock price has reduced the incentive value of outstanding stock options. We believe the Options Exchange Program is a way to revitalize the Stock Option Program. Eligible employees can exchange certain options with high exercise prices for a smaller number of replacement options with an exercise price equal to Regeneron's stock price when the replacement options are granted (expected to be on or about January 5, 2005).

#####

Options Exchange Program Break Even Analysis This slide is for illustrative purposes only and assumes a market price of $9 per share on the Grant Date. Break Even Point: Regeneron share price at which the aggregate spread of old options equals the aggregate spread of replacement options (assumes both existing and replacement options are fully vested). Remember that replacement options will be unvested on grant -- even if the existing tendered options are fully vested. You need to assess your expectations for Regeneron's stock price, the time you plan to hold options, the new vesting schedule for the replacement options and other relevant factors before making a decision to tender options. Consult with your own financial planner or tax advisor to determine what is best for you.

Options Exchange Program Considerations You can select which eligible options to exchange -- all, some, or none. However, each particular grant must be exchanged in its entirety or not at all. For Example: An employee received the following option grants: December 18, 2001 for 1,000 shares at $28.01/share December 20, 2002 for 500 shares at $19.43/share This employee may choose to exchange the 1,000 options received on December 18, 2001 (he/she must exchange all 1,000 options, if they remain outstanding), but may decline to exchange the 500 options received on December 20, 2002. This employee may NOT choose to exchange only a portion of either grant.

#####

Options Exchange Program Considerations You may withdraw options you previously tendered for exchange at any time up until the Offer expires on January 5, 2005.
