December&nbsp;31, 2008, Nektar Therapeutics, a Delaware corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), completed the sale and
transfer of the Company&rsquo;s pulmonary technology rights, certain pulmonary collaboration agreements and approximately 140
of the Company&rsquo;s pulmonary personnel and operations to Novartis Pharma AG. In connection with this 2008 divestiture,
the Company retained its rights under a 2007 agreement with Bayer Healthcare LLC (&ldquo;Bayer&rdquo;) for Amikacin Inhale
for the aerosolized treatment of gram negative pneumonias.&nbsp; Under the 2007 agreement, Bayer had sole responsibility for
designing and conducting the Phase 3 clinical program for Amikacin Inhale and Nektar had responsibility for manufacturing and
supplying pulmonary devices to Bayer through third party contract manufacturing organizations (&ldquo;CMOs&rdquo;).&nbsp; On
November 24, 2017, Bayer announced that the Phase 3 Amikacin Inhale clinical program did not meet its primary endpoint or key
secondary endpoints. &nbsp;Based on discussion with Bayer, the Company does not expect Bayer to move forward any further with
the Amikacin Inhale program and the Company does not expect to have any future performance obligations under the 2007
agreement. &nbsp;The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $3 to $4 million of wind-down costs associated with
concluding the Company&rsquo;s activities and commitments to the CMOs. </FONT>As a result of ceasing this program, the
Company will not incur approximately $25 to $30 million in commercial manufacturing scale-up and readiness costs over the
next 12-18 months to meet the Company&rsquo;s obligations under the 2007 agreement.</P>
