in Nektar&rsquo;s Form 10-Q filed on August 9, 2017, Nektar Therapeutics, a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;Nektar&rdquo;), filed
a request for re-examination of the negative opinion adopted by the European Medicines Agency&rsquo;s Committee for Medicinal Products
for Human Use (&ldquo;CHMP&rdquo;) for the conditional marketing authorization application for ONZEALD&trade; in the European Union
(the &ldquo;CHMP Appeal&rdquo;). We noted that if we were not successful with the CHMP Appeal, and Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH (&ldquo;Daiichi&rdquo;)
exercised its right to terminate the Collaboration Agreement and License Agreement (&ldquo;Collaboration Agreement&rdquo;) between
Nektar and Daiichi, under the terms of the original Collaboration Agreement, we would be obligated to pay to Daiichi a $12.5 million
termination payment. On December 6, 2017, Nektar received notice of termination from Daiichi of the Collaboration Agreement which
will become effective as of February 4, 2018. As a result of this termination, Nektar will pay to Daiichi a $12.5 million termination
payment and all rights and licenses granted to Daiichi under the Collaboration Agreement will revert exclusively to Nektar. This
payment does not change Nektar&rsquo;s 2017 financial guidance, which was provided in the financial results call conducted on November
7, 2017. Please refer to Nektar's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2016,
for a full description of the Collaboration Agreement.</P>
