to the same period in 2018 primarily because of expenses for our pipeline programs, including the continued development of bempegaldesleukin
in Phase 2 and registrational studies and related manufacturing costs, costs related to Phase 1 clinical studies of NKTR-358 and

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><I>This press release contains uncertain or forward-looking statements
which can be identified by words such as: &ldquo;advance,&rdquo; &ldquo;planned,&rdquo; &ldquo;preparing,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo;
&ldquo;continue,&rdquo; &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will&rdquo; and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements
include, among others, statements we make regarding the potential therapeutic benefits of and future development plans for our
investigational products [including bempegaldesleukin (&ldquo;bempeg&rdquo;), NKTR-181, NKTR-358, NKTR-262 and NKTR-255], the timing
of a potential launch for NKTR-181, and the results of clinical trials. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts
nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions and are
subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside
of our control. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements and you should
not rely on such statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in
the forward-looking statements include: (i) the timing of the commencement or end of clinical studies and the availability of clinical
data may be delayed or unsuccessful due to regulatory delays, slower than anticipated patient enrollment, manufacturing challenges,
changing standards of care, evolving regulatory requirements, clinical trial design, clinical outcomes, and enrollment competition;
(ii) the timing and probability of regulatory approval, if any, for NKTR-181 is uncertain and difficult to predict; (iii) scientific
discovery of new medical breakthroughs is an inherently uncertain process and the future success of applying our technology platform
to drug candidates [such as bempegaldesleukin (&ldquo;bempeg&rdquo;), NKTR-262, NKTR-358, and NKTR-255] is therefore highly uncertain
and unpredictable and one or more of these programs may fail; (iv) patents may not issue from our patent applications for our drug
candidates, patents that have issued may not be enforceable, or additional intellectual property licenses from third parties may
be required; and (v) certain other important risks and uncertainties set forth in Nektar&rsquo;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2019. Any forward-looking statement made
by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is
made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.</I></P>
