the first quarter, we made significant progress with our highly promising immunology and inflammation pipeline,&rdquo; said Howard W.

and in our Phase 2b study in patients with alopecia areata. Enrollment for both studies is on-track, and we expect to report topline
data from these trials in the first half of 2025. Building out our Treg pipeline, our novel bivalent antibody targeting the TNFR2 receptor

Operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2023 included a one-time $76.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Operating
costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2024 further decreased as compared to 2023 due to decreases in restructuring, impairment

expense in the first quarter of 2024 was $27.4 million as compared to $30.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. R&amp;D expense for

Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments that address the underlying immunological dysfunction
in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. Nektar&rsquo;s lead product candidate, rezpegaldesleukin (REZPEG, or NKTR-358), is a
novel, first-in-class regulatory T cell stimulator being evaluated in two Phase 2b clinical trials, one in atopic dermatitis and one
in alopecia areata. Our pipeline also includes a preclinical candidate NKTR-0165, which is a bivalent tumor necrosis factor receptor
type II agonist antibody. Nektar, together with various partners, is also evaluating NKTR-255, an investigational IL-15 receptor agonist
designed to boost the immune system&rsquo;s natural ability to fight cancer, in several ongoing clinical trials. Nektar is headquartered
in San Francisco, California. For further information, visit www.nektar.com and follow us on LinkedIn.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">This
press release contains forward-looking statements which can be identified by words such as: &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;develop,&rdquo;
&ldquo;potential,&rdquo; &ldquo;advance,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking
statements include, among others, statements regarding the therapeutic potential of, and future development plans for, rezpegaldesleukin
and NKTR-0165. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based
only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, anticipated
events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they 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. Therefore, you should not rely on any
of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated
in the forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) our statements regarding the therapeutic potential of rezpegaldesleukin
and NKTR-0165 are based on preclinical and clinical findings and observations and are subject to change as research and development continue;
(ii) rezpegaldesleukin and NKTR-0165 are investigational agents and continued research and development for these drug candidates is subject
to substantial risks, including negative safety and efficacy findings in future clinical studies (notwithstanding positive findings in
earlier preclinical and clinical studies); (iii) rezpegaldesleukin is in clinical development and NTKR-0165 is in preclinical development,
and the risk of failure is high and can unexpectedly occur at any stage prior to regulatory approval; (iv) the timing of the commencement
or end of clinical trials and the availability of clinical data may be delayed or unsuccessful due to challenges caused by health epidemics,
including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory delays, slower than anticipated patient enrollment, manufacturing challenges, changing
standards of care, evolving regulatory requirements, clinical trial design, clinical outcomes, competitive factors, or delay or failure
in ultimately obtaining regulatory approval in one or more important markets; (v) we may not achieve the expected cost savings we expect
from our 2022 corporate restructuring and reorganization plan or our 2023 cost restructuring plan and we may undertake additional restructuring
and cost-saving activities in the future, (vi) 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 (vii) certain
other important risks and uncertainties set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 5, 2024. 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, whether written
or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.</FONT></P>
