Dear Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Shareholders and Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Stockholders:

The boards of directors of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have agreed on the reorganizations of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix into a newly formed holding company, Insmed Incorporated. Because of the reorganizations, Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Insmed Incorporated. We are convinced that this transaction will enable the combined company to achieve its strategic goals and enhance its market position as a drug development company more quickly than either Insmed Pharmaceuticals or Celtrix could have achieved on their own.

The reorganizations provide for:

. a tax-free merger in which Celtrix common stockholders will receive one share of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each share of Celtrix common stock and Celtrix preferred stockholders will receive approximately ______ shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each share of Celtrix preferred stock held, and

. a tax-free share exchange in which Insmed Pharmaceuticals common and preferred shareholders will receive 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each Insmed Pharmaceuticals share held.

Insmed Incorporated applied to list its common stock on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol "INSM."

We cannot complete the reorganizations unless the stockholders of both of our companies adopt the reorganization agreement. Each of us will hold a meeting of our stockholders to vote on this reorganization proposal. Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend your stockholders' meeting, please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card to us in accordance with the instructions on the proxy form. If you sign, date and mail your proxy card without indicating how you want to vote, we will count your proxy as a vote in favor of the reorganization agreement. Not returning your card or not instructing your broker how to vote any shares held for you in "street name," will have the same effect as a vote against the reorganizations.

The dates, times and places of the meetings are as follows:

For Insmed Pharmaceuticals Shareholders:      For Celtrix Stockholders:
 ________, 2000, 1:00 p.m., local time    ________, 2000, 10:00 a.m., local time
         800 East Leigh Street               2033 Gateway Place, Suite 600
       Richmond, Virginia 23219              San Jose, California 95110

This document provides you with detailed information about these meetings and the proposed reorganizations. You can also get information about Celtrix from publicly available documents that Celtrix has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or about Insmed Pharmaceuticals directly from Insmed Pharmaceuticals c/o Michael D. Baer, Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 800 East Leigh Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219 (804) 828-6893.


We encourage you to read this entire document carefully and thoughtfully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors" on pages ___ through ___.


We strongly support this combination of our companies and join with all the other members of our boards of directors in enthusiastically recommending that you vote in favor of the reorganizations.

   and Chief Executive Officer            and Chief Executive Officer
  Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.           Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

EACH VOTE IS IMPORTANT.
PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN YOUR PROXY.


Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved this document or the securities to be issued in the reorganizations or determined if this document is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This joint proxy statement/prospectus is dated March ____, 2000 and we will first mail it on or about ___________ ____, 2000

    Risks Related to Insmed Incorporated....................................................................22

-i-

Because our products are in an early stage of development, none has received regulatory

    assurances that we will succeed in commercializing our products.....................................22
Since we have a limited operating history, a history of operating losses and expect to
    generate operating losses for the foreseeable future, we may not achieve profitability
    for some time, if at all............................................................................23
If our proposed financing does not close, our existing cash reserves will only be
    sufficient to fund our activities until September 2000.  If our proposed financing
    does close, however, it will result in significant dilution of your ownership of our
    shares..............................................................................................23
We will need additional funds in the future to continue our operations, but we face
    uncertainties with respect to our access to capital which could adversely impact our
    business, financial condition and results of operations.............................................23
If our products fail in clinical trials or we cannot enroll enough patients to complete our
    clinical trials there may be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
    results of operations...............................................................................24
Our failure to obtain regulatory approvals for our products under development
    may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations....................24
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely

Uncertainty regarding third party reimbursement and healthcare cost containment
    initiatives may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of
    operations..........................................................................................26
We currently have no manufacturing or marketing capability which may make the
    commercialization of our products difficult.........................................................26
Materials necessary to manufacture SomatoKine(TM)may not be available which may
    adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations........................27
We need corporate partners for success..................................................................27
Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of complementary businesses that may not
    be available to acquire or, if acquired, might not improve our business, financial
    condition or results of operations..................................................................28
We intend to conduct proprietary research programs, and any conflicts with our
    collaborators could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations................28
If we fail to make payments required under the license agreement with the University
    of Virginia Patent Foundation, then the license agreement and our rights to the patents
    licensed to us may be terminated which would have an adverse effect on our
    business, financial condition and results of operations.............................................28
We face uncertainties related to patents and proprietary technology which may adversely
    affect our business, financial condition and results of operations..................................29
Third parties may claim that our products infringe on their proprietary rights which may
    adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations........................30
The inability to compete successfully will harm our business, financial condition and
    results of operations...............................................................................30
Rapid technological change could make our products obsolete which could have a
    material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations..............30
We are dependent upon key personnel and others the loss of which could have a material
    adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.......................31
Our products involve the use of hazardous materials which could expose us to damages
    which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
    results of operations...............................................................................31

-ii-

    We are subject to product liability claims that may not be covered by our insurance
        which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
        results of operations...............................................................................31
    Our business may be negatively impacted by computer failures in the Year 2000...........................32
    We expect that our stock price will be volatile.........................................................32
    Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals have never paid dividends on their capital stock and
        we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future............................33
    Certain provisions of Virginia law, our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and
        Restated Bylaws make a takeover by a third party difficult..........................................33

The following table states historical per share data for Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix as well as consolidated per share data on an unaudited pro forma basis after giving effect to the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Incorporated and accounting for that transaction under the purchase method of accounting. The Insmed Incorporated pro forma consolidated data has been computed using the historical Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals data. The table also provides "equivalent pro forma" information for Insmed Pharmaceuticals showing the expected per share data giving effect to the exchange ratio provided for in the reorganization agreement and the financing described under "Recent Developments" on page __, but assuming that Insmed Pharmaceuticals remained as a separate entity and did not become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Incorporated. Celtrix "equivalent pro forma" data was not presented because applying the exchange ratio provided in the reorganization agreement to the historical data would not have produced a different result. No cash dividends were paid by Insmed Pharmaceuticals or Celtrix during any of the periods presented and Insmed Incorporated does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. You should read the table in conjunction with the selected historical financial information and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You should not rely on the pro forma financial information as an indication of the results that Insmed Incorporated would have achieved if the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Incorporated had taken place earlier or as an indication of the results of Insmed Incorporated after the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Incorporated

Insmed Incorporated - Unaudited Selected Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The following Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the reorganization of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix into Insmed Incorporated in accordance with the reorganization agreement. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information we provide you with below gives effect to the purchase of Celtrix and integration of Insmed Pharmaceuticals by and into Insmed Incorporated, assuming that each share of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' stock outstanding is exchanged for 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock and each share of Celtrix common stock is exchanged for 1.0 share of Insmed Incorporated common stock and each share of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock is exchanged for __ shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock. The historical basis of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' assets and liabilities will carry over to Insmed Incorporated because Insmed Pharmaceuticals is considered the acquiror for accounting purposes. The assets and liabilities of Celtrix will be recorded at their estimated fair values. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, combine the historical statements of operations of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix as if the reorganizations had occurred January 1, 1999. The Celtrix financial information has been recast to conform to the December 31 fiscal year end of Insmed Incorporated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 1999 gives effect to the reorganizations and the $34.5 million equity financing described in "Recent Developments" on page _____ as if each occurred on December 31, 1999, and gives effect to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the Celtrix assets acquired, including in-process research and development, and liabilities assumed based upon a valuation preformed by an independent third party which has not yet been finalized. This data should be read in conjunction with the selected historical financial information, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the separate historical financial statements of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the reorganizations been completed at January 1, 1999, and such information should not be construed as representative of future operating results or financial position. Information with regard to the pro forma adjustments are on pages __ to __.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Insmed Incorporated common stock offered by this joint proxy statement/prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Before you decide to invest in the Insmed Incorporated common stock offered by this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing Insmed Incorporated. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Insmed Incorporated or that Insmed Incorporated currently deems immaterial may also impair Insmed Incorporated's business operations.

If any of the following risks actually occur, Insmed Incorporated's business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of Insmed Incorporated's common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Reorganizations

Since the value of the consideration to be received in the reorganizations may fluctuate, we cannot assure Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceutical shareholders of the value of the Insmed Incorporated common stock they will receive in the reorganization.

Celtrix common stock is subject to substantial price volatility and, therefore, the value of the consideration to be received by Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders is subject to the same volatility. At the effective time of the reorganizations, each outstanding share of Celtrix common stock will be converted into one share of Insmed Incorporated common stock, and each outstanding share of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into approximately ____ shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock and each outstanding share of common stock and preferred stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals will be converted into 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock. These exchange ratios will not increase or decrease due to fluctuations in the market price of Celtrix's common stock. Thus, the value of the shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock to be received by Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders in the reorganizations will depend upon the market price of Celtrix common stock at the effective time of the reorganizations, which may be greater or less than the value at the time the Celtrix stockholders vote on the merger and the Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders vote on the share exchange. Recent market prices of Celtrix common stock are listed under the caption "Market Prices and Dividend Information" on page __. We encourage Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders to obtain current market quotations for Celtrix common stock.

The costs of the reorganizations and the costs of integrating the Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals businesses are substantial.

We estimate that it will cost approximately $3.5 million to complete the reorganizations. These costs will consist of transaction fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other costs incurred by Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. There can be no assurance that we will not incur additional charges in excess of these amounts to reflect costs associated with the reorganizations, including the costs of integrating the Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals businesses.

20

Our failure to successfully integrate the companies and transfer Celtrix's operations to Richmond, Virginia may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will need to successfully integrate and streamline overlapping functions of the combined companies, part of which will include moving Celtrix's operations from its current headquarters in San Jose, California to Insmed Incorporated's headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. Our failure to effectively accomplish the integration of Celtrix's and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

It is possible that this move will be neither smooth nor successful. The difficulties of moving may be increased by the necessity of coordinating between Richmond, Virginia and San Jose, California. Moving the operations following the reorganizations requires the dedication of management resources that may temporarily distract attention from the day-to-day business of the combined companies.

Failure to complete the reorganizations could negatively impact Celtrix's stock price and future business and operations.

If Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals do not complete the reorganizations for any reason, Celtrix may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

. Celtrix may be required to pay Insmed Pharmaceuticals a termination fee of $2.5 million which would reduce Celtrix's available cash by approximately 33%. Under those circumstances, Celtrix would be able to fund its operations for approximately the next 12 months;

. the price of Celtrix common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of Celtrix common stock reflects a market assumption that the reorganizations will be completed;

. costs related to the reorganization, such as legal and accounting fees, must be paid even if the reorganizations are not completed; and

. current and prospective Celtrix employees may experience uncertainty about their future role with Celtrix. This may adversely affect Celtrix's ability to attract and retain key management and technical personnel.

Further, if the reorganizations are terminated and Celtrix's board of directors determines to seek another reorganization or business combination, Celtrix may not be able to find a partner willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than that which would be paid in the merger. In addition, while the reorganization agreement is in effect and subject to certain limited exceptions, Celtrix is prohibited from soliciting a reorganization, sale of assets or other business combination, with any party other than Insmed Pharmaceuticals.

Failure to complete the reorganizations could negatively impact Insmed Pharmaceuticals' business, financial condition and results of operations.

If Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals do not complete the reorganizations for any reason, Insmed Pharmaceuticals may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

. Insmed Pharmaceuticals may be required to pay Celtrix a termination fee of $2.5 million which would reduce Insmed Pharmaceuticals' available cash by approximately one-third;

21

. the financing described under "Recent Developments" on page __ would not be completed;

. without the financing and after accounting for the termination fee, Insmed Pharmaceuticals only would be able to fund its operations until September 2000;

. Insmed Pharmaceuticals will remain a private corporation with no public market for the sale of its shares and therefore shareholders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals may be unable to liquidate their investment in Insmed Pharmaceuticals;

. costs related to the reorganizations, such as legal and accounting fees, must be paid even if the reorganizations are not completed; and

. current and prospective Insmed Pharmaceuticals employees may experience uncertainty about their future role with Insmed Pharmaceuticals. This may adversely affect Insmed Pharmaceuticals' ability to attract and retain key management, marketing and technical personnel.

Further, if the share exchange is terminated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' board of directors determines to seek another reorganization or business combination, Insmed Pharmaceuticals may not be able to find a partner willing to combine on terms similar to the share exchange. In addition, while the reorganization agreement is in effect and subject to certain limited exceptions, Insmed Pharmaceuticals is prohibited from soliciting a merger, sale of assets or other business combination, with any party other than Celtrix.

Risks Related to Insmed Incorporated

Because our products are in an early stage of development, none has received regulatory approval or been released for commercial sale and therefore we can give you no assurances that we will succeed in commercializing our products.

Our long-term viability and growth will depend on successful commercialization of products resulting from our research activities. All of our potential products and production technologies are in the research or development stages and we have generated no revenues from product sales. Our potential products will require significant additional development, laboratory and clinical testing and investment before their commercialization. We can give you no assurances that we will be able to identify, develop or produce products with commercial potential or that our products will secure market acceptance. The failure to commercialize our potential products will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the research, development, testing, clinical trials and acquisition of the necessary regulatory approvals with respect to any given product will take many years and thus delay our receipt of revenues, if any, from any such products. In addition, potential products that appear promising at early stages of development may fail for a number of reasons, including, the possibility that the products:

. may be found to be ineffective;

. may cause harmful side effects; or

. may be too expensive to manufacture.

22

Our products may also fail to receive regulatory approval. In addition, our products, even when approved by regulatory authorities, may fail to achieve market acceptance or be precluded from commercialization by the proprietary rights of third parties.

Since we have a limited operating history, a history of operating losses and expect to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future, we may not achieve profitability for some time, if at all.

We are at an early stage of development and we currently have no marketed products. We have incurred losses during our initial years of operations and expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future since all of our resources are devoted to the development and testing of our products. The process of developing our products requires significant pre-clinical testing and clinical trials as well as regulatory approvals. In addition, commercialization of our drug candidates will require the establishment of a sales and marketing organization and contractual relationships to enable product manufacturing and other related activity. These activities, together with our general and administrative expenses, are expected to result in substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 1999, the accumulated deficit for Insmed Pharmaceuticals was $22,780,309 and for Celtrix was $140,928,465, and for the year ended December 31, 1999, the net loss for Insmed Pharmaceuticals was $7,792,684 and for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, the net loss for Celtrix was $10,239,931.

If our proposed financing does not close, our existing cash reserves will only be sufficient to fund our activities until September 2000. If our proposed financing does close, however, it will result in significant dilution of your ownership of our shares.

As discussed in "Recent Developments" on page __, we entered into a purchase agreement with a number of investors which provides for Insmed Pharmaceuticals to issue 5,632,678 shares of its common stock and for Insmed Incorporated to issue warrants to purchase up to 6,901,344 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock at any exercise price of $2.25 per share for an aggregate consideration of $34.5 million. This financing is subject to approval of the share exchange by the shareholders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and the merger by the stockholders of Celtrix, as well as those conditions normal and customary to a stock purchase agreement and no assurance can be given that the financing will actually occur. If we do not complete the proposed financing, our existing cash reserves will be sufficient to fund our activities only until September 2000. If the financing does occur, however, shareholders of Insmed Incorporated at the time of the reorganizations may suffer significant dilution if the value of the Insmed Incorporated common stock is substantially higher at the time of the reorganizations than the price paid by the investors in this financing.

We will need additional funds in the future to continue our operations, but we face uncertainties with respect to our access to capital which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future capital requirements will be substantial in order to continue to conduct the time consuming research and development, clinical studies and regulatory activities necessary to bring our potential therapeutic products to market and to establish production, marketing and sales capabilities. There can be no assurance that our cash reserves together with any funding subsequently received will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements. The failure to satisfy our capital requirements will result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the progress of preclinical testing and clinical trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs involved in filing and prosecuting patent applications and enforcing patent claims and the establishment of strategic alliances and activities

23

required for product commercialization. Including the funds received in connection with the financing discussed in "Recent Developments" on page __, we believe that existing cash reserves, together with proceeds from the proposed financing will be sufficient to fund our activities for more than two years. If the proposed financing is not completed, our existing cash reserves will be sufficient to fund our activities only until September 2000.

We intend to seek additional funding through strategic alliances and may seek funding through private or public sales of our securities or by licensing all or a portion of our technology. Such funding may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders or may limit our rights to the technology we are currently developing. There can be no assurance, however, that additional funding will be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail significantly our product development programs and/or relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

If our products fail in clinical trials or we cannot enroll enough patients to complete our clinical trials there may be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In order to sell our products, we must receive regulatory approval for our products. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any of our products under development, we must demonstrate through preclinical studies and clinical trials that the product is safe and effective for use in each target indication. If any of our products fail in clinical trials, we cannot obtain FDA approval for such products. Therefore, if our products fail in clinical trials there will be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the results from preclinical testing and early clinical trials may not be predictive of results obtained in later clinical trials. There can be no assurance that clinical trials we conduct, by contract research organizations we retain or by corporate partners will demonstrate sufficient safety and effectiveness to obtain regulatory approvals. A number of companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have suffered significant setbacks in late stage clinical trials even after promising results in early stage development.

The rate of completion of our clinical trials is dependent on, among other factors, the rate of patient enrollment. Patient enrollment is a function of many factors, including:

. the size of the patient population;

. the nature of the protocol;

. the proximity of patients to clinical sites; and

. the eligibility criteria for the study.

We believe our planned procedures for enrolling patients are appropriate. However, delays in patient enrollment will result in increased costs and delays, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to obtain regulatory approvals for our products under development may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because our products are in an early stage of development, none has received regulatory approval or been released for commercial sale. The preclinical testing and clinical trials of any compounds we or our collaborative partners develop and the manufacturing and marketing of any drugs

24

produced from such compounds are subject to regulation by numerous federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States, principally the Food and Drug Administration, and by similar agencies in other countries in which drugs developed by us or our collaborative partners may be tested and marketed. No product can receive Food and Drug Administration approval unless it is shown to be safe and effective in human clinical trials. There can be no assurance that clinical testing will provide evidence of safety and effectiveness in humans or that regulatory approvals will be granted for any of our products or even, if granted, that those products can be brought to the market economically.

The regulatory process takes many years and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities are subject to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory agency approval. Delays or rejections also may be encountered based on changes in regulatory agency policies during the period in which a drug is being developed and/or the period required for review of any application for regulatory agency approval of a particular compound. Delays in obtaining regulatory agency approvals could adversely affect the marketing of any drugs we or our collaborative partners develop. Such delays could result in the imposition of costly procedures on our and on our collaborative partners' activities, diminish any competitive advantages that we or our collaborative partners may attain, and adversely affect our ability to receive royalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the FDA grants approval for a drug, however, such approval may include limitations on the indicated uses for which the drug may be marketed and this could limit the potential market for any such drug. Furthermore, if we obtain approval for any of our products, the marketing and manufacture of such products remains subject to extensive regulatory requirements. Even if approval were granted, such approval would be subject to continual review, and later discovery of unknown problems could result in restrictions on the products for future use or their withdrawal from the market. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could, among other things, result in fines, suspension of regulatory approvals, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. In addition, regulatory agency approval of pricing is required in many countries and may be required for the marketing in such countries of any drug we or our collaborative partners develop.

We cannot be certain that we will obtain any regulatory approvals in other countries and the future to obtain such approvals may have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In order to market our products outside of the U.S., we and our corporate partners must comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of other countries regarding safety and quality. The approval procedures vary among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval in other countries might differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. The regulatory approval process in other countries includes all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval detailed above. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by the regulatory authorities of other countries.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected if our products do not receive market acceptance for any reason.

There can be no assurance that any products we successfully develop, if approved for marketing, will achieve market acceptance. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected if our products do not receive market acceptance for any reason. The degree of market acceptance of any products we develop will depend on a number of factors, including:

. the establishment and demonstration in the medical community of the clinical efficacy and safety of our product candidates;

25

. their potential advantage over existing treatment methods; and

. reimbursement policies of government and third-party payers, including insurance companies.

For example, even if we obtain regulatory approval to sell our products, physicians and health care payers could conclude that our products are not safe and effective and not use them to treat patients. Our competitors may also develop new technologies or products which are more effective or less costly, or that are perceived to be more cost-effective than our products. There is no assurance that physicians, patients, third-party payers or the medical community in general will accept and use any products that we may develop.

Uncertainty regarding third party reimbursement and healthcare cost containment initiatives may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we succeed in bringing any of our proposed products to the market, we cannot assure you that they will be considered cost-effective or that third-party reimbursement will be available or sufficient. Our commercial success will depend in part on third-party payers agreeing to reimburse patients for the costs of products. Reimbursement is generally provided by government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payers frequently challenge the pricing of new drugs. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care products. Therefore, third-party payers may not approve our products for reimbursement.

If third-party payers do not approve our products for reimbursement, sales will suffer as some patients will opt for a competing product that is approved for reimbursement. Even if reimbursement is available, payer's reimbursement policies may adversely affect our and our corporate partners' ability to sell such products on a profitable basis.

Moreover, the trend toward managed healthcare in the United States, the growth of organizations such as health maintenance organizations, and legislative proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs could significantly influence the purchase of healthcare services and products, resulting in lower prices and reducing demand for our products which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of pharmaceuticals may change in ways adverse to us before or after any of our proposed products are approved for marketing. While we cannot predict whether any such legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted, the adoption of such proposals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently have no manufacturing or marketing capability which may make the commercialization of our products difficult.

We have no manufacturing experience. Our failure to successfully manufacture and market our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations. We intend to enter strategic alliances with other parties that have established manufacturing and marketing capabilities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter such strategic alliances on terms favorable to us, or at all. As an alternative, we may choose to pursue the commercialization of such products on our own which would require substantial additional funds.

26

If we are permitted to commence commercial sales of products, we will face competition with respect to commercial sales, marketing and distribution, areas in which we have no experience. To market any of our products directly, we must develop a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capability. Alternatively, we may obtain the assistance of a pharmaceutical company with a large distribution system and a large direct sales force. There can be no assurance that we will be able to establish sales and distribution capabilities or be successful in gaining market acceptance for our proprietary products. To the extent we enter co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, any revenues we receive will be dependent on the efforts of third parties and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.

Materials necessary to manufacture SomatoKine(TM) may not be available which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The recombinant proteins which are the components of SomatoKine are made at only a few facilities. We believe we currently have sufficient quantities to conduct two clinical trials. We will need to contract with an outside contractor in order to pursue additional clinical trials. A shutdown in any of these facilities due to technical, regulatory or other problems, resulting in an interruption in supply of these materials, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We need corporate partners for success.

We will rely on a number of significant collaborative relationships with pharmaceutical companies for our manufacturing, research funding, clinical development and/or sales and marketing performance. Reliance on collaborative relationships poses a number of risks, including the following:

. we will not be able to control whether our corporate partners will devote sufficient resources to our programs or products;

. disputes may arise in the future with respect to the ownership of rights to technology developed with corporate partners;

. disagreements with corporate partners could lead to delays in or termination of the research, development or commercialization of product candidates, or results in litigation or arbitration;

. contracts with our corporate partners may fail to provide significant protection or may fail to be effectively enforced if one of these partners fails to perform;

. corporate partners have considerable discretion in electing whether to pursue the development of any additional products and may pursue technologies or products either on their own or in collaboration with our competitors; and

. corporate partners with marketing rights may choose to devote fewer resources to the marketing of our products than they do to products of their own development.

Given these risks, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the success of our current and future collaborative efforts. If these efforts fail, our product development or commercialization of new products could be delayed or revenue from existing products could decline.

27

Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of complementary businesses that may not be available to acquire or, if acquired, might not improve our business, financial condition or results of operations.

As part of our business strategy, we expect to pursue additional acquisitions. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that we will identify suitable acquisitions or that such acquisitions can be made at an acceptable price. If we acquire additional businesses, those businesses may require substantial capital and we cannot assure you that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or that financing will be available in amounts and on terms that we deem acceptable. Furthermore, the integration of acquired businesses may result in unforeseen difficulties that require a disproportionate amount of management's attention and our other resources. Finally, we cannot assure you that we will achieve productive synergies and efficiencies from these acquisitions.

We intend to conduct proprietary research programs, and any conflicts with our collaborators could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

An important part of our strategy involves conducting proprietary research programs. Any conflict with our collaborators could reduce our ability to obtain future collaboration agreements and negatively influence our relationship with existing collaborators, which could reduce our revenues and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may pursue opportunities in fields that could conflict with those of our collaborators. Moreover, disagreements with our collaborators could develop over rights to our intellectual property.

Certain of our collaborators could also become competitors in the future. Our collaborators could:

. develop competing products;

. preclude us from entering into collaborations with their competitors;

. fail to obtain timely regulatory approvals;

. terminate their agreements with us prematurely; or

. fail to devote sufficient resources to the development and commercialization of products.

Any of these developments could harm our product development efforts.

If we fail to make payments required under the license agreement with the University of Virginia Patent Foundation, then the license agreement and our rights to the patents licensed to us may be terminated which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have a license agreement with the University of Virginia Patent Foundation with respect to a number of our patents that obligates us to pay license fees and royalties. We are also required to pay filing and maintenance costs for the patent rights associated with the license agreement and any new patent applications. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, we paid $110,921 and $165,016, respectively, in patent and licensing fees associated with this license. If we fail to make payments required under the license agreement, then the license agreement and our rights to the patents licensed to us may be terminated which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

28

We face uncertainties related to patents and proprietary technology which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to:

. obtain patent protection for our products;

. preserve trade secrets;

. prevent third parties from infringing on our patents; and

. refrain from infringing on the patents of others, both domestically; and internationally.

Our patent positions are highly uncertain, and any patents that may be issued for our potential products will be subject to this uncertainty which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We intend to actively pursue patent protection for products with significant potential commercial value arising in the course of our research and development activities. Nevertheless, it is possible that, in the patent application process, certain claims may be rejected or be so limited as to reduce the value of the patents. Further, there can be no assurance that any patents obtained will afford adequate protection. In addition, any patents procured by us may require that we work with other companies holding related patents. A successful relationship may be difficult to conclude.

We are aware that at least three large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have been issued patents and/or have filed patent applications in the United States and abroad directed at the production of recombinant IGF-I by various methods and its use in various clinical indications. The earliest date of filing of these patent applications is April 25, 1983, but most are much more recent -- within the last five years. Unless and until all such applications issue, it is not possible for us to determine the breadth of our competitors' claims regarding processes for production of IGF-I or for the use of IGF-I for particular indications. Furthermore, a large biotechnology and pharmaceutical company with substantial financial and legal resources has a patent issued in the United States directed towards certain DNA molecules encoding BP3 and the corresponding BP3 protein. This same patent was previously granted in Europe, which Celtrix successfully opposed. However, this large biotechnology and pharmaceutical company has recently appealed the decision in Europe and there can be no assurance that the appeal will not be successful, nor is it possible to determine what, if any, claims will be reinstated or the breadth of such claims. In addition, we expect our competitors to defend their patent positions vigorously.

We have developed a new process for the production of IGF and BP3 that we do not believe infringes other patents relating to recombinant protein production in general or other patents relating to the production of IGF and BP3 in particular, although there can be no assurance that a contrary position will not be asserted by our competitors. A large number of other companies have pending patent applications and/or issued patents that claim certain methods of use of IGF.

It may be necessary for us to undertake costly litigation to enforce any patents issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of another party's proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that our issued or licensed patents would be held to be valid by a court of competent jurisdiction. An adverse outcome in litigation or an interference or other proceeding in a court or patent office could subject us to significant liabilities to other parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from

29

other parties or require us to cease using such technology, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Third parties may claim that our products infringe on their proprietary rights which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that third parties will not claim that our technology for IGF-I and INS-1, current or future products or manufacturing processes infringe their proprietary rights. If other companies were to successfully bring legal actions against us claiming patent or other intellectual property infringements, in addition to any potential liability for damages, we could be required to obtain a license in order to continue to use the affected process or to manufacture or use the affected products, or alternatively, we could be required to cease using such products or process if enjoined by a court. Such a result may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any such claim, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation or might require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, all of which could delay or otherwise adversely impact the development of our potential products for commercial use. If any licenses are required, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain them on commercially favorable terms, if at all, and if such licenses are not obtained, we might be prevented from pursuing the development of certain of our potential products. Our breach of an existing license, our failure to obtain, or our delay in obtaining a license to any technology that we require to commercialize our products may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The inability to compete successfully will harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are engaged in a business characterized by extensive research efforts, rapid developments and intense competition. There can be no assurance that our products will compete successfully or that research and development by others will not render our products obsolete or uneconomical. Our failure to compete effectively would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect that competition will be based, among other things, on product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, timing and scope of regulatory approval and price. The relative speed with which we can develop products, complete the clinical testing and regulatory approval processes and supply commercial quantities of the product to the market are expected to be important competitive factors. Competition can be expected to increase as technological advances are made and commercial applications broaden. In each of our potential product areas, competition from large pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other companies, universities and research institutions is substantial. Relative to us, most of these entities have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, facilities and experience in conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as in manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products. Many of our competitors may achieve product commercialization or patent protection earlier than we will. Furthermore, we believe that our competitors have used, and may continue to use, litigation to gain a competitive advantage. Finally, our competitors may use different technologies or approaches to the development of products similar to the products we are seeking to develop.

Rapid technological change could make our products obsolete which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Biotechnology and related pharmaceutical technology have undergone and are subject to rapid and significant change. We expect that the technologies associated with biotechnology research and development will continue to develop rapidly. Our future will depend in large part on our ability to

30

maintain a competitive position with respect to these technologies. Any compounds, products or processes that we develop may become obsolete before we recover any expenses incurred in connection with developing these products. Rapid technological change could make our products obsolete which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent upon key personnel and others the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are highly dependent on the principal members of our scientific and management staff, the loss of whose services might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of research, development, or business objectives and would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our success is dependent, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified management, scientific and medical personnel, and on our ability to develop and maintain important relationships with commercial partners, leading research institutions and key distributors. Competition for such personnel and relationships is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such persons or maintain such relationships.

Our potential expansion into areas and activities requiring additional expertise, such as further clinical trials, governmental approvals, contract manufacturing and marketing, are expected to place additional requirements on our management, operational and financial resources. These demands are expected to require an increase in management and scientific personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing management personnel. The failure to attract and retain such personnel or to develop such expertise could materially adversely affect prospects for our success.

Our products involve the use of hazardous materials which could expose us to damages which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our research and development activities involve the use of hazardous materials and chemicals, including the use of radioactive materials. We believe that our procedures for handling hazardous materials comply with federal and state regulations; however, there can be no assurance that accidental injury or contamination from these materials will not occur. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages, which could exceed our available financial resources, including our insurance coverage. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous or radioactive materials and waste products. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to product liability claims that may not be covered by our insurance which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In testing, manufacturing and marketing our products, we risk liability from the failure of products to perform as expected. Such risks exist even with respect to those potential products, if any, that receive regulatory approval for commercial sale. Although we will seek to obtain product liability insurance and indemnification from licensees of the products, such insurance or indemnification may be inadequate, unobtainable or prohibitively expensive. Our insurance policies provide coverage for product liability on a claims made basis and general liability on an occurrence basis. These policies are subject to annual renewal. Such insurance may not be available in the future on acceptable terms or at

31

all. If we cannot obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms, or otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage, if any, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely effected.

We cannot be certain that our present product liability insurance coverage is adequate. Such existing coverage will not be adequate as we further develop our products, and we cannot be certain that adequate insurance coverage against potential claims will be available in sufficient amounts or at a reasonable cost.

Our business may be negatively impacted by computer failures in the Year 2000.

Many of our existing computer programs and systems use only two digits to identify the year in the date field. These programs may be unable to process date/time information between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This inability could cause the disruption or failure of such computer systems. We have identified two main areas of our Year 2000 risk:

. Our internal computer systems could be disrupted or fail, causing an interruption or decrease in our ability to continue its operations; and

. The computer systems of third parties with whom we regularly deal, including our suppliers, vendors, utilities and financial institutions, could be disrupted or fail, causing an interruption or decrease in our ability to continue its operations.

If the business of any third party, including suppliers, vendors, utilizes or financial institutions, is significantly disrupted because such party is not Year 2000 compliant, such disruption could adversely affect our business. These disruptions could include, among other things:

. a financial institution's inability to process checks drawn on our bank accounts, accept deposits or process wire transfers;

. a client's, supplier's, vendor's or financial institution's business failure;

. an interruption in deliveries of equipment and supplies from vendors;

. a loss of voice and data connections we will use to share information;

. a loss of electric power to our facilities; or

. other interruptions to the normal conduct of our business, the nature and extent of which we cannot foresee.

We do not know whether or when any of the disruptions described above will actually occur. Even if they do occur, we cannot predict the effect they will have on our business.

We expect that our stock price will be volatile.

There is no current public market for our common stock. Immediately following completion of the reorganizations, our common stock will be listed for trading on [the Nasdaq National Market]. Upon completion of the reorganizations, it is likely that our common stock will experience the significant volatility previously experienced by Celtrix common stock. The stock market, particularly in recent

32

years, has experienced volatility that has been especially acute with respect to biopharmaceutical and biotechnology based stocks. The volatility of biopharmaceutical and biotechnology based stocks has often been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies represented by the stock. Factors such as announcements of the introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors, market conditions in the biotechnology sectors, rumors relating to us or our competitors and litigation or public concern as to safety of our potential products may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock.

Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals have never paid dividends on their capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Each of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals historically has not paid cash dividends on Celtrix common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, as the case may be. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our businesses and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Certain provisions of Virginia law, our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws make a takeover by a third party difficult.

Certain provisions of Virginia law and our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of us. These provisions include:

. a provision allowing us to issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of the common stock without any further vote or action by the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of the common stock. In certain circumstances, such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock;

. the existence of a staggered board of directors in which there are three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms, and thus expanding the time required to change the composition of a majority of directors and perhaps discouraging someone from making an acquisition proposal for us;

. the Amended and Restated Bylaws' requirement that shareholders provide advance notice when nominating our directors;

. the inability of shareholders to convene a shareholders' meeting without the meeting first being called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a majority of the board of directors; and

. the application of Virginia law prohibiting us from entering into a business combination with the beneficial owner of 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock for a period of three years after the 10% or greater owner first reached that level of stock ownership, unless certain criteria are met.

Record Date; Voting Rights; Votes Required for Approval

Celtrix:

Record Date. Celtrix's board of directors has fixed the close of business on ________, 2000, as the record date for the determination of the Celtrix stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be open to examination by the stockholders, during regular business hours, for a period of ten days before the meeting at the principal executive offices of Celtrix at 2033 Gateway Place, Suite 600, San Jose, California.

Voting Rights. Only holders of record of shares of Celtrix common stock on the Celtrix record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. Each holder of record of Celtrix common stock as of the Celtrix record date is entitled to cast one vote for each share of Celtrix common stock held on the Celtrix record date with regard to the following proposals:

. adoption of the reorganization agreement;

. ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Celtrix's independent public accountants; and

. each other matter that may properly come before the Celtrix annual meeting.

A different voting structure applies to the election of directors. Every Celtrix common stockholder voting for the election of directors may cumulate such stockholder's votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares held by such stockholder, or distribute the stockholder's votes on the same principle among as many candidates as the stockholder thinks fit, provided that votes cannot be cast for more than five candidates. However, no Celtrix common stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes unless the candidate's name has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the stockholder, or any other stockholder, has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the intention to cumulate the stockholder's votes. As of the record date, there were
[30,790,372] shares of Celtrix common stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to five votes at the annual meeting for the election of directors. Such votes may be cast for one nominee or distributed among two or more nominees up to a maximum of five nominees. On all other matters, each share has one vote.

Votes Required for Approval. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Celtrix common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the annual meeting. The reorganization proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Celtrix common stock, voting as a single voting group for approval. Each nominee for election to the board of directors receiving the greatest number of votes, up to five directors, will be elected directors. Ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent public accountants of Celtrix requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Celtrix common stock, voting as a single voting group, present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote.

37

Voting by Celtrix's Directors and Executive Officers. As of the record date, the directors, executive officers and affiliates of Celtrix had voting power with respect to a total of 14,955,752 shares of Celtrix common stock, or approximately [48.6%] of the shares of Celtrix common stock outstanding at that date. Insmed Incorporated and Celtrix MergerSub have entered into a stockholder agreement with the holders of approximately 13,447,001 shares or [43.7%] of Celtrix's outstanding common stock requiring such persons to vote their Celtrix common stock "FOR" adoption of the reorganization proposal. One of the Celtrix directors who is affiliated with a holder of 4.9% of the outstanding Celtrix common stock has agreed to vote its shares in the same manner as are voted by a majority of the remaining shares of Celtrix common stock. Celtrix currently expects that all of its directors, executive officers and affiliates will vote their shares of Celtrix common stock "FOR" the reorganization proposal.

Proxies

All shares of Celtrix common stock, and Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series B Preferred Stock, represented by properly executed proxies received prior to or at the annual meeting of Celtrix stockholders or the special meeting of Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders, as the case may be, and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in those proxies. If no instructions are indicated on a properly executed returned proxy, Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals will vote such proxy "FOR" the approval and adoption of the reorganization proposal and Celtrix will vote such proxy "FOR" the proposals regarding election of directors and appointment of an independent accountant.

Abstentions may be specified with respect to any of the proposals being considered at the respective annual or special meetings, as the case may be. A properly executed proxy marked "ABSTAIN" will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum and for purposes of determining the aggregate voting power and number of shares represented and entitled to vote at the meeting. Because the affirmative votes of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Celtrix common stock are required for adoption of the reorganization proposal, and in the case of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, the affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals capital stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single voting group, are required for approval of the reorganization proposal, a proxy marked "ABSTAIN" with respect to the reorganization proposal will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the reorganization proposal. In addition, the failure of a stockholder of Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals to return a proxy will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the reorganization proposal. In addition, with regard to the other matters to be voted on at the meetings, a proxy marked "ABSTAIN" will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" a proposal.

Broker Voting. Under Nasdaq rules, brokers who hold shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote on certain "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. Such brokers are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to proposals for non-routine matters such as the reorganization proposal. Thus, absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, brokers are not empowered to vote such shares with respect to the approval and adoption of the reorganization proposal (i.e., "broker non-votes"), but may vote the

40

Celtrix shares with respect to the election of directors and the appointment of an independent accountant. Since the affirmative votes described above are required for approval of the reorganization proposal, a "broker non-vote" with respect to the reorganization proposal will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the reorganization proposal.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its use by:

. delivering to the Secretary of Celtrix or the Secretary of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, as the case may be, a signed notice of revocation or a later-dated, signed proxy; or

. by attending the meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the meeting does not mean you have revoked your proxy.

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies of Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders is made by both the Celtrix board of directors and the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors and is being paid for equally by Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. In addition to solicitation by mail, arrangements will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send the proxy materials to beneficial owners. Both Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals will, upon request, reimburse such brokerage houses and custodians for their reasonable expenses in so doing. Neither Insmed Pharmaceuticals nor Celtrix expects to engage a firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies; however, should it later be determined necessary, Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix estimates that related fees will not exceed $10,000 (plus expenses). To the extent necessary in order to ensure sufficient representation at the respective meetings, Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals, as the case may be, or either company's respective proxy solicitor may request the return of proxy cards by personal interview, mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of electronic transmission. The extent to which this will be necessary depends entirely upon how promptly proxy cards are returned. You are urged to send in your proxy card immediately.

You should not send in any stock certificates with your proxy card. As soon as practicable after the completion of the reorganizations, a transmittal form will be sent to you with instructions for receiving Insmed Incorporated common stock in exchange for your Celtrix stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock, as the case may be.

As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, neither the Celtrix board of directors nor the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors knows of any business to be presented at the meetings other than the proposals above. If any other matters should properly come before either meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect to such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting such proxies. Proxies voted "AGAINST" the reorganization proposal will not be used to vote for any adjournment pursuant to this authority.

Availability of Accountants

Celtrix. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP, Celtrix's independent public accountants, is expected to be present at the annual meeting of Celtrix's stockholders and to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Such representative will have the opportunity to make a statement at the annual meeting if he or she so desires.

41

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP, Insmed Pharmaceuticals' independent public accountants, is expected to be present at the special meeting of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' shareholders and be available to respond to appropriate questions. Such representative will have the opportunity to make a statement at the special meeting if he or she so desires.

Results of the Reorganizations

The reorganization agreement provides that, as a part of the reorganizations, each of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Insmed Incorporated. In the reorganizations, Celtrix MergerSub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Incorporated, will be merged with and into Celtrix with Celtrix as the surviving corporation and the separate corporate existence of MergerSub will end. Celtrix will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Incorporated. In whole, Insmed Incorporated will issue stock with an aggregate consideration of approximately $72 million for Celtrix. Throughout this document, the merger of Celtrix MergerSub into Celtrix will be referred to as the merger.

What Celtrix Stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Shareholders Will Receive

Common and Preferred Stockholders. In connection with the reorganizations:

. each holder of Celtrix common stock will receive one (1) share of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each outstanding share of Celtrix common stock;

. each holder of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock will receive __________ shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each outstanding share of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock held;

. each shareholder of Insmed Pharmaceuticals will receive 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each outstanding share of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series B Preferred Stock held; and

. cash will be paid instead of issuing fractional shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock.

Holders of Options, Warrants or Other Rights. At the effective time of the reorganizations, each outstanding option or other right to purchase shares of Celtrix common stock and each outstanding option, warrant or other right to purchase shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock will convert automatically into a new option, warrant or other right to purchase the number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock equal to the number of shares of Celtrix common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, as the case may be, issuable under the old option, warrant or other right multiplied by one (1) in the case of Celtrix stock options or other rights, and 3.5 in the case of Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock options, warrants or other rights, except that cash will be paid instead of issuing options, warrants or other rights to purchase fractional shares of Insmed Incorporated. The per share exercise price of the new option, warrant or other right will be divided by one (1) in the case of Celtrix, or 3.5 (rounded up to the nearest tenth of a cent) in the case of Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock options, warrants or other rights. For more information on the designations and rights of the Insmed Incorporated stock options, see "Insmed Incorporated 2000 Stock Option Plan" on page ___.

Cash Payments for Fractional Shares of Insmed Incorporated Common Stock

If any fractional shares of Insmed Incorporated result from the conversion of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix shares of common stock and preferred stock, no fraction of a share of Insmed Incorporated common stock will be delivered. Rather than receiving a fraction of a share, former Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix common and preferred stockholders will receive a cash payment, without interest and subject to the payment of applicable withholding taxes, based on the mean of the high and low sales prices of Insmed Incorporated common stock as reported on [the Nasdaq National

45

Market], on the first full day on which the Insmed Incorporated common stock is traded on [the Nasdaq National Market].

Similarly, if rights to purchase fractional shares of Insmed Incorporated result from the conversion of Insmed Pharmaceuticals options, warrants or other rights, no right to purchase a fractional share of common stock will be delivered. Instead of receiving an option, warrant or other right to purchase a fractional share of Insmed Incorporated common stock, a holder of an Insmed Pharmaceuticals option, warrant or other right to purchase Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock will receive a check in an amount equal to the difference between:

. the fractional share multiplied by the mean of the high and low sales price of Insmed Incorporated common stock on the first full day of trading on [the Nasdaq National Market] after completion of the reorganizations; and

. the product of 3.5 multiplied by the exercise price per share of each Insmed Pharmaceuticals option, warrant or other right to purchase common stock.

Background and Negotiation of the Reorganizations

On October 5, 1998, the Celtrix board of directors held a regular meeting, at which, among other matters, it discussed the possibility of merging Celtrix with another biotechnology company as a corporate strategy to diversify the product portfolio and gain broader access to financial resources. The board recommended the retention of investment bankers to assist in these activities.

On November 2, 1998, Andreas Sommer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Celtrix, and Thomas Dietz, a Managing Director of Pacific Growth Equities (Pacific Growth), discussed the possibility of merging with another company. The next day Drs. Sommer and Dietz discussed the formal engagement of Pacific Growth and possible merger candidates.

At a meeting of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals' board of directors on November 18, 1998, Edgar Engleman, a member of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors, discussed with Dr. Geoffrey Allan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, whether Insmed Pharmaceuticals might be interested in acquiring Celtrix and another company in the BioAsia management portfolios. After completing preliminary due diligence on that other company, Insmed Pharmaceuticals determined that the companies' technology and business strategies were not complementary and discontinued discussions with that company.

On November 20, 1998, Graham Crooke, a member of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors, contacted Andreas Sommer to discuss the business strategies and position of each company and the complementary nature of clinical programs. These discussions did not include financial terms.

On November 23, 1998, Dr. Engleman discussed with Dr. Sommer the possibility of a merger between the two companies. Later that day, Dr. Allan telephoned Dr. Sommer to give a further description of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and discuss the desirability of a merger between the two companies.

On November 28, 1998, Dr. Sommer and Donald Huffman, Vice President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer of Celtrix met with a mid-size public biotechnology company (Company A) to discuss the possible acquisition of Celtrix. The companies concluded that research and development activities were complementary and that each would be interested in further discussions.

46

On November 30, 1998, Dr. Allan informed BancBoston Robertson Stephens that Insmed Pharmaceuticals was considering the acquisition of two companies.

On December 3, 1998, Drs. Sommer, Allan and Crooke met at the offices of Ticonderoga Capital in San Francisco to discuss the issues and opportunities facing both Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix and the benefits of a business combination of the two companies. These discussions included a review of patents, manufacturing, cost of goods, business development and science, but did not include any discussion of financial terms. The following day Dr. Allan sent Dr. Sommer a financial overview of Insmed Pharmaceuticals. On the same day, Dr. Allan met separately with representatives of the other company that Dr. Engleman had mentioned at the board of directors meeting on November 18, 1998.

On December 7, 1998, the Celtrix board of directors held a regular meeting, at which, among other matters, various merger possibilities were discussed, including the interest of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Company A in a combination.

On December 11, 1998, Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals exchanged confidentiality agreements. Dr. Allan sent a letter of interest to Celtrix that outlined possible terms for an acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals. On December 14, 1998, Dr. Allan sent additional financial information regarding Insmed Pharmaceuticals to Celtrix.

On December 14, 1998, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors discussed both acquisition opportunities in a telephonic meeting.

On December 16, 1998, Celtrix engaged Pacific Growth as its financial advisor to assist in the process of a comprehensive evaluation of all merger possibilities. On the same day, Dr. Allan sent Dr. Sommer a copy of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Clinical Investigator's Brochure (CIB). The following day Dr. Sommer provided a copy of the Celtrix CIB to Insmed Pharmaceuticals.

On January 7, 1999, a representative of Company A informed Mr. Huffman that his firm had evaluated a number of acquisition candidates and that it had decided to focus its efforts in a different area of business from that discussed with Celtrix.

On January 8, 1999, George Milstein, a Managing Director of Pacific Growth provided a list of potential merger partners to Celtrix. Also that day, Dr. Allan of Insmed Pharmaceuticals met with representatives of BancBoston Robertson Stephens to discuss acquisition strategies.

On January 11, 1999, Dr. Sommer visited Dr. Allan at Insmed Pharmaceuticals' offices to discuss the clinical programs of each company.

On January 14, 1999, Dr. Sommer, Mr. Huffman and Dr. Dietz and Mr. Milstein of Pacific Growth met with representatives of a private, developmental stage biotechnology company (Company B) at the offices of Pacific Growth in San Francisco. The parties exchanged confidentiality agreements and had a comprehensive discussion of the clinical programs, business opportunities and strategies of each company. The companies agreed to have further discussions as the clinical plans and overall business strategies of the companies appeared to be complementary. After the meeting, Dr. Dietz of Pacific Growth provided an updated list of potential merger partners to Celtrix.

On January 20, 1999, Dr. Sommer visited a public mid-size biotechnology company (Company C) for discussions regarding the possibility of a merger of the two companies.

47

On January 25, 1999, Dr. Allan again met with BancBoston Robertson Stephens representatives to discuss acquisition strategies.

On January 28, 1999, Dr. Sommer met with representatives of Elan Corporation, plc regarding the possibility of a corporate collaboration in the area of osteoporosis.

On February 11, 1999, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors discussed potential merger or acquisition candidates, including Celtrix.

On February 12, 1999, Dr. Allan spoke with representatives of Pacific Growth and provided them with preliminary information regarding Insmed Pharmaceuticals.

On February 16, 1999, Drs. Sommer and Allan met in the offices of Pacific Growth for further discussions regarding the possible merger of the companies.

On February 26, 1999, Dr. Sommer and Dr. Desmond Mascarenhas, Director of Research and Intellectual Property at Celtrix, gave a further presentation at the Company B offices covering various topics including the patent positions of both companies.

On March 9, 1999, Dr. Sommer met with Elan to discuss the possibility of a corporate collaboration that involved funding of Celtrix's osteoporosis program and an investment by Elan in Celtrix.

On March 10, 1999, Celtrix and Elan continued collaboration discussions. Later that day representatives of Company B made a presentation of the company's programs and business strategy to Dr. Sommer, Mr. Huffman, Dr. Malcolm McKay, Vice President Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance and Dr. Mascarenhas. The parties concluded that a business combination could be mutually beneficial.

On March 12, 1999, Dr. Sommer visited Insmed Pharmaceuticals in Richmond, Virginia and performed preliminary due diligence on Insmed Pharmaceuticals.

On March 16, 1999, the Celtrix board of directors held a regularly scheduled meeting at which the progress of discussions with Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Company B were reviewed. Mr. Milstein reviewed possible deal structures and Dr. Dietz reviewed the business prospects of each company.

On March 18, 1999, Company C informed Dr. Sommer that, while there was interest in a merger due to the attractiveness of Celtrix's technology, it could not advance discussions in the near term (in 1999) because of other corporate goals.

On March 30, 1999, Celtrix received nonbinding, general letters of intent from Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Company B regarding their desire to merge with Celtrix. Company B proposed to merge with Celtrix based on an unspecified price. In addition, Company B's proposal was contingent on satisfactory completion of due diligence by Company B, negotiation of a merger agreement and Celtix not licensing out any rights to SomatoKine. Company B indicated that if Celtrix were to conclude a corporate partnership with Elan, or any other firm, prior to completing a merger, it would potentially diminish their desire to merge with Celtrix, because Company B wanted to retain full ownership of all of Celtrix's indications for SomatoKine.

48

On March 30, 1999, Celtrix also received a detailed and very specific proposal from Elan to purchase $2.5 million of Celtrix common shares and provide additional funding to support a Phase IIb clinical trial in osteoporosis.

On March 31, 1999, the board of directors of Celtrix held a special meeting to evaluate the letters of intent from Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Company B and the Elan proposal for collaboration. The board discussed the possibility of completing a transaction with each company and Elan, the possible terms, the status of discussions, timing and related matters. The board decided that it was in the best interests of Celtrix to accept Elan's firm proposal to conclude a partnership and executed a binding letter agreement with Elan.

In reaching this decision, the board assessed the financial resources of Celtrix in terms of its ability to fund the company's development programs and continue operations in both the short and long term, the likelihood of raising additional funds on acceptable terms and the probability of completing a merger transaction with Company B or Insmed Pharmaceuticals in the near term. The board considered that Elan was willing to execute a binding letter agreement on March 31, 1999, and that the proposed transaction had a high probability of being completed. In addition, the transaction would meet the company's objective of obtaining funding to advance a key clinical program and for ongoing operations. Further, it considered that the letters of intent from Company B and Insmed Pharmaceuticals were very uncertain, were not specific, did not have specific pricing, would require lengthy negotiations, had numerous conditions, and therefore had a lower likelihood of resulting in a completed transaction.

On April 6, 1999, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors discussed the acquisition of Celtrix and agreed that discussions and due diligence should continue.

On April 21, 1999, Celtrix and Elan executed the definitive agreement governing the Elan joint venture. We describe the material terms of the Elan joint venture under "Business of Celtrix -- Corporate Collaborations" on page ___.

On May 4, 1999, Dr. Sommer, Mr. Huffman, and Drs. McKay and Mascarenhas met with representatives of a public biotechnology company (Company D) at their offices to discuss a possible business combination.

On May 25, 1999, Dr. Sommer, Mr. Huffman, and Drs. McKay and Mascarenhas met with representatives of a public, mid-size medical device company (Company
E) to discuss the possibility of a collaboration or merger.

On May 28, 1999, Company B reiterated its interest in Celtrix through Mr. Milstein but again expressed concern that the partnership completed with Elan diminished their desire to merge with Celtrix. Despite Company B's expression of interest Company B did not follow up with any proposal or definitive terms. Celtrix did not have any further discussions with Company B.

On June 3, 1999, Hany Awadalla, a Managing Director of BancBoston Robertson Stephens, spoke with Mr. Milstein regarding the continued interest of Insmed Pharmaceuticals to merge with Celtrix.

On June 7, 1999, Drs. Sommer and Allan met at Celtrix to resume discussions regarding a merger.

49

On June 9, 1999, a representative of Company D called to inform Celtrix that it was not prepared to proceed with merger discussions in the near term. Further, that its interests in pursuing a merger in the longer term would now depend upon the outcome of clinical trials in which it was currently involved.

On June 22, 1999, the Celtrix board of directors at its regularly scheduled meeting discussed, among other matters, the status of possible merger partners and in the case of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, terms and conditions of a merger.

On June 24, 1999, a representative from Company E informed Celtrix that its objectives were to continue to concentrate its efforts in the device area for the foreseeable future.

On June 29, 1999, Drs. Sommer and Allan met in New York with Messrs. Milstein and Awadalla to discuss an appropriate plan of action to proceed with a merger.

Between July and August, Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals and their respective financial advisors held numerous conversations regarding the business opportunities of both companies.

On August 4, 1999, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors retained BancBoston Robertson Stephens to act as Insmed Pharmaceuticals' exclusive investment banker with respect to its acquisition of Celtrix.

On August 23, 1999, at its regularly scheduled meeting, the Celtrix board of directors reviewed Insmed Pharmaceuticals' merger proposal including proposed valuation, ratios and related terms. The board then instructed Mr. Milstein and the officers of Celtrix to continue negotiations with Insmed Pharmaceuticals in accordance with the board's instructions.

At the meeting of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors on September 14, 1999, BancBoston Robertson Stephens and Insmed Pharmaceuticals management reviewed the terms of a proposed merger with Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals management presented the results of its due diligence of Celtrix. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors directed Insmed Pharmaceuticals management to continue due diligence and to begin preparation of documents necessary to effect the merger.

On September 20, 1999, at its regularly scheduled meeting, the Celtrix board of directors discussed the proposed merger with Insmed Pharmaceuticals, its proposed terms, certain other strategic matters and related matters. The board agreed to continue negotiations with Insmed Pharmaceuticals, assuming that Insmed Pharmaceuticals would complete a collaboration agreement with a major corporate partner.

On September 28, 29 and 30, 1999, management representatives from Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals together with their legal advisors met in Richmond, Virginia to negotiate the terms of a definitive merger agreement.

In the month of October, Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix conducted due diligence on each other.

On November 18, 1999, Dr. Allan informed Dr. Sommer that Insmed Pharmaceuticals had decided not to pursue a collaboration agreement with a major corporate partner at this time. Since the Celtrix decision to proceed with the merger partially was based on Insmed Pharmaceuticals concluding such a transaction, the Celtrix board discussed this situation at a telephonic meeting held on November

50

23, 1999. The board then discussed the current status of Celtrix's business and that of Insmed Pharmaceuticals as well as the strength of the combined business, with or without a major collaboration at this time. The board instructed management to continue discussions with Insmed Pharmaceuticals regarding a merger, but at a reduced exchange ratio.

On November 23, 1999, following the Celtrix board meeting, Insmed Pharmaceuticals was informed of the Celtrix board's decision to request a modification of the exchange ratio. Insmed Pharmaceuticals rejected the request for the change but made a counter offer, which was conveyed to Celtrix.

On November 24, 1999, the Celtrix board had a telephonic meeting to discuss the revised Insmed Pharmaceuticals proposal. It also discussed the financial position of both companies and the ability of the combined companies to obtain additional financing. The board instructed Pacific Growth to reiterate its position to Insmed Pharmaceuticals on what it believed was a fair exchange ratio.

On November 29, 1999, the board of Insmed Pharmaceuticals met in New York to discuss the Celtrix transaction. The board of directors of Insmed Pharmaceuticals approved the reorganizations at the exchange ratio proposed by Celtrix on November 24, 1999. After consideration and discussions, other than one director who abstained solely because of a potential conflict of interest as described on page __, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board unanimously:

. determined that the terms of the reorganizations were desirable to Insmed Pharmaceuticals;

. approved the terms of the reorganization agreement;

. authorized Insmed Pharmaceuticals' officers to undertake all acts necessary or desirable to effectuate the reorganizations;

. ratified and approved all actions taken previously by any officer or director of Insmed Pharmaceuticals in connection with the reorganizations; and

. recommended approval of the reorganization agreement by the holders of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock and preferred stock.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals informed Celtrix of its decision to accept the Celtrix board's revised exchange ratio. The Celtrix board met telephonically later that day to discuss the proposed reorganizations. A representative from Pacific Growth delivered its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) that, as of such date, the consideration to be received by the holders of Celtrix common stock and preferred stock pursuant to the terms of the reorganization agreement was fair to such holders from a financial point of view. Celtrix's financial advisor and legal counsel reviewed the final draft of the reorganization agreement. After consideration and discussion of the presentations of its financial and legal advisors, the Celtrix board unanimously:

. determined that the terms of the reorganizations were fair to, and in the best interests of, the holders of the Celtrix common stock from a financial point of view;

. approved the terms of the reorganization agreement;

51

. authorized Celtrix's officers to undertake all acts necessary or desirable to effectuate the reorganizations;

. ratified and approved all actions taken previously by any officer or director of Celtrix in connection with the reorganizations; and

. recommended approval of the reorganization agreement by the holders of the Celtrix common stock.

On November 30, 1999, the reorganization agreement was signed.

On January 13, 2000, the purchase agreement with respect to the financing was executed.

On February 4, 2000, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors met telephonically to discuss the proposed amendment and restatement of the reorganization agreement. After consideration and discussions, other than one director who abstained solely because of a potential conflict of interest as described on page __, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board unanimously:

. determined that the terms of the reorganizations were desirable to Insmed Pharmaceuticals;

. approved the terms of the amended and restated reorganization agreement;

. authorized Insmed Pharmaceuticals' officers to undertake all acts necessary or desirable to effectuate the reorganizations;

. ratified and approved all actions taken previously by any officer or director of Insmed Pharmaceuticals in connection with the reorganizations; and

. recommended approval of the amended and restated reorganization agreement by the holders of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock and preferred stock.

On February 9, 2000, the Celtrix board of directors met telephonically to discuss the proposed amendment and restatement of the reorganization agreement. A representative from Pacific Growth delivered an updated written opinion that, as of November 29, 1999, the consideration to be received by the holders of Celtrix common stock and preferred stock pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated reorganization agreement was fair to such holders from a financial point of view. After consideration and discussion of the presentations of its financial and legal advisors, the Celtrix board unanimously:

. determined that the terms of the reorganizations were fair to, and in the best interests of, the holders of the Celtrix common stock from a financial point of view;

. approved the terms of the amended and restated reorganization agreement;

. authorized Celtrix's officers to undertake all acts necessary or desirable to effectuate the reorganizations;

. ratified and approved all actions taken previously by any officer or director of Celtrix in connection with the reorganizations; and

. recommended approval of the amended and restated reorganization agreement by the holders of the Celtrix common stock.

On February 9, 2000, the amended and restated reorganization agreement was signed.

Celtrix's Reasons for the Reorganizations

In reaching its decision to approve the reorganization agreement, the Celtrix board of directors consulted with Celtrix senior management about strategic and operational matters. Celtrix also sought the advice of its legal counsel and independent accountants regarding:

. the legal duties of the Celtrix board of directors;

. regulatory, tax and accounting matters;

. the terms of the reorganization agreement;

. the other definitive agreements contemplated by that agreement; and

. other relevant matters.

The board's primary motivation for the reorganizations is the risk associated with Celtrix's singular focus. Celtrix is a single product company with a valuation in early 1999 of less than $50 million. If Celtrix had chosen not to merge, the risk associated with a single product company would remain and would potentially have adverse effects on raising enough capital for further development of SomatoKine. Celtrix would have to solicit corporate partnerships for essentially all SomatoKine indications and in the process give up large parts of the potential upside. Celtrix stockholders expect more upside than what could be realized based on royalties. The market capitalization of less than $50 million with a share price of approximately $1.00 leads to a degree of illiquidity and prevents larger funds from investing. A merger of the right companies can solve the problems illustrated above. Multiple product companies are more diverse with respect to risk. Increased capitalization with increased share price enhances access to capital so as to allow for development of potential products without having to give up major rights.

The proposed merger of Celtrix with Insmed Pharmaceuticals would fulfill the desired objectives as illustrated in the following table.

The Celtrix board of directors also consulted with Pacific Growth Equities, Inc. regarding the overall fairness from a financial point of view of the aggregate consideration to be received by Celtrix stockholders pursuant to the reorganization agreement. While the Celtrix board of directors did not assign any relative weight to the various factors it considered, the following were some of the more important factors considered by Celtrix's board of directors in approving the reorganization agreement:

53

. the fact that the consideration contained in the reorganization agreement would enable Celtrix stockholders to hold approximately 43.2% of the outstanding common stock of Insmed Incorporated on a fully diluted basis (based on ownership prior to completion of the $34.5 million financing described under "Recent Developments" on page __);

. the opinion of Pacific Growth, dated as of February 9, 2000, the day the amended and restated reorganization was executed, that as of November 29, 1999, the day before the original reorganization agreement was executed, the consideration to Celtrix stockholders provided for in the amended and restated reorganization agreement was fair to Celtrix stockholders from a financial point of view. A copy of that opinion, which sets forth certain important qualifications, assumptions made, matters considered, areas of reliance on others and limitations is attached as Annex B, and a summary description is included in "Opinion of Celtrix's Financial Advisor" on page ___;

. the consolidation taking place among biotechnology companies suggests that large companies will be better able to compete in this industry and that it is an attractive time for smaller companies to consider strategic alternatives. For example, the Celtrix board believes it would be beneficial for Celtrix to be part of a larger organization with greater market potential and offer its products as part of a broader range of products for treating a variety of metabolic disorders;

. the value of Celtrix continuing as a stand-alone entity compared to the prospects for a combined company. In this context, the following factors were particularly compelling:

.. that the reorganizations offered a strategic fit between Celtrix's and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' core businesses; and

.. that the reorganizations would afford Celtrix stockholders the chance, as equity holders of Insmed Incorporated, to participate in the continued growth of a more effective competitor with greater financial resources, increased business opportunities and expanded earnings potential than would be possible for Celtrix as an independent company;

. the lack of any substantial impediments to the ability of the Celtrix board to entertain alternative proposals for a business combination transaction, negotiate and give information to third parties and terminate the reorganization agreement in the event of an alternative proposal, if required by the Celtrix board's fiduciary duties to its stockholders;

. the opportunity to raise additional capital in order to continue clinical trials for SomatoKine in existing indications;

. Celtrix management's assessment of possible strategic alternatives, including remaining a separate company, entering joint ventures or merging with a third party;

. the fact that, although Celtrix did not conduct a formal auction, the Celtrix board believed that a more attractive offer would not be available based on previous merger discussions with five other companies;

54

. the potential to pursue additional indications for Celtrix's main product;

. the reduction of strategic risk inherent in an expanded product portfolio;

. the opportunity for the combined entity to achieve potential cost synergies, through consolidation and integration of certain manufacturing, research, development, sales and administrative operations and functions;

. recent and historical market prices of Celtrix common stock;

. the larger market capitalizations of Insmed Incorporated compared to Celtrix and the corresponding increase in trading liquidity of the Insmed Incorporated common stock compared to the Celtrix common stock;

. the likelihood that the reorganizations will be completed, including the likelihood of satisfying the conditions to completion of the reorganizations, the experience, reputation and financial condition of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and the risks to Celtrix if the reorganizations are not completed; and

. the other terms and attributes of the reorganizations, including the tax-free nature of the transaction with respect to Celtrix stockholders.

The Celtrix board also considered a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the reorganizations, including, but not limited to:

. the loss of control over the future operations of Celtrix following the merger and the resulting potential for disruption in operations arising from the change in control of Celtrix, including the possible change to or cessation of Celtrix's SomatoKine clinical and development programs;

. the benefits sought to be achieved in the merger may be delayed or may not be achieved;

. the potential disruption of Celtrix's business that might result from employee uncertainty and lack of focus following announcement of the merger and during the combination of operations;

. the possibility that the merger would not be completed and the effect of the public announcement of the merger on Celtrix's operations, its ability to attract and retain employees and the effects on its public stock price from the public announcement of a termination of the reorganization agreement;

. the substantial expenses to be incurred in connection with the merger;

. the risk that key personnel may not remain employed by Insmed Incorporated; and

. the other risks described under "Risk Factors" on page __.

After due consideration, the Celtrix board concluded that the benefits of the transaction to Celtrix and its stockholders outweighed the risks associated with the foregoing factors.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Reasons for the Reorganizations

Other than one director who abstained solely because of a potential conflict of interest as described on page __, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals' board of directors has unanimously approved the reorganizations and the reorganization agreement. It believes the reorganizations are beneficial to Insmed Pharmaceuticals and its shareholders for the following reasons:

. the reorganizations will increase our product development opportunities. The combined entity will have a clinical stage product portfolio that includes drugs for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, hip fracture, osteoporosis, severe burns and wound healing. Insmed Pharmaceuticals' board of directors believes that the expanded product portfolio should increase business development activities and financial results;

. the increased number of products increases the opportunity for commercial success while decreasing the potential adverse financial impact that could result from failure of individual products to perform successfully in clinical development;

. the reorganizations will cause illiquid shares of privately held Insmed Pharmaceuticals to be exchanged for liquid shares of a publicly held company. The shares in the new company will be traded on a major U.S. exchange. This improves Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders' liquidity;

. the reorganizations will enable the combined company to pursue a number of potential product opportunities that Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix would otherwise be unable to pursue as stand-alone companies;

. the combined company may be able to obtain better commercial terms in partnering and other transactions due to its increased size, product development portfolio and bargaining power;

. the reorganizations will enable the companies to combine their research and development programs and should therefore enable the combined entity to achieve greater operating synergies;

. the combined company will have greater financial resources to develop its products than either individual company on a stand-alone basis;

. the core technologies of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix are complementary; and

. the combined company will have greater leverage in obtaining financing for its operations.

The Insmed Pharmaceuticals board also considered a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the reorganizations, including, but not limited to:

. the dilutive effects of the issuance of shares in the reorganizations;

56

. the potential disruption to the business of both companies following announcement of the reorganizations, including the effects of employee uncertainty, the possibility that key employees may leave Insmed Pharmaceuticals or Celtrix, and the possibility that corporate partners may not approve of the reorganizations or may decide to terminate their relationship with the combined company;

. additional potential problems and costs associated with the integration of both companies into a single enterprise;

. the possibility that the merger would not be completed; and

. the other risks described under "Risk Factors" on page __.

After due consideration, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals' board concluded that the benefits of the transaction to Insmed Pharmaceuticals and its shareholders outweighed the risks associated with the foregoing factors.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but is believed to include all material factors considered by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors.

Recommendations of the Boards of Directors

Celtrix. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Celtrix board, it did not find it practicable to quantify, or otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in making its determination. However, after taking into account all factors described above, the Celtrix board of directors has unanimously approved and adopted the reorganization agreement.

Opinion of Celtrix's Financial Advisors

Celtrix retained Pacific Growth Equities, Inc. to evaluate the terms of the merger, as stated in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 30, 19999 (the "Original Agreement") and render an opinion as to its fairness. On November 29, 1999, Pacific Growth rendered its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) to the board of directors of Celtrix to the effect that, as of November 29, 1999, and based on and subject to matters stated in the opinion, the terms of the merger are fair from a financial point of view to Celtrix stockholders.

On February 9, 2000, Celtrix, Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals executed an amended and restated form of the agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Amended Agreement") and on the same day Pacific Growth rendered its oral opinion, which was confirmed in writing that day to the effect that as of November 29, 1999, the terms of the merger as reflected in the Amended Agreement are fair from a financial point of view to Celtrix stockholders.

The full text of Pacific Growth's revised written opinion dated February 9, 2000, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered, and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex B and is incorporated herein by reference. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Holders of Celtrix common stock are urged to, and should, read this opinion carefully in its entirety. Pacific Growth has consented to the use of its fairness opinion in connection with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Pacific Growth's opinion addresses only the fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of view to Celtrix, and it does not address any other aspect of the merger nor does it constitute a recommendation to any holder of Celtrix common stock as to how to vote with respect to the merger.

In connection with its opinion, Pacific Growth:

. reviewed certain publicly available financial information and other information concerning Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals and certain internal analyses and other information furnished to it by Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals; and

. held discussions with the members of senior management of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals regarding the businesses and prospects of their respective companies and the joint prospects of a combined company.

In addition, Pacific Growth:

. reviewed the historical reported prices and trading activity for Celtrix common stock;

. compared certain financial information for both Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals with similar information for selected companies whose securities are publicly traded;

. compared certain stock market information and valuations for Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals with similar information for certain companies whose securities are publicly traded;

58

. analyzed and compared certain financial information for Insmed Pharmaceuticals about certain public traded companies at time of their initial public offering; and

. performed such other studies and analyses and considered such other factors as it deemed appropriate.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Pacific Growth assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy, completeness and fairness of the information furnished to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with it for the purposes of rendering its opinion. Pacific Growth assumed, with the consent of Celtrix, that the Merger would be accounted for as a purchase of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals and as a tax-free transaction for the stockholders of Celtrix for federal income tax purposes, and that the merger would be completed in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated February 9, 2000. Pacific Growth did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets of Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals nor was Pacific Growth furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. The Pacific Growth opinion is based on market, economic and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date of the opinion letter.

The following is a summary of the analyses performed and factors considered by Pacific Growth in connection with rendering of the Pacific Growth Opinion.

Historical Financial Position. In rendering its opinion, Pacific Growth reviewed and analyzed the historical financial position of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals which included:

. an assessment of each of Celtrix's and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' recent financial statements;

. an analysis of each of Celtrix's and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' revenue, growth and operating performance trends; and

. an assessment of Celtrix's and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' balance sheet information.

Historical Stock Price Performance. Pacific Growth reviewed and analyzed the daily closing per share market prices and trading volume for Celtrix common stock from November 4, 1999 through November 24, 1999. Pacific Growth also reviewed the daily closing prices per share of Celtrix common stock and compared the movement of such daily closing prices with the movement of the AMEX Biotechnology Index, Nasdaq Biotechnology Index and the S&P 500 Index for the period November 1, 1998 through November 19, 1999.

The financial information used in connection with the analysis provided below with respect to Celtrix was based on publicly available information. In the case of the publicly traded company comparables listed above the financial information used in connection with the analysis provided below was based on the most recent, as of November 29, 1999, publicly available income statement and balance sheet information. Pacific Growth noted that, based on the reported financial information and most recent common equity prices as of November 29, 1999:

. the multiple of market capitalization to cash was 22.4x for Celtrix compared to the mean, excluding those comparable companies with the highest and lowest multiple, of 7.5x for companies selected as comparable to Celtrix;

. the multiple of market capitalization to technology value was 1.0x for Celtrix compared to the mean, excluding those comparable companies with the highest and lowest multiple, of 1.1x for companies selected as comparable to Celtrix; and

. the discount to 52-week high was 41.1% for Celtrix compared to a mean, excluding those comparable companies with the highest and lowest discount, of 32.2% for companies comparable to Celtrix.

Analysis of Discounted Forward Revenues. Pacific Growth analyzed the discounted forward revenues for Insmed Pharmaceuticals using financial and operating data made available from the internal records of Insmed Pharmaceuticals for projections of Insmed Pharmaceuticals for the fiscal years 1999 through 2008. Pacific Growth used a terminal multiple of eight times revenue, based upon an analysis of publicly traded comparable companies and discount rates from 30% to 40%. The implied value of the company based on this valuation method was $92.2 million. Pacific Growth noted that this analysis further supports the position that the terms of the merger are fair from a financial point of view to the Celtrix stockholders.

No company used in the above analysis as a comparable company is identical to Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, our analyses take into account differences in the financial and operating characteristics of the selected comparable companies and other factors that would affect the public trading value and acquisition value of those comparable companies.

While the foregoing summary describes analyses and factors that Pacific Growth deemed material in its presentation to Celtrix's board, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Pacific Growth. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the applications of these methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Pacific Growth believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, would create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying Pacific Growth's opinion. In performing its analyses, Pacific Growth considered general economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The analyses performed by Pacific Growth are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Accordingly such analyses are subject to substantial uncertainty. Additionally, analyses relating to the value of a business do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which the business actually may be sold. Furthermore, no opinion is being expressed as to the prices at which shares of Celtrix or Insmed common stock may trade at any future time.

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 16, 1998, between Celtrix and Pacific Growth, the fees payable to Pacific Growth for rendering the Pacific Growth opinion shall, in the event the reorganizations described in the reorganization agreement (or any other acquisition transactions described in the Pacific Growth letter agreement) are completed, consist of a "performance fee" equal to $450,000 plus 1% of the value of the acquisition transaction that exceeds $15 million. Based on the reorganizations described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the performance fee has been calculated to be $879,003 of which $15,000 was paid as a retainer to Pacific Growth and of which $864,003 will be payable upon completion of the reorganizations. In addition to the fee provided for above, Celtrix agreed to promptly reimburse Pacific Growth, upon request, for all of Pacific Growth's reasonable and accountable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, travel expenses, charges for public reference documents and database services, statistical analysis data and legal fees and expenses) incurred by Pacific Growth in connection with the performance of its services pursuant to the letter agreement, up to a maximum of $50,000. Celtrix has agreed to indemnify Pacific Growth and its

64

directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons, for certain costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities related to or arising out of its rendering of services under its engagement.

The Celtrix board retained Pacific Growth based upon Pacific Growth's qualifications, reputation, experience and expertise. Pacific Growth, as a customary part of its investment banking business, is engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, public equity underwritings, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Pacific Growth maintains a market in the common stock of many publicly traded biotechnology and other companies and regularly publishes research reports regarding the biotechnology industry and publicly traded companies in the biotechnology industry.

Interests of Common Stockholders and Director of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated

Edgar G. Engleman, a member of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated board of directors, is a General Partner of BioAsia Investments,
LLC. BioAsia is the general partner of Biotechnology Development Fund, L.P. and Biotechnology Development Fund III, L.P. As of February 9, 2000, the Biotechnology Fund(s) owned:

. 917,500 shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series B Preferred Stock;

. 4,530,516 shares of Celtrix common stock; and

. a warrant to purchase 615,258 shares of Celtrix common stock at an exercise price of $2.68 which expires on April 1, 2000.

In addition, BioAsia has the right to designate one person as a non-voting observer to attend all meetings of the Celtrix board of directors. Since November 1998 and through the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Dr. Engleman has attended nine of thirteen of Celtrix's board of directors meetings as the BioAsia designee following the grant of board observer rights to BioAsia. Dr. Engleman participated in a number of Celtrix board meetings in an "observer" status, with no voting rights. Further, he acknowledged his position as a director of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and any possible conflict of interest as described on page __, arising out of his association with both companies by absenting himself from the process and discussions concerning the proposed merger with Insmed Pharmaceuticals. At board meetings of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated, Dr. Engleman abstained on all voting matters related to the reorganizations.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Reorganizations

In considering the recommendation of the Celtrix board of directors and Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors with respect to the reorganizations, Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders should be aware that certain directors and officers of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals have interests in respect of the reorganizations that are in addition to, or different from, their interests as stockholders generally. In connection with their approval of the reorganization agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement, the Celtrix board of directors and the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors also considered the interests of Celtrix management and directors and Insmed Pharmaceuticals management and directors described below. See also "Interests of Common Stockholder and Director of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated" immediately preceding this section.

Considerations of the Celtrix Board of Directors and Officers

. Celtrix has entered into a consulting agreement with Andreas Sommer, Ph.D. under which Dr. Sommer would receive a monthly retainer of $6,000 for a period of eighteen months after the reorganizations;

. Insmed Incorporated has entered into an arrangement with Malcolm J. McKay, Ph.D. under which he would receive 106.5% of the base salary he currently receives from Celtrix for a period terminating on December 31, 2000, plus standard Insmed Incorporated employee benefits;

. upon closing of the reorganizations, Celtrix is obligated to pay a $50,000 transaction bonus to each of the current officers (and one former officer) of Celtrix;

. indemnification and limitation of liability provisions covering Celtrix directors and officers will be substantially the same in all material respects for Insmed Incorporated directors and officers after the effective time of the reorganizations;

. immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganizations, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Celtrix common stock, including those options held by Celtrix officers and directors, shall become fully vested and exercisable. As of December 31, 1999, there were outstanding options to purchase 1,410,722 shares of Celtrix common stock, of which 802,767 were vested. Officers and directors hold options to purchase 1,130,000 of such shares, 603,199 of which were vested as of December 31, 1999; and

. at the effective time of the reorganizations, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Celtrix common stock, including those held by directors and officers, will be converted into a new option to purchase a number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock equal to the number of Celtrix shares covered by the option immediately prior to the reorganizations.

The board provided for the $50,000 transaction bonuses to current officers (and one former officer, as additional severance) shortly after the company had completed a major restructuring in the fall of 1998. The restructuring included a 90% reduction in workforce. In providing for these bonuses, the board considered the need to provide sufficient incentives to retain management capable of accomplishing the company's primary objectives of advancing its SomatoKine programs by either corporate collaboration and/or merger with an entity to form an entity more able to advance the programs. From the time of the implementation of the bonuses until the announcement of the proposed merger with Insmed, Celtrix officers pursued more than 15 possible corporate collaborations. The board considers the consulting and employment agreements with several key Celtrix employees and severance packages and accelerated vesting of options with all Celtrix employees to be necessary incentives for employees to remain with the company through the transition period from the announcement of the merger until effectiveness. Further, the board recognized the need to provide an acquiring company with access to several key employees after the merger is completed. As such, the board deemed these measures essential to a successful transaction and essential in protecting the interests of Celtrix stockholders.

Considerations of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Board of Directors

. under the terms of the reorganization agreement, Geoffrey Allan, Ph.D.
will be named Chief Executive Officer and President of Insmed Incorporated

66

. under the terms of the reorganization agreement, Michael D. Baer will be named Chief Financial Officer of Insmed Incorporated;

. upon completion of the reorganizations, Insmed Pharmaceuticals will pay a transaction bonus of $120,000 to Geoffrey Allan, Ph.D., its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and $50,000 to Michael D. Baer, its Chief Financial Officer;

. under the terms of the reorganization agreement, Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals agree to cause Geoffrey Allan, Ph.D., Gustav A. Christensen , Kenneth G. Condon, Graham K. Crooke, MB.BS, Dennis J. Dougherty, Steinar J. Engelsen, M.D. and Edgar G. Engleman, M.D. to be elected to the Insmed Incorporated board of directors;

. Insmed Incorporated has entered into an arrangement with Malcolm J. McKay, Ph.D. under which he would receive 106.5% of the base salary he currently receives from Celtrix for a period terminating on December 31, 2000, plus standard Insmed Incorporated employee benefits;

. indemnification and limitation of liability provisions covering Insmed Pharmaceuticals directors and officers will remain substantially the same in all material respects for Insmed Incorporated officers and directors after the effective time of the reorganizations;

. the directors' and officers' outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock will convert into new options or new warrants, as the case may be, to purchase Insmed Incorporated common stock according to the reorganization exchange formula; and

. directors and officers of Insmed Pharmaceuticals held options and warrants to purchase 734,166 shares (363,331 of which are exercisable) of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock as of December 31, 1999.

The compensation committee concluded that the transaction bonuses to Messrs. Allan and Baer were essential to a successful transaction. In determining these bonuses, the compensation committee considered the need to provide sufficient incentives to retain these officers through the closing of the reorganizations and the need for the diligent efforts of Messrs. Allan and Baer in completing the reorganizations. The compensation committee consists solely of independent outside directors of Insmed Pharmaceuticals.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discusses the material federal income tax consequences of the merger to Celtrix stockholders or the share exchange to Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders. This discussion and the legal opinions described below are based on current law, which is subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion and the legal opinions are not a complete description of all tax consequences of the reorganizations and, in particular, do not address all of the federal income tax consequences applicable to the personal circumstances of Celtrix or Insmed stockholders or to taxpayers that are subject to special treatment under federal income tax law including, but not limited to, the Celtrix Series A Preferred stockholder to the extent it receives Insmed Incorporated common stock in exchange for accrued but unpaid dividends. In addition, this discussion and the legal opinions do not address the tax consequences of the reorganizations under applicable state, local or foreign laws. You should consult with your own tax advisor about the tax consequences of the merger or the share exchange,

67

as applicable, in light of your particular circumstances, including the application of any state, local or foreign law.

In the opinion of Venture Law Group, a Professional Corporation, counsel to Celtrix, the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and subject to the limitations referred to above:

. Celtrix and Insmed Incorporated will not recognize gain or loss on completion of the merger;

. a Celtrix stockholder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Celtrix stock for Insmed Incorporated common stock, except for the receipt of cash for a fractional share;

. the aggregate basis of the Insmed Incorporated common stock received by a Celtrix stockholder, including any fractional share will be the same as the stockholder's aggregate basis in the Celtrix stock surrendered;

. the holding period of the Insmed Incorporated common stock received by a Celtrix stockholder will include the stockholder's holding period for the Celtrix stock surrendered, if the Celtrix stock is held as a capital asset; and

. a Celtrix stockholder who receives cash for a fractional share of Insmed Incorporated common stock will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash received and his or her basis in the fractional share.

In the opinion of Hunton & Williams, counsel to Insmed Pharmaceuticals, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders' exchange of Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock for Insmed Incorporated common stock will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or as part of an exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code; and:

. Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated will not recognize gain or loss on completion of the share exchange;

. an Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock for Insmed Incorporated common stock, except for to the receipt of cash for a fractional share;

. the aggregate basis of the Insmed Incorporated common stock received by an Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder, including any fractional share, will be the same as the shareholder's aggregate basis in the Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock surrendered;

. the holding period of Insmed Incorporated common stock received by an Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder will include the shareholder's holding period for the Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock surrendered, if the Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock is held as a capital asset; and

. an Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder who receives cash for a fractional share of Insmed Incorporated common stock will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash received and his or her basis in the fractional share.

68

Receipt by Celtrix of a tax opinion of Venture Law Group, a Professional Corporation as of the closing date of the merger, and receipt by Insmed Pharmaceuticals of a tax opinion of Hunton & Williams as of the closing date of the share exchange are conditions to completion of each of the reorganizations. The opinions of Venture Law Group, a Professional Corporation and Hunton & Williams are based on, and the opinions to be given as of the respective closing dates of the merger and the share exchange will be based on, customary assumptions and representations made by Insmed Incorporated, Celtrix, and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. An opinion of counsel represents counsel's best legal judgment and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and no rulings will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the merger or the share exchange. If the merger and the share exchange do not qualify as reorganizations within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or as parts of an exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code, the exchange of Celtrix stock in the merger and the exchange of Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock in the share exchange would be taxable to Celtrix stockholders or Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders, as the case may be. In such case, stockholders would recognize gain or loss in the same amount as if they had received cash in the amount of the fair market value of the Insmed Incorporated common stock received.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the exercise of dissenters' or appraisal rights by a Celtrix stockholder or an Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder will be a taxable transaction. Any Celtrix stockholder or an Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder considering the exercise of dissenters' or appraisal rights, should consult a tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of exercising his or her dissenters' or appraisal rights.

For federal income tax purposes, both Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals have significant net operating loss carryforwards. After completion of the Celtrix merger and the Insmed Pharmaceuticals share exchange, each corporation's ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards will be restricted under federal income tax law. However, for financial accounting purposes, neither Celtrix nor Insmed Pharmaceuticals has attributed any value to the future use of its net operating loss carryforwards.

Accounting Treatment

For accounting purposes Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is the acquiring company. Insmed Incorporated is a holding company formed by Insmed Pharmaceuticals in order to facilitate the exchange of shares in accordance with the reorganization agreement. The historical basis of Insmed Pharmaceuticals assets and liabilities will carry over to Insmed Incorporated. We expect to account for the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Incorporated under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The purchase price will be allocated among Celtrix's consolidated assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values.

Procedures for Exchange of Stock Certificates

Insmed Incorporated has appointed First Union National Bank as exchange agent in connection with the reorganizations. Immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganizations, Insmed Incorporated will deposit with First Union National Bank, in trust for the benefit of former Celtrix stockholders and former Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders, certificates representing shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock to be issued and the cash to be paid instead of fractional shares under the terms of the reorganization agreement.

Promptly after the reorganizations are completed, First Union National Bank will send to each former stockholder of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals a letter and instructions for exchanging the

69

stockholder's Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock certificates for the stock certificates of Insmed Incorporated. After the reorganizations become effective, shares of Celtrix common and preferred stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals common and preferred stock will represent only the right to receive:

. certificates representing shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock into which the stockholder's shares of Celtrix common stock or Celtrix preferred stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock are converted; and

. a check for any fractional share interests and any dividends or distributions as described below.

The Insmed Incorporated common stock certificates and any checks will be delivered to each former Celtrix stockholder and each former Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder on receipt by First Union National Bank of certificates representing the stockholder's shares of Celtrix common stock or Celtrix preferred stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock, along with a properly completed letter transmitting the certificates. If any of the certificates of Celtrix common stock or Celtrix preferred stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the stockholder must deliver a bond reasonably satisfactory to Insmed Incorporated and First Union National Bank. No interest will be paid on any cash to be paid instead of fractional shares.


You should not send in your certificates representing Celtrix common stock or Celtrix preferred stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock until you receive instructions from First Union National Bank.

None of Celtrix, Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Insmed Incorporated or First Union National Bank will be liable to any former Celtrix stockholder or former Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder for any shares or cash delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

Until their outstanding certificates representing Celtrix common stock or Celtrix preferred stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock are surrendered, former stockholders of Celtrix and former shareholders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals will not receive any dividends payable to Insmed Incorporated shareholders for any period after the reorganizations become effective. When Celtrix stockholders and Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders surrender their certificates formerly representing Celtrix common stock, Celtrix preferred stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock, the certificates will be canceled and exchanged for certificates of Insmed Incorporated common stock and cash representing fractional shares. In addition, when Insmed Incorporated stock certificates are issued to former common and preferred stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals, any dividend declared by Insmed Incorporated with a record date for common shareholders entitled to receive the dividend on or after the reorganizations become effective and a date of payment prior to the date the Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals certificates are surrendered will be paid promptly to the former common and preferred stockholders. No interest will be paid on these dividends.

First Union National Bank may deduct any amounts required to be withheld under federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws from any shares of common stock or cash payments made to a former Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder. For federal income tax purposes, former Celtrix

70

stockholders and former Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders will be treated as having received any amounts withheld by First Union National Bank.

Appraisal Rights

Celtrix. Celtrix is a Delaware corporation. Under Delaware law, certain stockholders have appraisal rights with respect to a merger and the right to receive payment in cash for their shares of common stock. A stockholder of a Delaware corporation is entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of the "fair value" of his or her shares in the event of the completion of a merger or consolidation to which the corporation is a party, provided that either one of the following is true:

. approval by the stockholders of the corporation is required for a merger or consolidation pursuant to Delaware law or the corporation's certificate of incorporation and the stockholder is entitled to vote on adoption of such merger or consolidation; or

. the corporation is a subsidiary being merged with its parent or another subsidiary of the parent pursuant to a particular provision under Delaware law for such transactions and all of the stock of the corporation is not owned by the parent corporation.

With respect to shares of any class or series that are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the NASD or held by at least 2,000 record stockholders, appraisal rights are not available to the holders of such shares by reason of a merger or consolidation unless the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation to accept for such stock anything except the following types of consideration:

(1) cash in lieu of fractional shares;

(2) shares of the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation that are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the NASD or held by more than 2,000 record stockholders; or

(3) a combination of (1) and (2).

Celtrix Stockholders. Celtrix stockholders have a statutory appraisal right granted under Delaware law, as described above. A Celtrix stockholder who desires to receive payment of the "fair value" of his shares must follow the specific procedural requirements under Delaware law in order to maintain such right and obtain such payment.

Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law addresses stockholders' appraisal rights and is reprinted in its entirety in Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion is a summary of the material terms of the law relating to appraisal rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Annex C. Celtrix stockholders should review this discussion and Annex C carefully if they wish to exercise statutory appraisal rights, or preserve their right to dissent because failure to comply with the procedures stated in this discussion and in the statute will result in the loss of appraisal rights.

71

A Celtrix stockholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights generally must dissent with respect to all of the shares he or she owns or over which he or she has power to direct the vote. However, if a record stockholder is a nominee for several beneficial stockholders, some of whom wish to dissent and some of whom do not, then the record stockholder may dissent with respect to all the shares beneficially owned by any one person by notifying Celtrix in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the record stockholder asserts appraisal rights. A beneficial stockholder may assert appraisal rights directly by submitting to Celtrix the record stockholder's written consent to the dissent and by dissenting with respect to all the shares of which the stockholder is the beneficial stockholder or over which the stockholder has power to direct the vote.

A Celtrix stockholder wishing to exercise his or her appraisal rights must deliver a written demand of appraisal to Celtrix before the taking of the vote on the reorganization agreement at the annual meeting of Celtrix stockholders. The written demand must:

(1) state the stockholder's desire to exercise his appraisal rights; and

(2) reasonably inform Celtrix of the stockholder's identity.

The written demand should be sent to the following address:

Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
2033 Gateway Place, Suite 600
San Jose, California 95110
(408) 988-2500
Attn: Donald D. Huffman

If the merger is completed, Insmed Incorporated, as the parent company of Celtrix, will, within 10 days after the effective date of the merger, deliver a written notice to all stockholders who properly exercised their appraisal rights. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, Insmed Incorporated or any stockholder who has properly exercised his or her appraisal rights may file a petition in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. A stockholder who has properly exercised his or her appraisal rights may withdraw his or her demand for appraisal rights and accept the reorganization consideration at any time within 60 days of the effective date of the merger.

Within the 120-day period after the effective date of the merger, any Celtrix stockholder who properly exercised his or her appraisal right may, by written notice, request from Insmed Incorporated a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Celtrix stock not voted in favor of the merger and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Insmed Incorporated will mail the requested information to the stockholders who requested the information within 10 days of receiving the written request or within 10 days after expiration of the period, for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever occurs later.

If a stockholder files a petition with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to exercise his or her appraisal rights, a copy of the petition will be served on Insmed Incorporated. Within 20 days of receiving service, Insmed Incorporated will file a list of names and addresses of all Celtrix stockholders seeking appraisal rights who have not settled with Insmed Incorporated on a fair price for their shares.

72

If Insmed Incorporated, rather than a stockholder, files the petition with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, Insmed Incorporated will at the same time provide the list of names and addresses of stockholders.

The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may order a hearing to be held to determine the fair value of the Celtrix stock. Upon determination of the fair price and the surrender to Insmed Incorporated of any Celtrix share certificates still held by Celtrix stockholders, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall order payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by Insmed Incorporated to the stockholders entitled thereto.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Insmed Pharmaceuticals is a Virginia corporation. Under Virginia law, certain shareholders have the right to dissent from a reorganization and receive payment in cash for their shares of common stock. A shareholder of a Virginia corporation is entitled to an appraisal by the Circuit Court of the "fair value" of his shares in the event of the completion of a merger, consolidation or share exchange to which the corporation is a party, provided that either one of the following is true:

. approval by the shareholders of the corporation is required for a merger, share exchange or sale of substantially all assets pursuant to Virginia law or the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws or by directors' resolution and the shareholder is entitled to vote; or

. the corporation is a subsidiary being merged with its parent or another subsidiary of the parent pursuant to a particular provision under Virginia law for such transactions and all of the stock of the corporation is not owned by the parent corporation.

With respect to shares of any class or series that are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the NASD or held by at least 2,000 record shareholders, rights to dissent are not available to the holders of such shares by reason of a merger, share exchange or sale of substantially all assets unless the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of a merger, share exchange or sale of substantially all assets to accept for such stock anything except the following types of consideration:

(1) cash in lieu of fractional shares;

(2) shares of the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation that are listed on a national securities exchange or held by more than 2,000 record shareholders; or

(3) a combination of (1) and (2).

Insmed Pharmaceuticals Shareholders. Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders have a statutory right to dissent granted under Virginia law, as described above. An Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder who desires to receive payment of the "fair value" of his shares must follow the specific procedural requirements under Virginia law in order to maintain such right and obtain such payment.

Article 15 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act addresses shareholders' rights to dissent and is reprinted in its entirety in Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion is a summary of the material terms of the law relating to rights to dissent and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Annex D. Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders should review this discussion and Annex D carefully if they wish to exercise their statutory right to

73

dissent, or preserve their right to dissent because failure to comply with the procedures described in this discussion and in the statute will result in the loss of the right to dissent to the reorganizations.

An Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder who wishes to exercise rights to dissent generally must dissent with respect to all of the shares he or she owns or over which he or she has power to direct the vote. However, if a record shareholder is a nominee for several beneficial shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent and some of whom do not, then the record shareholder may dissent with respect to all the shares beneficially owned by any one person by notifying Insmed Pharmaceuticals in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the record shareholder asserts such rights to dissent. A beneficial shareholder may assert their rights directly by submitting to Insmed Pharmaceuticals the record shareholder's written consent to the dissent and by dissenting with respect to all the shares of which the shareholder is the beneficial shareholder or over which the shareholder has power to direct the vote.

An Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder wishing to exercise his or her right to dissent must deliver a written payment demand to Insmed Pharmaceuticals before the taking of the vote on the reorganization proposal at the special meeting of Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters' rights must:

(1) state the shareholder's intent to demand payment for his shares if the proposed action is effectuated; and

(2) not vote such shares in favor of the proposed action.

The written demand should be sent to the following address:

Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
800 East Leigh Street
Richmond, Virginia 23219
Attn: Michael D. Baer

If the share exchange is completed, Insmed Incorporated, as the parent company of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, will, within 10 days after the effective time of the share exchange, deliver a written notice to all shareholders who properly exercised their rights. The notice delivered by Insmed Incorporated will:

. state where payment demand is to be sent and where and when certificates for the shares subject to the shareholders' dissent are to be deposited;

. supply a form for demanding payment that includes the date (December 1, 1999) of the first announcement to the news media of the share exchange, and requires that the person asserting dissenters' rights certify whether or not such person acquired beneficial ownership of such person's shares subject to the shareholders' dissent before or after such date;

. set a date by which Insmed Incorporated must receive the payment demand, which date may not be less than thirty nor more than sixty days after the date of delivery of the dissenters' notice; and

74

. be accompanied by a copy of Article 15 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

A shareholder's dissenters' notice shall demand payment, certify that such holder acquired beneficial ownership of such holder's shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock before, on or after December 1, 1999, and deposit the certificates representing such holder's shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock in accordance with the dissenters' notice. A shareholder who deposits such holder's shares as described in the dissenters' notice retains all other rights as a holder of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock except to the extent such rights are canceled or modified by the completion of the share exchange. A shareholder who does not demand payment and deposit his share certificates where required, each by the date stated in the dissenters' notice, is not entitled to payment for such holder's shares under Article 15 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

Except as provided below with respect to after-acquired shares, within thirty days after receipt of a payment demand, Insmed Incorporated shall pay the dissenter the amount that Insmed Incorporated estimates to be the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus accrued interest. The obligation of Insmed Incorporated to make such payment may be enforced:

. by the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond, Virginia; or

. at the election of any dissenter residing or having its principal office in Virginia, by the circuit court in the city or county where the dissenter resides or has such office.

The payment by Insmed Incorporated will be accompanied by:

. Insmed Pharmaceuticals' balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ended not more than sixteen months before the effective time of the reorganizations, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in shareholders' equity for that year and the latest available interim financial statements, if any;

. an explanation of how Insmed Incorporated estimated the fair value of the shares and of how the interest was calculated;

. a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment as described below; and

. a copy of Article 15 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

Insmed Incorporated may elect to withhold payment from a dissenter unless the dissenter was the beneficial owner of the shares subject to such rights to dissent on December 1, 1999 in which case Insmed Incorporated will estimate the fair value of such after-acquired shares, plus accrued interest, and will offer to pay such amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of such dissenter's demand. Insmed Incorporated will send with such offer an explanation of how it estimated the fair value of the shares and of how the interest was calculated, and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment as described below.

Within thirty days after Insmed Incorporated makes or offers payment as described above, a dissenter may notify Insmed Incorporated in writing of the dissenter's own estimate of the fair value of the shares and the amount of interest due, and demand payment of such estimate (less any payment by Insmed Incorporated) or reject Insmed Incorporated's offer and demand payment of such estimate.

If any such demand for payment remains unsettled, within sixty days after receiving the payment demand, Insmed Incorporated will petition the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond, Virginia to

75

determine the fair value of the shares and the accrued interest and make all dissenters whose demands remain unsettled parties to such proceeding, or pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded. Each dissenter made a party to such proceeding is entitled to a judgment for:

. the amount, if any, by which the court finds that the fair value of the shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by Insmed Incorporated; or

. the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the dissenter's after-acquired shares for which Insmed Incorporated elected to withhold payment.

The court will determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court and assess the costs against Insmed Incorporated, or against all or some of the dissenters to the extent the court finds the dissenters did not act in good faith in demanding payment.

The foregoing is only a summary of the rights of a dissenting holder of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock. Any holder of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock who intends to dissent from the reorganizations should carefully review the text of the applicable provisions of Article 15 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act in Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and should also consult with such holder's attorney.

The failure of a holder of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock to follow precisely the procedures summarized above, and stated in Annex D, may result in loss of dissenters' rights. No further notice of the events giving rise to dissenters' rights or any steps associated therewith will be furnished to holders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, except as indicated above or otherwise required by law.

In general, any dissenting shareholder who perfects such holder's right to be paid the fair value of such holder's Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock in cash will recognize taxable gain or loss for federal income tax purposes upon receipt of such cash. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Federal Securities Law Consequences; Resale Restrictions

All shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock that will be distributed to stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals in the reorganizations will be freely transferable, except for certain restrictions applicable to "affiliates" of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock received by persons who are deemed to be affiliates of Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals may be resold by them only in transactions permitted by the resale provisions of Rule 145 or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act of 1933. Persons who may be deemed affiliates of Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals generally include certain officers, directors and significant stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The reorganization agreement requires Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals to cause each of their affiliates to execute a written agreement to the effect that such persons will not sell or dispose of any of the shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock issued to them in the reorganizations unless the sale or disposition of such shares has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, is in conformity with Rule 145 or is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.

76

CERTAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT

This section describes the material provisions of the amended and restated reorganization agreement, dated as of February 9, 2000. Throughout this document, the amended and restated reorganization agreement will be referred to as the reorganization agreement. This description does not purport to be complete and is entirely qualified by reference to the reorganization agreement, a copy of which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and which is incorporated in this document by reference. All stockholders are urged to read the entire reorganization agreement carefully in its entirety.

The Reorganizations

Structure. In the reorganizations, Celtrix MergerSub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Incorporated, will be merged with and into Celtrix with Celtrix as the surviving corporation and the separate corporate existence of MergerSub will end. As a result, Celtrix will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Incorporated. In addition, Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated will conduct a share exchange by which non-dissenting Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders will exchange their shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals capital stock for shares of Insmed Incorporated capital stock. Following the share exchange, Insmed Pharmaceuticals will also be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Incorporated

Effective Time. The reorganizations will become effective on the latter of, the date of filing of certificate of merger relating to the merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or, the date of receipt of the certificate of exchange relating to the share exchange from the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia, or at such other date and time as is specified in the certificate of merger and articles of exchange. The certificate of merger and articles of exchange are expected to be filed as soon as practicable after the stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals have approved the reorganization proposal and all of the other conditions listed in the reorganization agreement have been satisfied or waived. Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix anticipate that the effective time of the reorganizations will occur in the second calendar quarter of 2000.

Share Conversion. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the reorganization agreement, each holder of Celtrix common stock will receive one
(1) share of Insmed Incorporated common stock in exchange for each share of Celtrix common stock held and each holder of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock will receive ___ shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock in exchange for each share of Celtrix preferred stock held. Each Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholder will receive 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each share of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series B Preferred Stock held. Cash will be paid instead of issuing fractional shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock.

Stock Options and Warrants. Each outstanding option to purchase Celtrix common stock as of the effective time of the merger will become a new option to acquire a number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock equal to the number of shares purchasable under the Celtrix option at a per share price equal to the exercise price under the Celtrix option. Pursuant to their terms, warrants exercisable for 1,938,047 shares of Celtrix common stock will expire as of April 1, 2000. In addition, the remaining outstanding warrants to purchase 970,000 shares of Celtrix common stock will terminate upon the earlier to occur of November 20, 2001 or the sale of substantially all of Celtrix's property or business, Celtrix's merger into or consolidation with another corporation, or any other transaction or series of transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of Celtrix is disposed. Each outstanding option or warrant to purchase Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock as of the effective time of the exchange

77

will become a new option or warrant, as the case may be, to acquire a number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock equal to the number of shares purchasable under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals option or warrant multiplied by 3.5 at a per share price equal to the exercise price under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals option or warrant, as the case may be, divided by 3.5 and rounded up to the nearest tenth of one cent.

DESCRIPTION OF INSMED INCORPORATED CAPITAL STOCK

This summary of the characteristics of Insmed Incorporated's capital stock is qualified in all respects by reference to the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, copies of which are attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, and incorporated herein by reference.

General

Presently the authorized capital stock of Insmed Incorporated consists of 500,000,000 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock and 200,000,000 shares of Insmed Incorporated preferred stock. There are 100 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock outstanding, all of which are owned by the sole shareholder of Insmed Incorporated, Insmed Pharmaceuticals. No shares of Insmed Incorporated preferred stock are outstanding. Assuming we close the proposed financing described in "Recent Developments" on page __, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reorganizations there shall be outstanding warrants to purchase 6,901,344 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock at a price of $2.25 per share.

Immediately following the effective time of the reorganizations, but before giving effect to the proposed financing described in "Recent Developments" on page __, former holders of Celtrix common stock and Celtrix preferred stock collectively will hold approximately 43.2% of the outstanding shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock on a fully diluted basis; and former holders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock collectively will hold approximately 56.8% of the outstanding shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock on a fully diluted basis.

Assuming the proposed financing is completed, immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganizations, the new investors, the former holders of Celtrix common and preferred stock and options exercisable into Celtrix common stock and the former holders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' common and preferred stock and options and warrants to purchase Insmed Pharmaceuticals' common stock will hold 22.0%, 33.7% and 44.3%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of Insmed Incorporated on a fully diluted basis.

Common Stock

Each share of Insmed Incorporated common stock entitles the holder to one vote in the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Holders of Insmed Incorporated common stock have no conversion or redemption rights and no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for securities of Insmed Incorporated. Holders of Insmed Incorporated common stock have no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Holders of Insmed Incorporated common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Insmed Incorporated board of directors out of funds legally available for distribution. Upon the liquidation of Insmed Incorporated, holders of Insmed Incorporated common stock will be entitled, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding Insmed Incorporated preferred stock, to receive pro rata all assets, if any, of Insmed Incorporated available for distribution after payment of necessary expenses and all prior claims.

Insmed Incorporated has applied to have its common stock listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the trading symbol "INSM."

91

Preferred Stock

The preferred stock may be issued, from time to time in one or more series, and the Insmed Incorporated board of directors, without further approval of the shareholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, conversion rights, voting rights and sinking fund provisions applicable to each such series of preferred stock. If Insmed Incorporated issues a series of preferred stock in the future that has voting rights or preferences over Insmed Incorporated common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and upon Insmed Incorporated's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the rights of the holders of Insmed Incorporated common stock offered hereby may be adversely affected. Insmed Incorporated may amend from time to time the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. This type of amendment would require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each series of preferred stock, if any, that is adversely affected by the amendment, voting separately by group and the approval of more than two-thirds of all the voting capital stock of Insmed Incorporated, voting as a single voting group. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, in an attempt to prevent an acquisition of Insmed Incorporated. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Insmed Incorporated has no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Change of Control Provisions

Other provisions that are intended to affect any attempted change of control in Insmed Incorporated govern the rights of Insmed Incorporated shareholders.

Board of Directors. Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals agreed in the reorganization agreement to provide for three classes of directors of Insmed Incorporated. One-third of the directors will be in each class, and one class of directors would be up for election at each annual meeting.

Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals. The Insmed Incorporated Amended and Restated Bylaws require a shareholder desiring to bring a proposal before an annual meeting of Insmed Incorporated shareholders to give proper written notice to the Secretary of Insmed Incorporated. Notice will be deemed proper if, in case of the 2001 annual meeting, it is delivered by November 6, 2000, and in case of subsequent annual meetings, it is delivered not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the first anniversary of the date of mailing of the Insmed Incorporated proxy statement in connection with the last preceding year's annual meeting.

The written notice delivered to the Secretary must include certain information and be in the proper form as specified in the Insmed Incorporated Amended and Restated Bylaws.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws specifically deny the shareholders the right to convene a special meeting of shareholders.

92

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. Subject to Virginia law, the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation generally may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding votes entitled to be cast by each voting group entitled to vote. However, certain provisions of the Articles of Incorporation may only be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75 percent of the outstanding votes entitled to be cast by each voting group entitled to vote.

If shareholder voting is required for an amendment to the Bylaws, 75 percent of the then outstanding stock voting together as a single voting group must vote in the affirmative to approve the amendment.

The total number of authorized shares of capital stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals is 37,000,000 shares, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 17,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 7,000,000 shares of which have been designated as Insmed Pharmaceuticals Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series A and 5,000,000 shares of which have been designated as Insmed Pharmaceuticals Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Celtrix. Under Delaware law, unless provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of a corporation, stockholders of a public corporation do not have the right to call a special meeting of stockholders. The Celtrix Bylaws provide that a special meeting of Celtrix stockholders may be called for any purpose by the board of directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President or by a stockholder holding ten percent of more of the aggregate number of shares entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Under Virginia law, unless provided in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, the shareholders of a corporation do not have a right to call a special meeting of shareholders. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals Bylaws provide that a special meeting of the shareholders may be called for any purpose at any time by the President or by a majority of the board of directors.

Insmed Incorporated. Under Virginia law, unless provided in the articles of incorporation or Bylaws of a corporation, shareholders of a public corporation do not have the right to call a special meeting of shareholders. The Insmed Incorporated Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that a special meeting of Insmed Incorporated shareholders may be called for any purpose by the President, the Chairman of the Board or by a majority of the board of directors.

Stockholder Meetings

Celtrix. On any issue to be determined at any meeting of stockholders, each Celtrix common stockholder receives one vote for each share of common stock owned by the stockholder, and each holder of preferred stock receives the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock that the holder would have received if the holder had converted the preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to the vote. Holders of Celtrix preferred stock are not entitled to vote; except that holders of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate voting group upon any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would create any series of stock that would be senior to the Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock or would change the rights of the holders of the Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock. In all elections of directors, an affirmative vote of the holders of the plurality of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors will approve the director nominees, unless there is cumulative voting. Cumulative voting is permitted under the Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the election of directors. Cumulative voting means that each share is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected. Such votes may be cast for one nominee or distributed among two or more nominees. Thus each nominee for election to the board of directors receiving the greatest number of votes, up to the number of directors then to be elected, will be the persons elected as directors of Celtrix. Except as specifically provided in the Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or Delaware law, other actions requiring stockholder approval generally require the vote of a majority of common shares represented at a meeting and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum exists.

94

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. On any issue to be determined at any meeting of shareholders, each Insmed Pharmaceuticals common shareholder receives one vote for each share of common stock owned by such shareholder, and each holder of preferred stock receives the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock that the holder would have received if the holder had converted the preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to the vote. Holders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals preferred stock vote together with the holders of common stock, including in the election of directors; except that the holders of the preferred stock vote together as a single voting group on certain matters, including, but not limited to, the redemption, creation or change in the rights of any series of preferred stock not junior to the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Series B Preferred Stock. Cumulative voting is not permitted under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation. In all elections of directors, directors are elected by an affirmative vote of the holders of the plurality of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting at which a quorum exists. Except as specifically provided in the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or Virginia law, other actions requiring shareholder approval, generally need the vote of a majority of shares represented at a meeting and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum exists for approval.

Insmed Incorporated. Insmed Incorporated common shareholders have one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Cumulative voting is not permitted under the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation. Except as specifically provided in the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation or Virginia law, other actions requiring shareholder approval generally require the vote of a majority of shares represented at a meeting and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum exists. In all elections of directors, directors are elected by an affirmative vote of the holders of the plurality of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting at which a quorum exists.

Advance Notice of Nominations of Directors

Celtrix. Celtrix stockholders can nominate candidates for the Celtrix board of directors if the stockholders follow the advance notice provisions contained in the Celtrix Bylaws. The Celtrix Bylaws require stockholder nominations in writing and delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the corporation not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the meeting is called upon less than 60 days' notice, the Secretary of the corporation must receive the stockholder nomination not less than 10 days after the notice of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the meeting was made. The stockholder nomination must provide the specific information about the candidate and the stockholder described in the Bylaws. If a stockholder nomination of a candidate for director does not comply with the applicable provisions of the Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall declare that the nomination was not made in accordance with the Celtrix Bylaws and is null, void and of no effect.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals Bylaws do not have special procedures for shareholders' submissions of nominations of candidates for the board of directors.

Insmed Incorporated. Insmed Incorporated shareholders can nominate candidates at an annual meeting for the Insmed Incorporated board of directors if the shareholder follows the advance notice provisions contained in the Insmed Incorporated Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Insmed Incorporated Amended and Restated Bylaws require a shareholder nominations in writing and delivered to the Secretary of Insmed Incorporated not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of the first mailing of Insmed Incorporated's proxy statement for the immediately preceding year's annual meeting. The shareholder nomination must provide the specific information about the candidate and the shareholder described in the Bylaws. If a shareholder nomination of a

95

candidate for director does not comply with the applicable provisions described in the Bylaws, the chairman of the board of directors shall have the power and duty to declare that the nomination was not made in accordance with the Insmed Incorporated Amended and Restated Bylaws and that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

Merger, Share Exchanges and Sales of Assets

Celtrix. Delaware law generally requires approval by the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of each voting group entitled to vote, unless a different vote is required by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, for any merger, share exchange or sale of all or substantially all the assets of a corporation not in the ordinary course of business. The Certificate of Incorporation of Celtrix does not specifically address mergers, share exchanges or sales of assets; therefore, the merger requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which is the only class of voting stock.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated. Virginia law generally requires that any merger or share exchange be approved by an affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of all the issued and outstanding shares of stock of each voting group entitled to vote, unless the Articles of Incorporation requires a different vote; provided, however, that shareholder action by the acquiring corporation in a share exchange is normally not required. The Articles of Incorporation of Insmed Incorporated do not specifically address mergers and share exchanges; therefore, the Insmed Incorporated sole shareholder need not vote. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation provide for separate class voting in the event of a merger or consolidation. Accordingly, the share exchange with Insmed Pharmaceuticals requires an affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of the outstanding Insmed Pharmaceuticals' capital stock and of a majority of the outstanding shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single voting group for approval.

Anti-takeover Statutes

Celtrix. Delaware law contains certain provisions that may have the effect of delaying or discouraging a hostile takeover. Delaware law prohibits a Delaware corporation from entering into a business combination with the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, or its affiliates, for a period of three years after the 15% beneficial owner achieved this level of ownership. Delaware law permits a business combination with a 15% beneficial owner if:

. prior to the date the stockholder becomes a 15% beneficial owner, the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the transaction that will result in the person or entity becoming a 15% beneficial owner;

. the interested stockholder acquires at least 85% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock (excluding shares owned by persons who are directors, officers and by certain employee stock plans) in the same transaction in which the stockholder becomes a 15% beneficial owner; or

. on or subsequent to the date of the transaction by which the stockholder becomes a 15% beneficial owner, the board of directors approves the business combination and the holders of two-thirds of the corporation's outstanding voting stock approve the transaction (not including shares owned by the 15% beneficial owners).

96

In general, a Delaware corporation must specifically elect, through an amendment to its Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation, not to be governed by these provisions. Celtrix has not made such an election and, therefore, is currently subject to these provisions of the Delaware law.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Incorporated. Virginia law contains two statutory provisions that may have the effect of delaying or discouraging a hostile takeover. Under the first statutory provision, if a person acquires 10% or more of the stock of a Virginia corporation without the prior approval of the corporation's board of directors, the person is deemed an "interested shareholder" and may not engage in certain transactions with the corporation (including a merger and a sale or exchange of greater than 5% of the corporation's net worth) for a period of three years, and then only with the specified supermajority shareholder vote, disinterested director approval or fair price and procedural protections. The three year prohibition on an affiliated transaction does not apply if prior to the affiliated transaction, a majority of the disinterested directors and holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares other than shares beneficially owned by the interested person approve the transaction. Virginia law permits a corporation to exempt itself from this statutory provision by placing a statement to that effect in its Articles of Incorporation. Furthermore, this statutory provision regarding affiliated transactions does not apply to corporations with fewer than 300 shareholders. Neither the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation nor the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation specifically address the Virginia statute regarding affiliated transactions; therefore, both corporations are subject to this provision.

Under the second statutory provision, Virginia law requires an interested person who acquires a threshold percentage of stock in the target corporation to obtain the approval of disinterested shareholders before the interested person may exercise its voting rights with respect to the acquired shares. Under the Virginia statute, certain notice and informational filings and special shareholder voting and meeting procedures must be followed prior to completing the purchase of stock that will provide the interested shareholder with the power to vote in excess of 20%, 33% or 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the company. Assuming compliance with notice and information filing requirements, the purchased stock will not provide the interested purchaser with any voting rights with respect to the stock until a majority of the outstanding disinterested shares vote to restore the voting rights to the purchased stock. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation do not specifically address the Virginia statute regarding control share acquisitions; therefore, Insmed Pharmaceuticals is subject to this provision. The Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation, however, provide that this second statutory provision does not apply to Insmed Incorporated; therefore, Insmed Incorporated is not subject to this provision.

Amendments to Charter

Celtrix. Delaware law provides generally, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, that a Delaware corporation's Certificate of Incorporation may be amended by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter. The Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation does not specifically address amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation; therefore, the Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation may be amended as provided under Delaware law.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Virginia law provides generally that, unless otherwise specified in a corporation's Articles of Incorporation, a Virginia corporation's Articles of Incorporation may be amended by the board of directors for certain minor alterations and otherwise upon recommendation of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each voting group entitled to vote on the matter. Generally under the Insmed

97

Pharmaceutical Articles of Incorporation an amendment to the Articles requires an affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series A, the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B and the Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single voting group. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation also provides that amendments specific to the rights, preferences and interests of the preferred stock must also be approved by at least a majority of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Series B Preferred Stock voting together as a single voting group.

Insmed Incorporated. Virginia law provides generally that, unless otherwise specified in a corporation's Articles of Incorporation, a Virginia corporation's Articles of Incorporation may be amended by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each voting group entitled to vote on the matter. The Articles of Incorporation of Insmed Incorporated provide that a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of each voting group entitled to vote is required to amend the Articles of Incorporation.

Amendments to Bylaws

Celtrix. Delaware law provides that the board of directors of a corporation may amend the Bylaws of the corporation if such authority is granted in the Certificate of Incorporation. The Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation does not grant the power to amend the Bylaws to the board of directors.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals Bylaws provide generally for amendment by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors; provided, however, that any provision of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Bylaws adopted or required to be adopted pursuant to Virginia law, by the shareholders of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, may only be amended by the affirmative vote of the majority of the holders of the outstanding capital stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals entitled to vote thereon.

Insmed Incorporated. The Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide generally that the Insmed Incorporated Bylaws may be amended by the Insmed Incorporated board; provided, however, that any provision of the Insmed Incorporated Bylaws adopted or required to be adopted pursuant to Virginia law by the shareholders of Insmed Incorporated, may only be amended by the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the holders of the outstanding capital stock of Insmed Incorporated entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single voting group.

Appraisal Rights

Celtrix. Celtrix is a Delaware corporation. Under Delaware law, certain stockholders have a right to dissent from a merger or reorganization and receive payment in cash for their shares of common stock. However, dissenters' rights (sometimes referred to as "appraisal rights") are not available to stockholders of a corporation whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or held by at least 2,000 record stockholders and whose stockholders are not required to accept in exchange for their stock anything other than stock of another corporation listed on a national securities exchange and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Because Celtrix common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market and is not held by more than 2,000 record stockholders, Celtrix stockholders will have appraisal rights with respect to the reorganizations. To exercise their appraisal rights, Celtrix stockholders must follow specific procedural requirements under Delaware law as described under "Dissenters' Rights" on page ___.

98

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Insmed Pharmaceuticals is a Virginia corporation. Under Virginia law, shareholders have a right to dissent from, and receive payment of the fair value of their shares in case of a merger, share exchange or similar corporate event if the shareholders are entitled to vote with respect to the corporate action. Dissenters' rights are not available, however, to shareholders of a corporation whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market or are held by at least 2,000 record shareholders, unless the shareholders are required to accept in exchange for their stock something other than cash or stock of the surviving corporation or any other corporations that are either listed on a national securities exchange or held by at least 2,000 record shareholders. Because Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock is not traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market and is not held by at least 2,000 record shareholders, Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders will have appraisal rights with respect to the share exchange. To exercise their appraisal rights, Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders must follow the specific procedural requirements under Virginia Law as described under "Dissenters' Rights" on page ___.

Transfer Restrictions

Insmed Incorporated, Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Each of the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation, the Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation and the Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation does not establish transfer restrictions on the original issuance or transfer of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock, Celtrix common stock or Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, as the case may be.

With respect to the Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, however, there is no public trading market. The shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under other applicable federal and state securities laws. Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock may not be transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to Insmed Pharmaceuticals that the transfer of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock is exempt from state and federal registration requirements.

All shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock to be distributed to stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals in the reorganizations will be freely transferable, except for certain restrictions applicable to "affiliates" of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock received by persons who are deemed to be affiliates of Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals may be resold by them only in transactions permitted by the resale provisions of Rule 145 or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act of 1933. Persons who may be deemed affiliates of Celtrix or Insmed Pharmaceuticals generally include certain officers, directors and significant stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The reorganization agreement requires Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals to cause each of their affiliates to execute a written agreement to the effect that such persons will not sell or dispose of any of the shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock issued to them in the reorganizations unless the sale or disposition of such shares has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, conforms with Rule 145 or is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Celtrix. The Bylaws of Celtrix permit the stockholders to take any action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders to be taken by written consent without a meeting. The written consent must be signed by the stockholders owning not less than the minimum

99

number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The Bylaws of Insmed Pharmaceuticals permit the shareholders to take any action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders to be taken by written consent without a meeting. The written consent must be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the action.

Insmed Incorporated. Pursuant to Virginia law, any action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of Insmed Incorporated, may be taken by written consent without a meeting. The written consent must be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the action.

Board of Directors

Celtrix. The Celtrix board of directors currently consists of five directors. The Celtrix Bylaws provide that there shall be five directors on the board of the company. Celtrix directors stand for reelection at each annual meeting. Under Delaware law, directors are elected by a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and entitled to vote on the election of directors, unless there is cumulative voting. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Celtrix provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows each stockholder to multiply the number of votes that the stockholder is entitled to cast by the number of directors for whom the stockholder is to vote and cast all of the votes for a single nominee or distribute the votes amongst the nominees. Under Celtrix's Bylaws, any vacancy, whether the result of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office for cause or an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled by a majority of the board of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. The term of any director elected to fill a vacancy shall be the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. The stockholders of Celtrix may remove a director, with or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, however, that if less than the entire board is removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director's removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals board currently consists of seven directors. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the board of directors may increase or decrease the number of directors by a number that is 30% or less of the number of directors last elected by shareholders. Insmed Pharmaceuticals directors stand for reelection at each annual meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present. Under both Virginia law and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Bylaws, vacancies, whether by resignation, death or removal or because of an increase in the size of the board, may be filled by the remaining members of the board of directors even if less than a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy will serve until the next shareholders' meeting at which directors are elected. Insmed Pharmaceuticals' Bylaws provide that directors may be removed with or without cause by the vote of a majority of the shares of the voting groups that elected such director entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Insmed Incorporated. Under the Insmed Incorporated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, the board will consist of seven directors. Insmed Incorporated directors stand for reelection at each annual meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present. Under Virginia law, vacancies, whether by resignation, death or removal or because of an

100

increase in the size of the board, may be filled by the remaining members of the board of directors although less than a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy will serve until the next shareholders' meeting at which directors are elected. Virginia law provides that directors may be removed with or without cause by the vote of a majority of the shares of the voting groups that elected such director entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Limitation of Director Liability

Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The Articles of Incorporation of Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals contain provisions that limit the liability of the directors and officers of Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals as permitted under Virginia law. The provisions eliminate the liability of the Insmed Incorporated directors and officers to Insmed Incorporated or its shareholders and eliminate the liability of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals directors and officers to Insmed Pharmaceuticals and its shareholders for monetary damages for negligent or grossly negligent acts or omissions in their capacity as directors or officers, as the case may be. The provisions in the Articles of Incorporation of Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals do not, however, eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer resulting from such person's willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals, any amendment or repeal of the applicable provisions in the Articles of Incorporation of Insmed Incorporated or Insmed Pharmaceuticals, as the case may be, will not affect the limitation of liability of directors and officers.

Celtrix. The Certificate of Incorporation of Celtrix contains a provision that limits the liability of Celtrix's directors for breaches of fiduciary duty as permitted under Delaware law. The provision eliminates the liability of a director to Celtrix or its stockholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation will not limit or eliminate the directors' exculpation from liability.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

Celtrix. Delaware law permits corporations to indemnify their directors, officers and employees for liabilities incurred by them because of service as directors, officers or employees of their corporations or of other corporations and entities at the request of their corporations. Celtrix has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers that may require Celtrix, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, to advance their expenses as incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance if available on reasonable terms. Under Delaware law, indemnification is permitted if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the corporation's best interest, and in a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Celtrix provide that the directors, officers and employees of Celtrix shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted or required by Delaware law. Delaware law does not permit indemnification in the following circumstances:

. breach of a director's duty of loyalty to a corporation or its stockholders;

101

. acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

. unlawful distributions; and

. transactions from which a director received an improper personal benefit.

Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Virginia law permits a corporation to provide indemnification of reasonable expenses for officers, directors, employees or agents of the corporation (or any such person serving in such capacities for another entity at the request of the corporation) who are parties or are threatened to be made parties to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred. Indemnification is permitted in all instances, except indemnity against willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law. Each of the Insmed Incorporated and Insmed Pharmaceuticals Articles of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of liabilities of each person incurred by reason of serving as a director, officer, employee or agent or by reason of serving as a director, officer, trustee, or in some similar capacity, of another corporation in all instances, except, in the case of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, in a criminal proceeding unless the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful and in the case of Insmed Incorporated, where the indemnitee engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. Virginia law does not permit indemnification in the following circumstances:

. proceedings by and in the right of the corporation, in which the director is determined to be liable to the corporation; and

. transactions from which a director received an improper personal benefit.

102

INSMED INCORPORATED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the accounting for the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Insmed Incorporated is a holding company formed by Insmed Pharmaceuticals in order to facilitate the reorganizations in accordance with the reorganization agreement. The reorganization agreement provides that:

. each share of issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals will be exchanged for 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock;

. each outstanding share of common stock of Celtrix will be exchanged for one share of Insmed Incorporated common stock; and

. each share of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends, will be exchanged on an as converted basis, by applying the conversion ratio of $2.006 specified in the Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation into one share of Insmed Incorporated common stock.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based upon and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix, including the notes thereto, which are attached beginning on page F-1 in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1999, gives effect to the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals and related transactions as if they occurred on December 31, 1999. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the exchange of shares described above and in note 1, reflects the expected allocation of the purchase price described in note 2, the formation of Insmed Incorporated and the $34.5 million equity financing described in "Recent Developments" on page ___.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 gives effect to the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals and related transactions as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1999. Celtrix's fiscal year end is March 31, 1999. Therefore, for the purpose of the historical data included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1999, the unaudited financial data from the nine months ended December 31, 1999, was combined with the unaudited financial data for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations does not (a) purport to represent what the results of operations actually would have been if the acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals and the other transactions described below had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results will be for any future periods or (b) give effect to certain nonrecurring charges expected to result from the transaction.

The historical basis of Insmed Pharmaceuticals assets and liabilities will carry over to Insmed Incorporated. The acquisition of Celtrix will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, so the total purchase costs of the acquisition will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair values. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on an independent third-party valuation. This valuation has not yet been finalized. Therefore the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change. Upon completion of the reorganization the

108

amount of purchase price allocated to tangible assets acquired, in process research and development and liabilities assumed, could differ from the amounts and allocation discussed in Note 2. Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix are not aware of any significant unrecorded obligations or contingencies, and do not believe that the final purchase price allocation will differ materially from that included in the pro forma financial information contained herein. The final allocation of the purchase price will be made based upon valuations and other studies that have not been completed.

In addition, Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix expect to incur approximately $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in costs directly attributable to the reorganizations. The $2.0 million of transaction costs Insmed Pharmaceuticals expects to incur have been included in the determination of the preliminary purchase price. The $1.5 million Celtrix expects to incur will be expensed as incurred and have not been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations as they are nonrecurring charges.

We expect that Insmed Incorporated will incur certain expenses as a result of combining the companies; however, the unaudited pro forma earnings per share data does not reflect any of these anticipated expenses.

Number of Pro Forma Shares Outstanding at December 31, 1999                                   99,305,641
                                                                                             ===========


1. As of December 31, 1999, there are 8,010 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. These shares have a par value of $1,000 per share. Dividends accreted and unpaid related to this stock were $280,899 at December 31, 1999. The aggregate par value and dividends are convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share, which would provide for the issuance of 4,133,050 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock if the transaction occurred on December 31, 1999.

2. These shares represent common stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals issuable upon closing the $34.5 million equity financing. This transaction is fully described in "Recent Developments" on page ___.

The above table is based on the respective companies' capitalization at December 31, 1999, using the conversion ratio of 1 share of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each share of Celtrix common stock and 3.5 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock for each share of Insmed Pharmaceuticals stock. No exercise of options or warrants outstanding at December 31, 1999 was assumed.

In connection with the purchase of Celtrix, Insmed Incorporated expects approximately $54.4 million of the purchase price to be allocated to in-process research and development. Insmed Pharmaceuticals management has engaged an independent third-party appraisal company to perform a valuation of the intangible assets acquired. The valuation is expected to be completed at closing. It is expected that Insmed Incorporated will enter into various corporate collaborations and agreements to manufacture, market, distribute, and develop the in-process research and development acquired in the purchase of Celtrix. The terms and conditions of these agreements could differ substantially from the assumptions made by management. It is also likely that the terms and conditions of existing corporate collaboration

112

agreements could be amended or terminated, which could also significantly effect the assumptions associated with the in-process projects.

The value assigned to purchased in-process research and development was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process research and development into commercially viable products; estimating the resulting net cash flows from such projects; and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value.

The nature of the efforts to develop the purchased in-process research and development into commercially viable products, principally relates to the completion and/or acceleration of existing development programs, including the mandatory completion of several phases of clinical trials and the general and administrative costs necessary to manage the projects and trials. Assuming the approval of the drug by the FDA, costs related to the wide scale manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of the drugs are included in the projection. The resulting net cash flows from such projects are based on Insmed Incorporated management's estimates of revenues, cost of sales, research and development costs, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and the anticipated income tax effect.

The discounting of net cash flows back to their present value is based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC calculation produces the average required rate of return of an investment in an operating enterprise, based on various required rates of return from investments in various areas of that enterprise. The discount rates utilized in discounting the net cash flows from purchased in-process research and development range from 33% to 45%. These discount rates may be higher than the WACC due to the inherent uncertainties surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process research and development.

The forecast data employed in the analyses was based upon internal product level forecast information maintained by Celtrix management in the ordinary course of managing its business. Insmed Incorporated management has reviewed and challenged the forecast data and related assumptions and utilized the information in analyzing in-process research and development. The forecast data and assumptions are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. However, based upon the information available at this time Insmed Incorporated management believes the forecast data and assumptions to be reasonable. These assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and no assurance can be given that unanticipated events and circumstances will not occur. Accordingly, actual results may vary from the forecasted results. Any such variance may result in a material adverse effect on Insmed Incorporated's financial condition and results of operations.

In the allocation of purchase price to the IPR&D, the concept of alternative future use was specifically considered for each the programs under development. The acquired IPR&D consists of Celtrix's work to complete each of the identified programs. The programs are very specific to the disease and market for which they are intended. There are no alternative uses for the in-process programs in the event that the programs fail in clinical trials or are otherwise not feasible. The development effort for the acquired IPR&D does not possess an alternative future use for Insmed Incorporated as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

Below is a brief description of in-process research and development projects including an estimation of when management believes Insmed Incorporated may realize revenues from the sale of these products in the respective application.

SomatoKine: Diabetes

Diabetes is typically characterized by the inadequate production or utilization of insulin. Insulin is a vital hormone needed by the body for normal control of blood glucose levels. The findings from a Phase II study in 12 patients to treat patients with Type-I diabetes suggests that SomatoKine is a potential therapeutic for improving insulin sensitivity in both Type-I and Type-II diabetes and helping patients to manage their disease, thus avoiding the complications which ultimately accompany the disease. Several additional studies will be required to develop the product for this indication. We expect to resume Phase II trials immediately.

A discount rate of 35% was utilized in discounting these estimated cash flows.

SomatoKine: Severe Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a chronic, debilitating disorder in which the bones become increasingly porous, brittle and subject to fracture. Management believes the findings from a Phase II feasibility study in hip fracture patients present an argument for further development of SomatoKine for the treatment of severe osteoporosis. The Phase II study suggests that a relatively short period of treatment with SomatoKine offers the potential to restore the patient's bone mineral density and improve supportive muscle strength as opposed to current treatments which are used primarily to prevent further bone loss. We expect to begin a second Phase II study later this year.

A discount rate of 34% was utilized in discounting these estimated cash flows.

SomatoKine: Protein Wasting and Severe Burns

Many critically ill patients suffer from serious protein wasting conditions, which contribute to physical weakness and increase their risk of morbidity and mortality. The results for the Phase II study conducted in burn patients demonstrates potential efficacy for SomatoKine to treat serious medical conditions associated with muscle and weight loss, and provides further evidence supporting the use of SomatoKine to treat wasting diseases associated with cancer cachexia, AIDS and advanced kidney failure. A discount rate of 45% was utilized in discounting these estimated cash flows.

In persons suffering from traumatic burns over at least 20% of their body surface, very low levels of IGF-I, along with major tissue damage are associated with the disruption of biological processes that are essential for healing and protections from burn complications. In a Phase II study conducted within this population patients who received SomatoKine through two skin graft cycles indicated substantial improvement in restoring the balance between protein synthesis and degradation which is a prerequisite for accelerated wound healing and reduced hospital stay. A discount rate of 33% was utilized in discounting these estimated cash flows.

The value of protein wasting and severe burn indications is low in relation to diabetes and severe osteoporosis. We will defer further trials in these indications until we obtain additional data from the planned studies for the more valuable indications.

TGF-beta-2: Dermal Ulcer

Celtrix entered into a product development, license and marketing agreement with Genzyme in June 1994 for TGF-beta-2. The objective is to commercialize this product for tissue repair and treatment of systemic applications. A discount rate of 34% was utilized in discounting these estimated cash flows.

Management has budgeted approximately $5.0 million in 2000 to continue the development and clinical trial studies of SomatoKine for its applications in diabetes and severe osteoporosis. The results of these trials will dictate the amount of future funds and company resources that may be ultimately dedicated to

114

these projects. These results may lead management to conclude to continue development, revise or postpone development plans, or possibly terminate the pursuit of SomatoKine commercialization for one or both of these applications.

The total acquisition cost is estimated to be approximately $71.5 million, determined as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of Insmed Incorporated shares(1)                        $59,823
Fair value of Insmed Incorporated Stock Options(2)                   9,697

                                                                   $71,520
                                                               ===========

1. The fair value per share was calculated by averaging the Celtrix closing price for the five days prior to and subsequent to the signing of the definitive reorganization agreement on November 30, 1999. The result of this calculation is $1.94886 which was multiplied by the shares outstanding on an as converted basis as of November 30, 1999 of 30,646,461.

2. Options and warrants outstanding at November 30, 1999 of 10,244,113 were multiplied by the fair value of each grant. The fair value of these options and warrants were estimated as of November 30, 1999 using the Black-Scholes pricing method assuming a risk free interest rate of 6.0%, no dividends, a volatility factor of .801, and a weighted average exercise price of .33 to .50 years. The application of this method resulted in a fair value per option and warrant between $0.01 and $1.41.

3. Under purchase accounting the $2.0 million in transaction costs Insmed Pharmaceuticals expects to incur are included in the determination of the purchase price. The $1.5 million in transaction costs Celtrix expects to incur will be expensed as incurred.

Based upon preliminary estimate of the valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, Insmed Pharmaceuticals has allocated the total cost of the purchase to the net assets of Celtrix, as follows (in thousands):

The in-process research and development has been written off against the consolidated accumulated deficit. Because the charge is nonrecurring, it has not been reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 2

The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet includes the adjustments necessary to give effect to the reorganizations as if the reorganizations had occurred on December 31, 1999 and to reflect the allocation of the acquisition cost to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as noted above, including a charge to accumulated deficit for acquired in-process research and development and the elimination of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals' equity accounts. Adjustments included in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet are summarized as follows (in thousands except share and per share amounts):

(A) Increase the accrual for Insmed Pharmaceuticals' estimated transaction- related costs to $2,000,000 principally for investment banking, legal and accounting services. Approximately $376,000 has been incurred through 12/31/99.

(B) The exchange of Celtrix preferred stock and cumulative dividends on an as converted basis into 4,133,050 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock at the exchange ratio prescribed in the Celtrix Certificate of Incorporation.

(C) Conversion of Insmed Pharmaceuticals Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series A and Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B into 34,042,260 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock.

(D) Conversion of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix common stock into 61,130,331 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock.

(E) Elimination of Celtrix accumulated deficit.

(F) Charge to operations for in-process research and development of $54,433.

(G) Sale of 5,632,678 shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock, before the merger, and sale of warrants to purchase 6,901,344 shares of common stock of Insmed Incorporated. Proceeds, net of estimated transaction costs of $1.9 million, are expected to approximate $32.6 million.

(H) Adjustment of net assets based upon purchase price allocation.

(I) Reclassification of the estimated transaction costs incurred by Insmed Pharmaceuticals to reflect their inclusion in the determination of the preliminary purchase price.

(J) Record amount allocated to goodwill of $15,954 and amortization expense in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations based on an amortization period of twenty years.

Note 3

Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share amounts for the year ended December 31, 1999, are based upon the estimated weighted-average number of shares expected to be outstanding subsequent to the reorganizations. The determination of the pro-forma weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share is included in the table in Note 1 on page __. The impact of outstanding options and warrants, including Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix options converted, is not included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive.

Compensation of Celtrix Directors

Celtrix reimburses directors for out-of-pocket travel expenses associated with their attendance at board meetings. During fiscal 1999, Celtrix paid independent non-employee directors Blair and Sherman a fee of $1,500 for each meeting of the board of directors attended.

Independent non-employee directors holding less than 2% of Celtrix's common stock participate in Celtrix's 1991 Directors' Option Plan. Celtrix automatically grants these directors options to purchase shares of common stock on the terms and conditions stated in the Celtrix directors' plan. Additionally, the board may grant non-employee directors option grants under the Celtrix 1991 Stock Option Plan. During the year ended March 31, 1999, Celtrix granted the following:

Name                          Options Granted            Exercise Price
---------------------     ---------------------      --------------------
Harry E. Blair                        3,333                    $2.875
                                     40,000                    $1.688
                                     10,001                    $2.875
Barry M. Sherman                     40,000                    $1.688
                                      5,000                    $2.875

Except for the option grant of 3,333 shares to director Blair, the options granted under the Celtrix directors' plan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, are exercisable with respect to 1/4th of the shares granted on the first anniversary of the grant date, and 1/48th per month thereafter. The 3,333 options granted to director Blair under the Celtrix directors' plan are exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date. Options granted under the Celtrix 1991 Stock Option Plan are exercisable with respect to 12% of the shares granted six months after the grant date, and 2% per month thereafter.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganizations, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Celtrix common stock, including those options held by Celtrix officers and directors, will be fully vested and exercisable.

Celtrix Compensation Committee Report On Executive Compensation

The Celtrix compensation committee of the board of directors sets and administers the policies for executive salaries and short-term and long-term incentive programs. The committee currently consists of Henry E. Blair and James E. Thomas, non-employee directors of Celtrix. Andreas Sommer, Celtrix's President and CEO, attends meetings of the Celtrix compensation committee in an unofficial capacity.

121

Compensation Philosophy. The executive compensation program is designed to motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability who contribute to the long-term success of Celtrix and is based on the following guiding principles:

. Integrate executives' compensation with accomplishment of Celtrix's strategic plan and business objectives.

. Provide a compensation package that is competitive with comparable companies in the biotechnology industry.

. Assure that executives are focused on the enhancement of stockholder value.

Compensation Program. Compensation for Celtrix's Chief Executive Officer and other officers is based on individual performance as measured against clearly defined corporate objectives. The board of directors approves corporate objectives at the beginning of the fiscal year and reviews progress throughout the year. The Celtrix compensation committee determines executive compensation based on the accomplishment of those objectives. The Celtrix board identified corporate objectives for fiscal 1999 in the areas of product development, strategic corporate alliances, and financing milestones. Executives' performance was measured against these specific objectives.

The primary components of executives' compensation are:

. base salary,

. long-term equity incentives,

. cash bonus.

The Celtrix compensation committee's goal in setting annual base salaries is to be at the median salary level for similar positions in companies of comparable size, geographic location (San Francisco Bay Area) and industry sector (biopharmaceuticals) within the biotechnology industry. To determine these levels, the committee refers to compensation survey data from a select group of companies participating in the Radford Biotechnology Salary Survey. All of these companies are also in the Nasdaq Pharmaceutical Stocks Index used in Celtrix's stock price performance graph described in the section entitled "Celtrix Performance Graph" on page ___. Each year, the list of companies participating in the survey is reviewed, and additions or deletions are made to the select group of companies based on the three criteria used (size, geographic location, industry sector).

Stock option awards are intended to align the interests of the executives with those of the stockholders and provide significant incentive to meet Celtrix's long-term goals and enhance stockholder value. Stock options are granted at fair market value and vest over a 50-month period. In determining the size of the option grants, several factors are considered: size of previous awards made to executives, competitive practices at similar companies within the industry and perceived long-term contribution.

In addition to the award of stock options, the Celtrix compensation committee also awarded cash bonuses to the officers of Celtrix in April 1998 in recognition of each individual's unique contribution with respect to attainment of certain corporate and individual milestones. When evaluating and deciding on cash bonuses, the Celtrix compensation committee gives consideration to the individual's contribution towards Celtrix's success and for progress made towards the development of pharmaceutical products. Accordingly, in March 1998, the Celtrix compensation committee approved cash bonuses to officers and

122

certain senior managers for their achievement of company objectives during fiscal 1998; the bonuses were paid in April 1998. There were no cash bonuses paid to officers in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

Compensation of the Celtrix Chief Executive Officer. The CEO's compensation is determined based on a number of factors, including comparative salaries of CEOs of the select group of companies identified above, the CEO's individual performance and Celtrix's performance as measured against the stated objectives discussed above. Current base salary for the CEO is in line with the median for similarly situated executives in other companies of comparable size in the biotechnology industry. The CEO's total compensation package includes stock option grants and cash bonus with the goal of motivating leadership for long-term company success and providing significant reward upon achievement of company objectives and enhancing stockholder value. As with other executives, size of option grants is also based on a review of competitive survey data.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation. The Celtrix compensation committee has considered the impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code adopted under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which section disallows a deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the CEO and the four other most highly compensated executive officers, unless this compensation meets the requirements for the performance-based exception to the general rule. Since the cash compensation paid by Celtrix to each of its executive officers is expected to be well below $1 million and the committee believes that options granted under the Celtrix 1991 Stock Option Plan will meet the requirements for the "performance-based" exemption of Section 162(m), the committee believes that this section will not affect the tax deductions available to Celtrix. It will be the Celtrix compensation committee's policy to qualify, to the extent reasonable, the executive officers' compensation for deductibility under applicable tax law.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Celtrix's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of Celtrix's equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Celtrix common stock and other equity securities of Celtrix. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish Celtrix with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To Celtrix's knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of such reports furnished to Celtrix and written representations from officers and directors that no other reports were required, during

DESCRIPTION OF INSMED INCORPORATED

Business Overview

Insmed Incorporated is a newly formed Virginia corporation that has not, to date, conducted any activities other than those incident to its formation, its execution of the reorganization agreement and related documents, its preparation of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the adoption of the Insmed Incorporated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan and the Insmed Incorporated 2000 Stock Purchase Plan described below and the negotiation and execution of the financing described under "Recent Developments" on page __. Because of the reorganizations, Insmed Incorporated will become a holding company for Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals such that Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Insmed Incorporated and each of Celtrix and Insmed Pharmaceuticals will continue to conduct the businesses that they are currently conducting. Insmed Incorporated's headquarters will be at 800 East Leigh Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219 and its telephone number will be (804) 828-6893.

The Stock Incentive Plan

The board of directors of Insmed Incorporated has adopted and the sole shareholder of Insmed Incorporated has approved the Insmed Incorporated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to the approval of the reorganizations by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals shareholders and the Celtrix stockholders and completion of the reorganizations. The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to attract and retain executive officers, key employees, non-employee directors and other non-employee advisors and service providers, and to align more closely the interests of those persons with the interests of shareholders.

The following paragraphs summarize the principal features of the Stock Incentive Plan. This summary is subject, in all respects, to the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. Insmed Incorporated will provide promptly, upon request and without charge, a copy of the full text of the Stock Incentive Plan to any person to whom a copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus is delivered.

Summary of the Stock Incentive Plan

Administration. The Insmed Incorporated board of directors and the Insmed Incorporated compensation committee (or such other committee of the Insmed Incorporated board of directors which is composed solely of persons who satisfy the "non-employee director" and "outside director" requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of the Code) administers the Stock Incentive Plan. The Insmed Incorporated board of directors, the Insmed Incorporated compensation committee or such other committee may delegate its authority and responsibilities under the Stock Incentive Plan to one or more officers of Insmed Incorporated, but the Insmed Incorporated board of directors, the Insmed Incorporated compensation committee or such other committee may not delegate authority with respect to grants and awards to individuals subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As used in this summary, the term "Administrator" means the Insmed Incorporated board of directors, the Insmed Incorporated compensation committee or such other committee or a delegate, as appropriate. The Administrator generally has the authority, within limitations described in the Stock Incentive Plan:

. to establish rules and policies concerning the Stock Incentive Plan;

. to determine the persons to whom stock options, awards of Insmed Incorporated common stock and performance shares may be granted;

127

. to fix the number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock to be covered by each award;

. to set the terms of each award; and

. to accelerate, upon a change of control or at such other time as the administrator determines in its discretion, the time at which any option may be exercised, the time at which a stock award may become transferable or nonforfeitable, or the time at which an award of performance shares may be settled.

Each type of award is described below.

Eligibility. Each employee of Insmed Incorporated or a subsidiary corporation of Insmed Incorporated, including an employee who is a member of Insmed Incorporated's board of directors, each non-employee member of the Insmed Incorporated board of directors, and each other non-employee advisor or service provider of Insmed Incorporated or a subsidiary corporation is eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan. The Administrator selects the individuals who will participate in the Stock Incentive Plan. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, no Stock Incentive Plan participant may be granted, in any calendar year, options for more than 1,000,000 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock. Further, no Stock Incentive Plan participant may be granted, in any calendar year, an award of more than 500,000 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock or an award of more than 500,000 performance shares.

Options. A stock option entitles a Stock Incentive Plan participant to purchase shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock from Insmed Incorporated at the option price. The option price may be paid in cash, with shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock, with a combination of cash and shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock, or by instructing a broker to deliver the exercise price to Insmed Incorporated through the sale of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock purchased under the option. The option price is fixed by the Administrator at the time the company grants the option, but the price cannot be less than the shares' fair market value on the date of grant in the case of an option intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan may be ISOs or nonqualified options. The differences between these two types of options are discussed below under "Federal Income Taxes."

If provided in the option agreement, the Administrator may grant nonqualified options that are transferable to a Stock Incentive Plan participant's spouse, children or grandchildren, to trusts for the benefit of such persons, or to partnerships in which those persons are the only partners, or to such other persons or entities as the Administrator may permit, on such terms and conditions as may be permitted from time to time under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The option will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions following the transfer, and no such transferee may transfer the option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Stock Awards. Stock Incentive Plan participants may be awarded shares of restricted Insmed Incorporated common stock and stock awards not subject to restrictions. A Stock Incentive Plan participant's rights in a restricted stock award are nontransferable or forfeitable or both unless certain conditions prescribed by the Administrator, in its discretion, are satisfied. These conditions may include, for example:

128

. continued employment or service with Insmed Incorporated or a subsidiary corporation for a specified period;

. achievement by Insmed Incorporated or a subsidiary corporation of performance-related objectives such as those measured with respect to:

.. fair market value of Insmed Incorporated common stock; .. Insmed Incorporated common stock price appreciation; .. gross revenues, operating profit or net earnings before or after taxes,
.. return on equity;
.. earnings per share; .. total earnings;
.. earnings growth;
.. return on capital;
.. return on assets,
.. return on sales;
.. cash flow per share; .. book value per share; .. market share;
.. economic value added; .. market value added; .. productivity;
.. level of expenses;
.. new product development; .. peer group comparisons of any of the foregoing; or .. other measures the Administrator may select.

Performance Share Awards. The Stock Incentive Plan also provides for the award of performance shares. A performance share award entitles the Stock Incentive Plan participant to receive a payment equal to the fair market value of a specified number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock if certain standards are met. The Administrator prescribes the requirements that must be satisfied before a participant earns a performance share award. Those requirements may be based on:

. the fair market value of Insmed Incorporated common stock;

. Insmed Incorporated common stock price appreciation;

. gross revenues, operating profit, or net earnings before or after taxes;

. return on equity;

. earnings per share;

. total earnings;

. earnings growth;

. return on capital;

129

. return on assets;

. return on sales;

. cash flow per share;

. book value per share;

. market share;

. economic value added;

. market value added;

. productivity;

. level of expenses;

. new product development;

. peer group comparisons of any of the foregoing or

. other measures as the Administrator may select.

To the extent an individual earns performance shares, the obligation may be settled:

. in cash;

. in shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock; or

. a combination of the two.

If provided in the performance shares agreement, the Administrator may also grant performance shares that are transferable, subject to the same general conditions described above under "Options."

Share Authorization. All awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan are evidenced by written agreements between Insmed Incorporated and the Stock Incentive Plan participant. The maximum number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock that may be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan upon its adoption by the board of directors of Insmed Incorporated is 12,000,000 shares. That maximum will be increased each January 1 during the term of the Stock Incentive Plan by a number of shares equal to 1.0% of the number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock outstanding on the preceding December 31. In no event, however, may the annual increases cause the maximum number of shares issued under the Stock Incentive Plan to exceed 25,000,000 shares. The maximum share authorization, the individual annual award limits, and the terms of outstanding awards will be adjusted as the Administrator determines appropriate in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization or similar event.

Termination and Amendment. No award may be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan more than ten years after the earlier of the date that the Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by Insmed Incorporated's board of directors or the date that it was approved by Insmed Incorporated's sole

shareholder. Insmed Incorporated's board of directors may amend or terminate the Stock Incentive Plan at any time, but an amendment will not become effective without shareholder approval if the amendment materially increases the aggregate number of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock that may be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan (other than equitable adjustments on certain corporate transactions).

Awards. Shares issued under the Stock Incentive Plan will include those issued pursuant to Insmed Incorporated's assumption of the obligations of Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix under stock options outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the reorganizations. In connection with the reorganizations, Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix will amend their outstanding options to provide that those options are exercisable for Insmed Incorporated common stock following the completion of the reorganizations. For information on the Celtrix option plans, see "Description of Celtrix -- Stock Option Plans" on page ___. For information on the Insmed Pharmaceuticals option plan, see "Description of Insmed Pharmaceuticals -- Stock Option Plans." Up to 7,373,091 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock may be issued on the exercise of former Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Celtrix options.

Federal Income Taxes. A Stock Incentive Plan participant does not recognize income at the time an option is granted. If the option is an ISO, the participant will not recognize income upon exercise of the option. A Stock Incentive Plan participant recognizes income when he disposes of shares acquired under an ISO. ISOs may be granted only to employees of Insmed Incorporated and its subsidiaries. The exercise of a nonqualified option generally is a taxable event that requires the Stock Incentive Plan participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the difference between the shares' fair market value and the option price.

A Stock Incentive Plan participant will recognize income on account of a stock award on the first day that the shares are either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The amount of income recognized by the Stock Incentive Plan participant equals the fair market value of the shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock received on that date.

A Stock Incentive Plan participant will recognize income on account of the settlement of a performance share award. A Stock Incentive Plan participant will recognize income equal to any cash that is paid and the fair market value of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock (on the date that the shares are first transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) that are received in settlement of the award.

The employer, either Insmed Incorporated or a subsidiary corporation, may claim a federal income tax deduction on account of the exercise of a nonqualified option, the vesting of a stock award and the settlement of a performance share award. The amount of the deduction equals the ordinary income recognized by the Stock Incentive Plan participant. The employer may not claim a federal income tax deduction on account of the grant or the exercise of an ISO. The employer may not claim a federal income tax deduction on account of certain dispositions of shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock acquired upon the exercise of an ISO.

The Stock Purchase Plan

The board of directors of Insmed Incorporated has adopted and the sole shareholder of Insmed Incorporated has approved the Insmed Incorporated 2000 Stock Purchase Plan. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees of Insmed Incorporated and its subsidiary corporations, other than certain employees who are also shareholders, may purchase Insmed Incorporated common stock directly from the company. Purchases may be made through payroll deduction, with an annual limit on purchases

131

equal to the lesser of 15% of an employee's base salary or a number of shares with a fair market value (at the time the right to purchase shares is made available) of $25,000. The price per share purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will be the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of a share of Insmed Incorporated common stock at the beginning of each annual offering period, or 85% of the fair market value on the date the purchase is made. Employees will not recognize income at the time Insmed Incorporated common stock is purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan, but the employee may recognize ordinary income, and the employer may claim a corresponding federal income tax deduction, on account of certain dispositions of shares acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan. A maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Insmed Incorporated common stock may be purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.

DESCRIPTION OF CELTRIX

Business Overview

Celtrix is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel drug candidates to treat seriously debilitating, degenerative conditions primarily associated with aging, chronic diseases and severe trauma. Celtrix focuses on restoring lost tissues and bodily processes essential for the patient's health and quality of life. Celtrix's product development programs have targeted:

. severe osteoporosis, including hip fracture surgery in the elderly;

. diabetes; and

. acute traumatic injury, as in severe burns.

Other potential development programs may target:

. protein wasting diseases (involving deterioration or degeneration of body tissue) associated with cancer;

. AIDS;

. advanced kidney failure; and

. comparable life-threatening conditions.

Celtrix's leading drug candidate is SomatoKine, a naturally occurring complex comprised of the tissue-producing, or anabolic, hormone insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its primary binding protein, BP3. IGF-I plays a major role in diverse biological processes, including bone and muscle formation, tissue repair, and endocrine regulation. However, IGF-I does not naturally exist in quantity free of its binding proteins, and limitations associated with administering free IGF-I therapeutically. Early studies, using free IGF-I without the benefit of the binding protein present in SomatoKine were complicated by side-effects brought on by the use of the free form of the molecule. When IGF-I is bound to BP3, as in nature, it does not display these acute limitations. BP-3 is critical in regulating the availability of IGF-I to the body's cells.

Celtrix completed a Phase II clinical feasibility study in December 1998 using SomatoKine to treat severely osteoporotic patients recovering from hip fracture surgery. Final results from the Phase II study suggest that SomatoKine has the potential to amplify bone metabolism and reverse the loss of bone mineral density that usually occurs following a hip fracture and improves the patient's functional independence. In April 1999, Celtrix established a corporate partnership with Elan Corporation, plc and Elan International Services, Ltd. to form a new jointly owned subsidiary that will continue global development of SomatoKine for treatment of severe osteoporosis, including recovery from hip fracture surgery.

Celtrix has also conducted a Phase II feasibility study in patients with severe burns. Data from the study show that SomatoKine has a normalizing effect on protein metabolism and patients treated with SomatoKine recorded improvements in several measures of their immune systems and heart functions. Celtrix believes that SomatoKine has the potential to provide severely burned patients with critical protection from serious infection, and it may speed their recovery and reduce their hospital stay.

133

Recently, the United States Food and Drug Administration notified Celtrix that SomatoKine qualifies for orphan drug status in treatment of severe burns. Orphan drug status guarantees Celtrix seven years of market exclusivity in the United States following the FDA approval of SomatoKine for the treatment of severe burns.

In January 1999, Celtrix completed a Phase II study in patients with Type I diabetes. Final data revealed that average daily insulin requirements for patients who received SomatoKine decreased significantly and these patients' average daily glucose levels declined. Based on such findings, Celtrix believes that SomatoKine has potential to improve insulin sensitivity and help diabetics manage their disease, and avoid complications which ultimately accompany diabetes.

Celtrix also has a product development, license and marketing agreement with Genzyme Corporation for TGF-beta-2. Genzyme is currently developing TGF- beta-2 for tissue repair and the treatment of systemic indications.

As part of Celtrix's corporate restructuring announced in September 1998, Celtrix discontinued the manufacture of SomatoKine at its Santa Clara facility. Currently, Celtrix has sufficient quantities of the drug to conduct clinical trials through the remainder of Year 2000. Celtrix believes that its future requirements for SomatoKine, beyond the amount of drug substance already on hand, can be met by third parties through contract manufacturing. Celtrix can transfer the necessary technology to a contract manufacturer to supply SomatoKine.

Celtrix's principal executive offices are located at 2033 Gateway Place, Suite 600, San Jose 95110 and Celtrix's telephone number is (408) 988-2500.

Background: Medical Need

Many of the body's physiological functions, such as growth of bone and muscle, tissue healing, immune processes and endocrine functions are controlled by regulatory proteins, such as growth factors, cytokines, and protein hormones, that bind to specific cells to modulate their function. When the body produces appropriate levels of these proteins and when the target cells respond properly, the body functions normally. When the body encounters adverse situations such as trauma, infection, or chronic disease, the production and regulation of these factors can become unbalanced. Normally, the body has the ability to naturally modulate the production of these regulating proteins to return to a balanced physiological state, also called homeostasis. However, when the ability to make these changes is impaired, it can result in a number of undesirable consequences including, but not limited to, poor nutritional status, an impaired ability to maintain and repair tissues and organs normally, and impaired immune and endocrine functions. Celtrix, alone or in collaboration with others, is developing biopharmaceuticals based on such naturally occurring, regulating proteins.

SomatoKine

SomatoKine is a human recombinant equivalent to the naturally occurring complex formed by insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its primary binding protein (BP3). The potential use of SomatoKine to treat certain medical conditions stems from a variety of demonstrated bioactivities in which IGF-I is involved, including:

. Bone formation;

. Muscle formation;

134

. Prevention of muscle degradation;

. Tissue and organ repair;

. Nutrient utilization;

. Hormonal regulation of insulin and growth hormone;

. Immune system stimulation; and

. Neurotrophic activity.

The metabolic activities of IGF-I suggest that SomatoKine may provide a safe and effective therapeutic approach to treating debilitating conditions associated with adverse metabolic, immune and hormonal functions. Clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that circulating IGF-I levels are often lower than normal in a variety of conditions including aging, chronic disease, and severe trauma. Low levels of IGF-I are often associated with destructive metabolic processes, known as catabolism, causing bone and muscle loss, delaying healing, and increasing the patient's risk of life-threatening complications and infections. Low levels of IGF-I may also exacerbate immunocompromised and diabetic conditions. The overall development of SomatoKine focuses on elevating the circulating reservoir of IGF-I thus overcoming these destructive metabolic processes.

Once in the bloodstream, the SomatoKine complex attaches to a third naturally occurring protein known as an acid labile subunit, or ALS. The resulting larger complex emulates what occurs in nature: safely storing and transporting IGF-I throughout the patient's body with an extended half life compared to free IGF-I. The BP3 contains important biological information used by the body in regulating IGF-I bioavailability and biodistribution. In addition, IGF-I can separate from this circulating reservoir and bind to target cells whenever the body needs it. Through its specific receptor, IGF-I then stimulates essential metabolic activities important for regeneration of bone and muscle, tissue repair, regulation of blood glucose levels and other critical biological processes.

Although other biopharmaceutical companies may have development programs involving IGF-I, Celtrix does not believe that any other company is currently developing the IGF-BP3 (SomatoKine) complex. This complex is of key importance because most naturally occurring IGF-I does not circulate in its free form, but is bound to its primary binding protein, BP3. The natural association of the two molecules appears to be of fundamental biological significance.

Preclinical experimentation, including toxicology studies, indicates that SomatoKine substantially improves IGF-I safety and efficacy. In addition, SomatoKine demonstrates a variety of biological effects that could not be demonstrated upon the administration of IGF-I alone. Celtrix believes this is related to the observation that SomatoKine significantly removes the known dose limitations associated with free (unbound) IGF-I. By removing dosage limitations and improving safety while still providing the benefits of IGF-I, SomatoKine has the potential to serve as a superior IGF-I therapeutic composition for a wide range of applications.

Although pursued by several companies over the past years, a number of limitations mainly associated with the administration of IGF-I in its free form have hampered realization of the therapeutic potential of IGF-I. As demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies, SomatoKine given over a range of doses is well tolerated, whereas equivalent doses of IGF-I without BP3 can cause serious side effects, such as hypoglycemia, joint pain and swelling, and parotid discomfort. Human clinical studies with IGF-I, administered without BP3, have shown that IGF-I by itself must be administered in low-dose daily injections in order to avoid acute side effects and this, in turn, may limit the observed clinical efficacy. In contrast, Celtrix's Phase I clinical data suggested that injectable, higher doses of SomatoKine are

135

feasible and provide the benefits of IGF-I without dose-limiting side effects. The higher safety margins of SomatoKine, in combination with potentially less frequent dosing, should make it possible to use SomatoKine to treat a variety of conditions that may be difficult to treat successfully with IGF-I alone.

Because IGF-BP3 is involved in a variety of essential biological processes, Celtrix believes that SomatoKine therapy could have broad range potential. This potential is supported by preclinical laboratory and animal and clinical studies conducted by Celtrix's scientists and other academic collaborations.

1 Of the estimated 24 million people in the United States with osteoporosis, there are an estimated 1.5 million fractures per year due to osteoporosis.
2 This population size represents the diagnosed cases of Type I and Type II diabetes.

Clinical Development

Recovery from Hip Fracture Surgery. Celtrix's initial treatment targets are elderly patients who have undergone hip fracture surgery, a subset of the severe osteoporosis patient population. Each year approximately 300,000 patients in the United States (1.7 million worldwide) undergo hip surgery to repair fractures of the femur that have occurred during falls. Studies show that blood levels of IGF-I drop significantly following hip fracture surgery. These osteoporotic elderly patients begin to rapidly lose even further bone and lean body mass. These losses can prolong patient immobility, further threaten recovery and survival, interfere with quality of life and add to the high cost of hip repair and

136

rehabilitation. Celtrix's goal is to provide SomatoKine as a short-term therapeutic treatment to prevent bone loss, improve muscle strength, restore mobility, and increase the patient's functional independence.

In January 1997, Celtrix initiated a multi-center Phase II clinical feasibility study in osteoporotic women (ages 65-90) who have undergone hip fracture surgery. This study, performed in Belgium, evaluated approximately 26 patients (approximately eight patients per dose group), who received either SomatoKine or a placebo over a period of eight weeks. Multiple dosage levels were tested. End points evaluated included change in the patient's body composition such as:

. bone;

. lean mass and fat mass;

. muscle function as measured by grip strength;

. trends in measures of daily activity such as ADL (activities of daily living scores); and

. bone metabolism markers.

Results from this Phase II study demonstrated important trend information. Hip fracture patients typically suffer an accelerated loss (5-9%) of hip bone mineral density. In fact, at six months following fracture, the hip bone mineral density of placebo-treated patients had declined approximately 6% from baseline value. Following an initial characteristic loss, SomatoKine-treated patients who were administered drug for eight weeks at 1.0 mg/kg per day, regained a substantial portion of their hip bone mineral density. At the six- month time point (four months post-treatment), SomatoKine-treated patients showed a hip bone mineral density average decrease of less than 2% from baseline value. Hip bone mineral density is a strong predictor of fracture risk because loss of hip bone mineral density predisposes hip fracture patients to a high risk of refracture. Population studies show that a 5% decrease in hip bone mineral density increases the risk of fracture by approximately 25%.

Results also demonstrated that hand grip strength improved approximately 10% from baseline value for patients treated with 1.0 mg/kg dose of SomatoKine, versus an approximately 10% loss for those receiving the placebo. Whether improved grip strength is related to the anabolic effects of SomatoKine on muscle remains to be determined. Preclinical studies, however, suggest SomatoKine has an effect on building lean body mass. A positive trend in parameters indicative of functional independence was also noted.

Based on findings from Celtrix's Phase II clinical feasibility study, Celtrix established a joint venture with Elan Corporation, plc in April 1999 to continue the global development of SomatoKine for osteoporosis and recovery from hip fracture surgery. The joint venture brings together Celtrix's drug technology and Elan's MEDIPAD delivery system. MEDIPAD is a state of the art, disposable micro-infusion pump, worn by the patient in a manner similar to a transdermal patch that will facilitate the administration of SomatoKine to this indication.

Severe Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a chronic, debilitating disorder in which the bones become increasingly porous, brittle and subject to fracture. Severe osteoporosis as defined by the number of patients suffering osteoporotic fractures, affects approximately 1.5 million elderly people in the United States, 5 million worldwide. Celtrix believes the findings from the Phase II feasibility study in hip fracture patients present a strong argument for development of SomatoKine for the short-term treatment of severe osteoporosis. This patient population consists largely of post-menopausal women who already

137

have lost a substantial quantity of bone and are at high risk of fractures of the hip, wrist or spine. In fact, studies estimate that 25% of all women over age 60 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture. While estrogens, calcitonins, bisphosphonates and other therapies are prescribed for osteoporosis, these treatments are used primarily to prevent further bone loss rather than to form new bone in this population. A relatively short period of treatment with SomatoKine offers the potential to substantially restore the patient's bone mineral density and improve supportive muscle strength, thus reducing fracture risk and improving the patient's strength and mobility. SomatoKine could provide a much needed therapeutic complement to the existing preventative therapies. Celtrix has established a corporate collaboration with Elan Corporation, plc for continued global development of SomatoKine for the treatment of severe osteoporosis, including recovery from hip fracture surgery.

Diabetes. Diabetes is typically characterized by the inadequate production or utilization of insulin, a vital hormone needed by the body for normal control of blood glucose levels. It afflicts over 5% of the populations of Europe, Japan and North America. In the United States alone, an estimated 9.1 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes. The endocrine activities of IGF-I suggest that SomatoKine may provide an effective therapeutic approach to treating diabetes patients. A number of clinical studies conducted by other researchers have shown that administration of free IGF-I can significantly increase insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in patients with diabetes. IGF-I treatment also substantially reduced the requirement for injected insulin and improved glycemic control. In a number of studies, the use of free IGF-I, however, without its primary binding protein (BP3), resulted in substantial side effects that limited the therapeutic value of the molecule.

Celtrix conducted a Phase II study in 12 patients to determine whether the SomatoKine complex provided similar beneficial therapeutic effects on glycemic control as free IGF-I without its limiting side effects. The study began in July 1998 to treat patients with Type I diabetes. These patients typically produce little or no insulin of their own, and although they require frequent insulin injections, their tissue may become partially resistant to insulin over time. They also have low blood levels of IGF-I due to lack of normal insulin secretion. Celtrix completed the Phase II study in patients with Type I diabetes in January 1999. Final data revealed significant treatment results in several key measurements. In treated patients, the average daily insulin requirements decreased 49% and average daily blood glucose levels decreased by 23%. Serum growth hormone decreased by 77% and cholesterol levels decreased by 12% in treated patients. These findings suggest that SomatoKine is a potential therapeutic for improving insulin sensitivity in both Type-I and Type-II diabetes and helping patients to manage their disease, thus avoiding the complications that ultimately accompany the disease. Celtrix intends to find a corporate partner(s) for the continued worldwide development of SomatoKine for the treatment of diabetes.

Severe Burns. Traumatic burns is another treatment target. Annually, approximately 10,000 people in the United States (30,000 worldwide) suffer from traumatic burns over greater than 20% of their body surface. Very low IGF-I levels, along with major tissue damage, are associated with disruption of biological processes that are essential for efficient and successful healing and protection from burn complications. Furthermore, the length of time spent in a burn trauma center is directly related to the time required to conduct the skin grafting required to heal the burn wound. Research has shown that IGF-I plays a significant role in tissue repair and that IGF-I supplementation can potentially promote the healing process and reduce hospital stay.

In July 1997, Celtrix initiated a Phase II feasibility trial in severely burned patients, collaborating with leaders in burn care at key burn trauma centers throughout the United States. In addition to their standard burn care, approximately 60 patients, both children and adults, received systemic SomatoKine and/or placebo through two skin graft cycles.

138

Data provided evidence supporting the use of SomatoKine to attenuate the degradation of muscle tissue (protein wasting) that is associated with severe trauma such as burn injury. In burn patients, the balance between protein synthesis and degradation is shifted towards degradation, leading to muscle and weight loss that in turn leads to delayed wound healing. The shift towards protein degradation also increases infectious complications and mortality. Data obtained from SomatoKine treated patients indicate substantial improvement in restoring the balance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is a prerequisite for accelerated wound healing and reduced hospital stay.

Additionally, data indicate that SomatoKine may have a positive effect on the immune system of severely burned patients. After severe burn, patients typically experience immune system effects that impair their ability to resist infection. This is evidenced by an adverse shift in cytokines produced by T- cell lymphocytes. However, lymphocytes collected from six severely burned SomatoKine-treated patients (ages 2-18) showed an approximately 280% increase in the production of interleukin-2 and a 25-90% increase in the production of interferon gamma, both vital immune system proteins.

SomatoKine appears to have a normalizing effect on immune functions and protein synthesis which offers the potential to provide critical protection from serious infection and protein wasting response that occur in severe burn patients.

Corporate Collaborations

Elan Corporation, plc. In April 1999, Celtrix entered into an agreement with Elan Corporation, plc to establish a joint venture for the development of SomatoKine to treat osteoporosis using Elan's MEDIPAD Delivery System. As part of the agreement, Elan purchased $8 million of Celtrix Series A Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Celtrix used the proceeds of the Celtrix Series A Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock sale to fund its share of the joint venture's initial capitalization and research and development costs. Celtrix may also issue up to $4.8 million of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Elan to fund its share of the joint venture's ongoing research and development costs. Elan has agreed to commit $1.2 million of additional funds to the joint venture to support its share of operating costs.

The joint venture is initially 80.1% owned by Celtrix and 19.9% by Elan and Elan, at its option, has the right either to convert the Celtrix Series A Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock it purchased into Celtrix common stock or exchange into additional ownership in the new joint venture. Elan may convert shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into common shares of Celtrix.

The joint venture paid a license fee to Elan for the use of the MEDIPAD technology while Celtrix will have an 80% share in any future proceeds related to the further development and commercialization of the osteoporosis product (e.g. upfront payments, milestones or royalties) received by the joint venture, regardless of ownership, until it is paid $10 million. Thereafter, Celtrix and Elan will share the joint venture's proceeds in accordance with their ownership interest. In a separate transaction, in April 1999 Celtrix issued 1,508,751 shares of common stock to Elan International Services, Ltd. at a price of $1.657 per share, for a total of $2.5 million.

Genzyme Corporation. In June 1994, Celtrix entered into a product development, license and marketing agreement with Genzyme on TGF-beta-2 which included equity investments, milestone payments and potential royalties to Celtrix. The objective was to commercialize TGF-beta-2 for tissue repair and treatment of systemic applications. Genzyme has been granted exclusive commercialization rights for all systemic applications and select local applications of TGF-beta- 2. The agreement is effective through the expiration of the licensed patents. Currently, the longest patent term extends to

139

October 2014, and may extend beyond that date due to ongoing prosecution of additional patents which, if issued, will be included in the agreement. The agreement includes a "termination for breach" provision. Each party agrees to undertake development activities and assume patent prosecution costs assigned to it under the agreement. Celtrix licenses TGF-beta technology to Genzyme. Genzyme agrees to make milestone payments plus royalties based on product sales to Celtrix. Genzyme agrees to fund development activities. As part of the agreement, Celtrix sold to Genzyme 1,550,388 shares of Celtrix common stock in June 1994 for $9.9 million and subsequently, in December 1995 Celtrix exercised the option to receive an additional investment by Genzyme for 1,472,829 shares of Celtrix common stock resulting in $4.4 million of net proceeds to Celtrix.

In December 1997, under amended terms, Celtrix granted Genzyme expanded territory rights to TGF-beta-2 to include Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. In exchange, Genzyme released Celtrix from research and service obligations and royalties which Celtrix would owe a third party. Celtrix has retained all rights to applications of TGF-beta-2 concerning ophthalmic disease and has the option to reacquire rights to other product applications not pursued by Genzyme. Genzyme has completed a 15-center, double-blinded, randomized Phase II clinical study to evaluate the treatment of approximately 177 diabetic patients suffering from neurotrophic diabetic foot ulcers. This amendment is effective until the expiration of the term of the related licensed patents. Currently, the longest related patent term extends to July 2015, and may extend beyond that date due to ongoing prosecution of additional patents which, if issued, will be included in the agreement. Termination provisions in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or breach, are included. Genzyme agrees to pay royalties and bear patent prosecution costs.

Additionally, in December 1997, under a separate license agreement, Genzyme was granted a worldwide royalty-bearing license to TGF-beta antibodies and receptor technology. Under the terms of the agreement, Genzyme will assume the licensing and royalty obligations of Celtrix related to TGF-beta receptor. In October 1999, this agreement was amended to indicate that the receptor technology sublicense is effective until the end of the full term(s) for which the patent rights are issued.

Genentech, Inc. In March 1993, Celtrix entered into a cross-license agreement with Genentech. Under the terms of the agreement, Genentech granted Celtrix rights to process patents that may have application in the manufacturing of TGF-beta-2 and TGF-beta receptors, in return for a $4.0 million licensing fee and future product royalties. Genzyme has assumed Celtrix's obligations to make these royalty payments pursuant to the 1997 license agreement discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph. The term of the longest related patent is July 2015, and may extend beyond that date due to ongoing prosecution of additional patents which, if issued, will be included in the agreement.

Celtrix granted Genentech patent rights to TGF-beta for use in any pharmaceutical formulation or product in exchange for future product royalties. The license fee was balanced by an equity purchase by Genentech of 572,450 shares of newly issued Celtrix common stock for a total value of $4.0 million, resulting in a non-cash transaction.

Celtrix has substantial accumulated or retained expertise with IGF-I and BP3. Through an extensive collaboration program with leading scientists worldwide, research and development efforts are focused on demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of SomatoKine (IGF-I in combination with BP3) in human clinical studies that are relevant to the indications being evaluated. Studies to evaluate optimal formulations, doses and dosing frequencies are being conducted to aid in the development of SomatoKine. These collaborative efforts have effectively contributed to Celtrix's understanding of the underlying causes and potential treatment strategies for conditions leading to muscle and bone loss and

140

other catabolic conditions. Celtrix is continuing to expand collaborations into other fields where SomatoKine therapy may be beneficial.

Advances by Celtrix's research staff in the development of a novel protein expression technology for SomatoKine provided Celtrix with a proprietary manufacturing method that will position Celtrix for large-scale commercial manufacturing. Efforts in this area will continue to focus on ways that this technology can advance the SomatoKine program. Celtrix believes that this technology not only provides benefits to Celtrix programs, but also offers a potential option to other biopharmaceutical companies in need of novel protein expression technology. Celtrix intends to evaluate its options to license such technology to other biopharmaceutical companies in the future.

Manufacturing

Celtrix manufactured human recombinant SomatoKine according to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) at its Santa Clara location. Since Celtrix believed it has a supply of SomatoKine sufficient for future, large scale Phase II studies, it ceased manufacturing as part of its September 1998 restructuring. When larger-scale manufacturing is needed, Celtrix will arrange to resume manufacturing efforts through collaborative relationships or contract manufacturers.

Intellectual Property

Proprietary protection for Celtrix's potential products is important to Celtrix's business. Celtrix's policy is to protect its technology by filing patent applications for technology that it considers important to the development of its business. Celtrix intends to file additional patent applications, when appropriate, relating to improvements in its technology and other specific products that it develops. Celtrix currently holds a total of 29 United States and 42 worldwide issued or allowed patents related to the composition, production, antibodies and methods of use for SomatoKine:

. including one patent with claims to a BP3 composition-of-matter;

. 12 therapeutic use patents for SomatoKine, IGF-I or BP3;

. nine patents regarding novel expression and production methods which may be used for the manufacture of SomatoKine; and

. two issued patents relating to methods of predicting drug response.

Celtrix has 23 families of applications, pending in the U.S. or abroad, regarding the therapeutic use of BP3, antibodies to BP3 and their uses, and therapeutic uses and production of the complex, SomatoKine. These applications are in various stages of review. In Europe, Celtrix has an issued patent with claims to (1) a BP3 composition-of-matter, (2) certain therapeutic uses of that BP3, and (3) and certain therapeutic uses of a complex of IGF and the claimed BP3. Celtrix has received a European patent with claims to recombinantly produced BP3, therapeutic uses of BP3 and therapeutic uses of the complex, SomatoKine. Another company has opposed this patent.

Celtrix also owns or co-owns 27 issued patents regarding the composition- of-matter, methods of purification, and therapeutic uses of TGF-beta-2 and antagonists of TGF-beta-2. Celtrix also owns the rights to a patent application relating to therapeutic uses of TGF-beta antagonists.

141

Celtrix seeks patent protection for its inventions and discoveries which Celtrix believes are patentable in the United States and, in most instances, in at least Australia, Canada, Japan and various countries in Europe. As with any pending patent application, there can be no assurance that any of these applications will be issued in the United States or foreign countries, nor can there be any assurance that any United States or foreign patents issuing from any of these applications will not later be held invalid or unenforceable.

At least three large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with substantial financial and legal resources have patent applications on file in the United States and abroad directed at the production of recombinant IGF-I by various methods. The earliest date of filing of these patent applications is April 25, 1983. Unless and until these applications issue in the United States, it is not possible to determine the breadth of these claims regarding a process for IGF-I production. Furthermore, a large biotechnology and pharmaceutical company with substantial financial and legal resources has a patent issued in the United States directed toward certain DNA molecules encoding BP3 and the corresponding BP3 protein. This same patent was granted in Europe and was successfully opposed by Celtrix. However, this large biotechnology and pharmaceutical company has recently appealed the decision. The appeal could be successful, and if it is successful, it is not possible to determine what, if any, claims will be reinstated or the breadth of such claims. In addition, this large biotechnology company has been issued a patent directed toward the subcutaneous bolus administration of IGF-BP3 for certain limited areas of use. Celtrix expects that each of these companies will vigorously defend their patent positions.

Celtrix has developed a new process for the production of IGF and BP3 which it does not believe will infringe on other patents relating to recombinant protein production in general or on other patents relating to the production of IGF and BP3 in particular, although there can be no assurance that another person or company will not assert a contrary position. A large number of other companies have pending patent applications and/or issued patents that claim certain methods of use of IGF.

Government Regulation

Numerous governmental authorities in the United States and other countries substantially regulate the research and development, production and marketing of Celtrix's products. The regulatory process, which includes preclinical testing and clinical trials of each compound in order to establish its safety and efficacy, can take many years and requires the expenditure of substantial resources.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration rigorously regulates pharmaceutical products. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the underlying regulations, as well as other federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things, the testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record-keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of Celtrix's potential products. The steps required before a pharmaceutical product may be marketed in the United States include:

. Preclinical laboratory and animal tests;

. The submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, which must become effective before human clinical trials may commence;

. The conduct of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug product for its intended indications;

. The submission to the FDA of a new drug application for pharmaceuticals; and

142

. FDA approval of the new drug application prior to any commercial shipment or sale of the product.

Although SomatoKine is a DNA-derived protein complex and is manufactured using biotechnology techniques, the FDA has indicated to Celtrix that products containing SomatoKine will fall into the category of hormones and will be reviewed as a drug. The FDA assigned this review to the Division of Endocrine and Metabolism Products, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Before marketing, FDA approval of products containing SomatoKine will be based on submission of an new drug application containing the results of preclinical and clinical studies, and complete manufacturing and controls information. Furthermore, new drug application approval requires preapproval inspection by the FDA of the proposed commercial manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with manufacturing regulations.

Before the commencement of clinical trials for its potential products, Celtrix must conduct preclinical tests of its products, which include laboratory characterization of the products and the conduct of animal studies to assess preliminarily the safety and pharmacological effect of the products. Celtrix must conduct the preclinical safety tests in compliance with FDA regulations regarding good laboratory practices. Celtrix must submit the results of preclinical tests to the FDA as part of the investigational new drug application. The FDA then reviews the tests and determines whether the clinical trials described in the investigational new drug application may commence. There is no certainty that submission of an investigational new drug application will result in FDA authorization to commence clinical trials.

Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational compound to healthy volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and the efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Celtrix must submit each protocol to the FDA as part of the investigational new drug application. Further, Celtrix must conduct each clinical study under the auspices of an independent Institutional Review Board at the institution at which Celtrix conducts the study. Celtrix must obtain an informed consent from each clinical subject.

Clinical trials of drug products are typically conducted in three phases, but the phases may overlap. In Phase I, the product is tested for safety (adverse effects) and may include dosage tolerance, metabolism, distribution, excretion and clinical pharmacology. Phase II involves studies in a limited patient population to:

. determine the efficacy of the product for specific, targeted indications;

. determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and

. identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

If a pharmaceutical company determines that a compound is effective and has an acceptable safety profile in Phase II evaluations, the company will generally undertake Phase III trials to further confirm clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical study sites. Clinical studies can take several years to complete and are often abandoned when results indicate low efficacy or poor safety. Celtrix may not be able to successfully complete Phase I, Phase II or Phase III testing within any specified time period or at all. Furthermore, Celtrix or the FDA may suspend clinical trials at any time if it is felt that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk or if the results indicate low efficacy.

143

Celtrix would then submit the results of the product development efforts, preclinical studies and clinical studies to the FDA in the form of a new drug application for approval to permit marketing and commercial shipment and sales of the pharmaceutical product. The testing and approval process is likely to require substantial time and effort. The FDA may not grant approval on a timely basis, or at all. The FDA may deny a new drug application if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, require additional testing or information if it does not view the new drug application as containing adequate evidence of the safety and efficacy of the product or may require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety of Celtrix's products. Even if a company attempts to comply with all of the FDA requirements and requests, the FDA may ultimately decide that the application does not satisfy its regulatory criteria for approval. Finally, the FDA may withdraw product approvals if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur following initial marketing.

The manufacturer's manufacturing procedures and quality control must comply with the FDA regulations as published in the current good manufacturing practices regulations, as well as any additional standards or guidelines issued for specific drug or biological products. The FDA monitors compliance with these requirements by requiring all drug manufacturers to register with the FDA, which subjects them to biennial FDA inspections of manufacturing facilities. In addition, a precondition for new drug application approval is that the FDA conducts an inspection of the manufacturing facility and determines that it complies with all applicable regulatory requirements. In order to assure compliance with those requirements, manufacturers must continue to expend time, resources and effort in the areas of production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance.

For marketing outside the United States, Celtrix is also subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for drugs. Celtrix has conducted clinical trials in Europe and the considerations described above also apply to European clinical trials. For example, Celtrix must conduct clinical trials in several phases. Celtrix may not be able to successfully complete testing in Europe within any specified time period, if at all. Although the new drug approval process has been centralized for the European Union, clinical research is still controlled at the national level. For clinical trials in certain European countries, Celtrix is required to give a simple notification process and no submission is required. Other European countries may require the submission of a clinical trial exemption, which is the equivalent of the United States IND and which must be effective before human clinical trials may be commenced. Once submitted, the review and approval process typically takes three months. However, an approval could take a longer time or may never be obtained.

For the marketing and commercial shipment and sales of new biotechnology products, the European Union has centralized the process for new drug approval. The centralized approval process involves the submission of a marketing application, the equivalent of a United States new drug application, to the European Medicines Evaluation Authority. The authority uses the centralized scientific body of reviewers from the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products to assess the new drug product and obtains a recommendation whether or not to approve the new product. A single approval from the centralized authority is typically applicable to the entire European Community.

Because Celtrix intends to have its products marketed in certain foreign countries in the future, Celtrix will likely need to obtain approval by these countries' regulatory authorities. The approval procedures vary from country to country, and the time required for approval may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. Even after Celtrix obtains foreign approvals Celtrix could encounter further delays before it could market products. For example, many countries require additional

144

government approval for price reimbursement under national health systems. Such approvals can be critical to any extensive marketing of drug products in such countries.

Insurance; Product Liability

Celtrix currently has in force general liability and product liability insurance. Celtrix's insurance policies provide coverage for product liability and general liability on a claims made and on an occurrence basis, respectively. These policies are subject to annual renewal.

Competition

Celtrix faces competition from larger pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, universities and other research institutions in all areas in which Celtrix is targeting. Most of these entities have greater capital resources, research and development staffs and facilities, experience in conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals, and manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products than Celtrix.

Employees and Properties

As of December 31, 1999, Celtrix employed seven full-time employees. Since the September 1998 restructuring, Celtrix utilizes consultants as necessary to assist in various research and development activities. Celtrix plans to add staff as necessary to manage the clinical and related activities planned by the Celtrix/Elan joint venture.

Celtrix is highly dependent on the principal members of its management and scientific staff as well as consultants. Its future success depends in large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified scientific and management personnel. Celtrix faces significant competition for such personnel from other companies, academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. Celtrix may not be successful in hiring or retaining requisite personnel.

Celtrix leases administrative offices at 2033 Gateway Place, San Jose, California 95110. In the fourth calendar quarter of 1998, Celtrix ceased manufacturing operations and administrative functions at its Santa Clara facility. The Santa Clara facility was designed to address Celtrix's anticipated manufacturing needs to provide its initial drug supply for clinical studies. In the future, Celtrix plans to subcontract its manufacturing operations to supply drugs for Phase III clinical studies and commercialization. Celtrix or any other party may not be able to arrange to manufacture any of its current or future products on a commercial scale, or at a cost or in quantities to make commercially viable products.

Legal Proceedings

As of the date hereof, there are no legal proceedings involving Celtrix or its assets that, in the opinion of management, could result in a materially adverse change in the business or financial condition of Celtrix.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999, Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998

General. On December 1, 1999, Celtrix announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement for Insmed Pharmaceuticals to acquire Celtrix. The following discussion is presented on the basis of Celtrix as an independent entity. References to future activities are subject to change based upon completion of the reorganizations.

Celtrix is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of seriously debilitating, degenerative conditions primarily associated with severe trauma, chronic diseases or aging. Celtrix's focus is on regenerating lost tissue and metabolic processes essential for the patient's health and quality of life. Ongoing product development programs target severe osteoporosis (recovery from hip fracture surgery) and diabetes. Other potential indications include traumatic burns and protein wasting diseases associated with cancer, AIDS, advanced kidney failure and other life-threatening conditions.

Celtrix's development focus is on SomatoKine, a naturally occurring complex comprised of the anabolic hormone insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its primary binding protein, BP3. IGF-I is known to play a major role in diverse biological processes, including muscle and bone formation, tissue repair and endocrine regulation. However, limitations associated with administering free IGF-I therapeutically have proven significant because IGF-I does not naturally exist in quantity free of its binding proteins. SomatoKine delivers IGF-I complexed with BP3, which contains biological information important for the body's natural regulation of IGF-I bioavailability and biodistribution, and the resulting complex does not display the acute limitations seen in free IGF-I administration.

Results from Celtrix's three earlier Phase I studies demonstrated that the repeated or continuous administration of SomatoKine safely delivers IGF-I at substantially higher dosage levels than have ever been achievable with free IGF- I, increasing the peak blood concentration of IGF-I up to 35-times its normal level. Furthermore, the elevated levels substantially stimulated bone and connective tissue metabolism.

In early 1997, Celtrix initiated a Phase II clinical feasibility study using SomatoKine to treat severe osteoporosis patients recovering from hip fracture surgery. Following the trauma of hip fracture, patients typically suffer an accelerated loss of hip bone mineral density (BMD) which predisposes them to a high risk of refracture. Final data from this Phase II clinical feasibility study reveal significant treatment results in several key measurements including hip bone mass and tests of functional ability. The results suggest that SomatoKine amplifies the body's natural bone metabolism and that short-term treatment with SomatoKine appears to have sustained effects. The findings suggest the potential usefulness of SomatoKine for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Based on these promising findings, in April 1999 Celtrix entered into an agreement with Elan Corporation, plc to establish a joint venture company for the development of SomatoKine to treat osteoporosis using Elan's MEDIPAD Delivery System. The joint venture company is initially owned 80.1% by Celtrix and 19.9% by Elan. The joint venture company has licensed SomatoKine technology from Celtrix and MEDIPAD technology from Elan. Celtrix initially invested $8.01 million in the joint venture and Elan invested $1.99 million. At the time of closing, Elan International Services, Ltd. (EIS) purchased $8.01 million of Celtrix Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock, which, with all accrued and unpaid dividends, is convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share or exchangeable for an incremental 30.1% ownership in the joint venture to a total of 50.0%. If the

147

exchange right is exercised, the Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be cancelled. Celtrix anticipates the Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be converted to Insmed Incorporated common stock, in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Elan, at the time of the proposed reorganizations. The Series A Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock pays a 5% annual in-kind dividend. Although Celtrix owns 80.1% of the joint venture the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting because Elan has substantive participating rights that give them the ability to block significant decisions proposed by Celtrix. In addition, Elan actively participates in directing and carrying out the operating and capital activities of the joint venture's business.

The agreement with Elan also provides at Celtrix's option for EIS to purchase from time to time Series B Convertible Preferred Stock up to an amount of $4.8 million, the proceeds from which sale will be used by Celtrix to fund its share of the joint venture's operating expenses. Celtrix and Elan will be reimbursed by the joint venture for research and development and administrative work performed on behalf of the joint venture. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share and pays a 9% annual in-kind dividend. Currently, there are no shares of Celtrix Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

Elan received a $10 million license payment from the joint venture for the use of MEDIPAD technology while Celtrix will have an 80% share in any future proceeds related to the further development and commercialization of the osteoporosis product (e.g. upfront payments, milestones or royalties) received by the joint venture, regardless of ownership, until Celtrix is paid $10 million. Thereafter, Celtrix and Elan will share the joint venture's proceeds in accordance with their ownership interests.

In April 1999, in a separate transaction, Celtrix issued 1,508,751 shares of common stock to Elan International Services, Ltd. at a price of $1.657 per share, amounting to $2.4 million (net of expenses).

In mid-1997, Celtrix began a Phase II clinical feasibility study in severely burned patients. Severe burns patients typically have low IGF-I levels which may be connected to the disruption of the biological processes that are essential for efficient and successful healing and protection from complications. Results provided evidence that SomatoKine improved the metabolic processes involved in maintaining muscle protein. In addition, SomatoKine appeared to have a positive effect on the heart function and immune system of these severely burned patients. Clinical findings from this study may be used to establish corporate partnership(s) for future development of SomatoKine in severe burns.

Based upon the results of this Phase II clinical feasibility study in severely burned patients, Celtrix applied for orphan drug status to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In July 1999, Celtrix received notification from the FDA that SomatoKine qualified for orphan designation for the treatment of major burns that require hospitalization.

Other potential indications include protein wasting conditions associated with cancer cachexia, AIDS, advanced kidney failure, and other life-threatening conditions. Celtrix plans to pursue the use of SomatoKine in these areas through corporate collaborations. SomatoKine's anabolic effects offer the potential to preserve and restore muscle strength and mobility which are important for these patients' survival and quality of life.

In July 1998, Celtrix initiated a Phase II feasibility study in diabetes. This 12-patient study investigated SomatoKine's potential to increase sensitivity to insulin and improve blood glucose control. In a cross-over study, patients served as their own control group. All patients reacted positively to

148

SomatoKine. On average, while using SomatoKine, patients reduced exogenous insulin by 49% and recorded a 23% reduction in blood sugar levels, while improving glycemic control.

Celtrix has a product development, license and marketing agreement with Genzyme Corporation for TGF-beta-2, a potential pharmaceutical based on a naturally occurring compound which appears to play an important role in regulating healthy cell functions. In December 1997, under amended terms, Celtrix granted Genzyme Corporation expanded territory rights to TGF-beta-2 to include Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. Additionally, under a separate license agreement, Genzyme Corporation was granted a worldwide royalty-bearing license to TGF-beta antibodies and receptor technology. In October 1999, this agreement was amended to indicate that the receptor technology sublicense is effective until the end of the full term(s) for which the patent rights are issued. Genzyme Corporation is conducting a Phase II clinical study in dermal ulcers; Celtrix is not currently pursuing an in-house TGF-beta-2 program.

Celtrix has not earned substantial revenues from product sales since inception and at December 31, 1999, had an accumulated deficit of $141.0 million. Celtrix's revenues to date consist principally of licensing and milestone payments from pharmaceuticals, research and development funding, related party revenue, and to a lesser extent, sales of products for use in research and assay applications. Celtrix expects to incur additional operating losses, which may fluctuate quarter to quarter, for at least the next several years as Celtrix continues its development activities, including clinical trials.

In November 1998, Celtrix received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market that it failed to comply with two Nasdaq Stock Market continued listing requirements - the minimum net tangible assets requirement and the minimum bid price requirement. In January 1999, Nasdaq Stock Market officials confirmed that Celtrix had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, but that it would be subject to delisting if it failed to comply with the minimum net tangible assets requirement. In response, Celtrix requested an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to present its plan to regain compliance with the minimum net tangible assets requirement. Such plan was presented at an oral hearing on April 1, 1999, and on July 6, 1999, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel informed Celtrix that its listing would be moved from the Nasdaq National Market to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective July 8, 1999, subject to its continued compliance with The Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements.

There can be no assurance that Celtrix will ever achieve either significant revenues from product sales or profitable operations. To achieve profitable operations, Celtrix, alone or with others, must successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for and market its potential products. No assurance can be given that Celtrix's product development efforts will be successfully completed, that required regulatory approvals will be obtained, or that any products, if developed and introduced, will be successfully marketed or achieve market acceptance.

Results of Operations. Celtrix incurred a net loss of $1.1 million and $10.2 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999, compared to $1.1 million and $13.1 million for the same periods in 1998. Net loss per share was $0.04 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The reduction of operating expenses in the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 was offset by Celtrix's share of losses attributable to the joint venture company formed by Celtrix and Elan Corporation, plc in April 1999. Net loss per share decreased to $0.39 per share for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999, compared to $0.59 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 reflects both the reduction of operating expenses since the September 1998 restructuring of Celtrix, and the absence of one-time restructuring charges associated with that event. The decrease in net loss for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 is partially offset by Celtrix's 80.1% share of the joint

149

venture company's losses, including the $10 million one-time license fee paid by the joint venture company to Elan for the use of Elan's MEDIPAD Delivery System technology.

Revenues increased to $622,000 and $712,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999 from $21,000 and $79,000 for the same periods in 1998. The increase is due primarily to related party revenue from the joint venture formed by Celtrix and Elan Corporation, plc, which includes revenues for services performed on behalf of the joint venture and the reimbursement at cost of SomatoKine drug substance to provide the joint venture for use in the clinical trial currently planned by the joint venture.

Operating expenses decreased to $779,000 and $2.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999 from $1.1 million and $13.3 million for the same periods in 1998. The decrease results from the restructuring plan implemented by Celtrix in September 1998, which included the discontinuation of manufacturing and a reduction of workforce.

Net interest income increased to $21,000 for the three-months ended December 31, 1999 from $14,000 for the same period in 1998, and decreased to $74,000 for the nine-months ended December 31, 1999 from $121,000 for the same period in 1998, due primarily to the increase and decrease, respectively, in average cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances.

In September 1998, Celtrix announced a restructuring of Celtrix to focus on the clinical development of SomatoKine, and to significantly reduce its cash burn rate. Since sufficient clinical grade SomatoKine has been manufactured for the conduct of clinical trials over the next two years, Celtrix discontinued its manufacturing operations. As part of the restructuring, Celtrix reduced its work force by 69 employees, or approximately 90%, by the end of calendar year 1998. The reduction in work force affected all levels of staff in manufacturing and other functions. Celtrix terminated its 69,000 square foot facility lease in November 1998, and relocated to offices in San Jose, California to support ongoing clinical and business development activities.

As a result of the restructuring, Celtrix recognized a $5.2 million one- time charge in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, which included a net $4.5 million non-cash charge for the write-off of leasehold improvements, $358,000 for severance and benefit expenses, $250,000 related to certain operating lease obligations and $75,000 in other restructuring-related charges.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1998

Results of Operations. Celtrix incurred net losses of $13.4 million, $12.9 million, and $12.7 million in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Basic and diluted net losses per share for these years were $0.58, $0.61, and $0.83, respectively. Celtrix has not earned substantial revenues from product sales since inception and at March 31, 1999 had an accumulated deficit of $130.4 million. Celtrix's revenues to date consist principally of licensing and milestone payments from pharmaceuticals, research and development funding, related party revenue, and to a lesser extent, sales of products for use in research and assay applications. Celtrix expects to incur additional operating losses, which may fluctuate quarter to quarter, for at least the next several years as Celtrix continues its development activities, including clinical trials.

Revenues consist of licensing revenue and miscellaneous product sales. Revenues were $131,000, $661,000 and $658,000 in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 80% decrease in revenues from 1998 to 1999 is due primarily to loss of licensing revenue resulting from the termination of the Yoshitomi license agreement.

150

Operating expenses decreased 5% to $14.3 million in 1999 from $15.0 million in 1998 due to the reduction of expenses since the September 1998 restructuring of Celtrix, offset by the one-time restructuring charge of $5.2 million recorded in September 1998. At year-end, Celtrix had reduced its expenditure level to approximately $2.4 million per year, and it expects to maintain this rate of expenditure for its corporate activities for the next 12 months. Clinical and administrative expenditures anticipated by the Celtrix/Elan joint venture are the responsibility of each party in proportion to their ownership shares. The joint venture agreement provides for Celtrix to obtain funds for its share of such expenditures through the sale of additional equity securities to Elan. Operating expenses increased 9% to $15.0 million in 1998 from $13.8 million in 1997 due primarily to increased costs associated with the Phase II clinical trials, and additional staffing to support increased SomatoKine manufacturing and clinical activities.

Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased 81% to $132,000 in 1999 from $681,000 in 1998 due primarily to the lower average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances in 1999. Net interest income increased 47% to $681,000 in 1998 from $464,000 in 1997 primarily because of an increase in average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments resulting from net proceeds received from Celtrix's April 1997 private equity financing of approximately $13.3 million. Interest expense was $1,000, $24,000, and $89,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

In 1999, Celtrix received a $600,000 payment from Yoshitomi, as a settlement related to the termination of the Green Cross license agreement. In 1998, Celtrix reported a gain on investment of $737,000 from the sale of preferred stock in Prograft Medical, Inc. (Prograft), held by Celtrix since 1993.

At March 31, 1999, Celtrix had net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $127.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, expiring in the years 2006 through 2019. Due to ownership changes as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, Celtrix's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits is subject to substantial annual limitations. Celtrix has determined that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $51.2 million and $45.8 million at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount realizable, zero, based upon Celtrix's earnings history of losses.

In September 1998, Celtrix announced a restructuring to focus on the clinical development of SomatoKine, and to significantly reduce its cash burn rate. Since Celtrix believes that sufficient clinical grade SomatoKine has been manufactured for the conduct of clinical trials over the next two years, it discontinued its manufacturing operations. As part of the restructuring, Celtrix reduced its work force by 59 employees, or approximately 80%, in September 1998. Celtrix further reduced its work force by the end of the calendar year, for a total reduction of approximately 90%. The reduction in work force affected all levels of staff in manufacturing and other functions. Celtrix terminated its 69,000 square foot facility lease effective November 30, 1998, and relocated to offices in San Jose, California to support ongoing clinical and business development activities.

As a result of the restructuring, Celtrix recognized a $5.2 million one- time charge in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, which included a net $4.5 million non-cash charge for the write-off of leasehold improvements, $358,000 for severance and benefit expenses, $250,000 related to certain non-cancelable operating lease obligations and $75,000 in other restructuring-related charges.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1997

General. Celtrix has not earned substantial revenues from product sales since inception and at March 31, 1998 had an accumulated deficit of $117.0 million. Celtrix's revenues to date consist

151

principally of licensing and milestone payments from pharmaceuticals, research and development funding, related party revenue, and to a lesser extent, sales of products for use in research and assay applications. Celtrix expects to incur additional operating losses, which may fluctuate quarter to quarter, for at least the next several years as Celtrix expands its development activities, including clinical trials and manufacturing.

There can be no assurance that Celtrix will ever achieve either significant revenues from product sales or profitable operations. To achieve profitable operations, Celtrix, alone or with others, must successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for and market its potential products. No assurance can be given that Celtrix's product development efforts will be successfully completed, that required regulatory approvals will be obtained, or that any products, if developed and introduced, will be successfully marketed or achieve market acceptance.

Results of Operations. Celtrix incurred net losses of $12.9 million, $12.7 million, and $7.2 million in fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Basic and diluted net losses per share for these years were $0.61, $0.83, and $0.51, respectively. Revenues, consisting of licensing revenue from Yoshitomi and miscellaneous product sales, were $661,000 and $658,000, respectively, for 1998 and 1997. Operating expenses increased 9% to $15.0 million in 1998 from $13.8 million in 1997 due primarily to increased costs associated with the Phase II feasibility clinical trials, and additional staffing to support increased SomatoKine manufacturing and clinical activities.

Interest income, net of interest expense, increased 47% to $681,000 in 1998 from $464,000 in 1997 due primarily to an increase in average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments resulting from net proceeds received from Celtrix's April 1997 private equity financing of approximately $13.3 million. Net interest income decreased 26% in 1997 from $625,000 in 1996 due primarily to the lower average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, partly offset by lower interest expense. Interest expense was $24,000 and $89,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

In 1998, Celtrix reported a gain on investment of $737,000 from the sale of preferred stock in Prograft Medical, Inc. (Prograft), held by Celtrix since 1993. At March 31, 1998, Celtrix had net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $113.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, expiring in the years 2006 through 2013. Due to ownership changes as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, Celtrix's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits is subject to substantial annual limitations. Celtrix has determined that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $45.8 million and $41.0 million at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount realizable, zero, based upon Celtrix's earnings history of losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Celtrix has funded its activities with proceeds from private offerings, research and development revenues from collaborative arrangements, lease and debt financing arrangements, proceeds from liquidating its equity investments and, to a lesser extent, other revenues and product sales.

Celtrix's cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.2 million at both December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999. Net proceeds of $10.7 million received from the issuance of common stock and preferred stock and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets were offset by cash outlays which included $9.2 million used for investing activities, primarily in connection with the joint venture company formed with Elan in April 1999, and $1.5 million used in operating activities.

152

In April 1999, in connection with the closing of a joint venture agreement with Elan Corporation, plc, Elan International Services, Ltd. purchased 1,508,751 shares of Celtrix common stock at a purchase price of $1.657 per share, resulting in net proceeds to Celtrix of $2.4 million, which is included in the $10.7 million described above.

In February 2000, an investor in the $14.0 million April 1997 private placement financing exercised 820,344 warrants at an exercise price of $2.6818 per share, which generated approximately $2.2 million in additional cash for Celtrix.

At December 31, 1999, Celtrix had working capital of $0.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $141.0 million, and incurred a net loss of $1.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999. Celtrix has reduced its burn rate to approximately $200,000 per month not including reimbursable expenditures attributed to the joint venture formed by Celtrix and Elan Corporation, plc. Accordingly, Celtrix expects its working capital, plus $2.2 million in proceeds from the February 2000 exercise of warrants from the April 1997 private placement financing, will be sufficient to fund operations into the first half of 2001. Celtrix will be required to seek additional funds to finance operations beyond that period. The joint venture transaction with Elan Corporation, plc provides, at Celtrix's option, for the purchase by Elan of additional Celtrix equity securities, the proceeds from which will be used to fund Celtrix's share of anticipated clinical expenses associated with the joint venture's large-scale trial in osteoporosis (recovery from hip fracture surgery).

To minimize future dilution to stockholders from additional equity financing, Celtrix plans to concentrate on establishing additional corporate partner arrangements and other opportunities that will enable the continued development of SomatoKine. Merger opportunities that are consistent with Celtrix's clinical development of SomatoKine will also be considered. There can be no assurance that Celtrix will be able to raise additional funds or enter into further collaborative arrangements on terms favorable to Celtrix. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on December 1, 1999, Celtrix announced its intention to merge with Insmed Pharmaceuticals.

Celtrix anticipates that it will be necessary to expend significant capital resources to support further clinical development. Capital resources may also be required for the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies. Celtrix's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including progress with its clinical trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the time and costs involved in filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims, competition in technological and market developments, the establishment of and changes in collaborative relationships and the cost of commercialization activities and arrangements. Celtrix anticipates that it will be required to raise substantial additional capital over a period of several years in order to continue its clinical development programs and to prepare for commercialization. Raising additional funds may result in further dilution to then-existing shareholders. No assurance can be given that such additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or at all. The unavailability of such financing could delay or prevent the development and marketing of Celtrix's potential products.

Impact of Year 2000. Many computer systems experience problems handling dates beyond the year 1999. Therefore, some computer hardware and software has been upgraded or modified before the Year 2000 in order to remain functional. Celtrix has assessed the impact of Year 2000 on its existing software and systems. Celtrix implemented successfully the systems and software changes necessary to address the Year 2000 issues, and does not believe that the costs of such actions will have a material effect on Celtrix's results of operations or financial condition. However, it is unknown the extent, if any, of the impact of the Year 2000 on other systems and equipment of third parties with which Celtrix does business. There can be no assurance that third parties will address the Year 2000 issue in a timely

153

fashion, or at all. Any Year 2000 compliance problem or delay of either Celtrix, its suppliers, its clinical research organizations, or its collaborative partners could have a material adverse effect on Celtrix's business, operating results and financial conditions.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Celtrix invests its excess cash in investment grade, interest-bearing securities. At December 31, 1999, Celtrix had $1,211,652 invested in money market mutual funds. While a hypothetical decrease in market interest rates by 10 percent from the December 31, 1999 levels would cause a decrease in interest income, it would not result in a loss of the principal. Additionally, the decrease in interest income would not be material.

Stock Option Plans The 1991 Stock Option Plan. Under the Celtrix 1991 Stock Option Plan, the Celtrix compensation committee may grant options to officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants of Celtrix. The Celtrix compensation committee administers the 1991 Stock Option Plan to satisfy the requirements of section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The compensation committee establishes the terms of option grants made under the 1991 Stock Option Plan, subject to the provisions of the Plan. No participant in the Celtrix 1991 Stock Option Plan may receive options for more than 500,000 shares of Celtrix common stock during any year (subject to equitable adjustment on certain corporate transactions).

The compensation committee may grant be either options intended to qualify as ISOs under section 422 of the Code, or options not intended to qualify. No income is recognized by a Celtrix Stock Option Plan participant at the time an option is granted. If the option is an ISO, no income will be recognized on exercise of the option. Income is recognized on disposition of shares acquired under an ISO. The exercise of a nonqualified option generally is a taxable event that requires the participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the difference between the shares' fair market value and the option price. Celtrix is entitled to claim a federal income tax deduction on account of the exercise of a nonqualified option. Celtrix will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction on account of the grant or the exercise of an ISO, but may claim a federal income tax deduction on account of certain dispositions of shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO.

The exercise price of an ISO may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Celtrix common stock on the date of grant of the option. The exercise price of nonqualified options may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of a share of Celtrix common stock on the date of grant of the option. The option holder may pay the exercise price in the form of consideration determined by the compensation committee, which may vary for each option. An option holder must exercise the option within ten years after the date the option is granted and may not transfer the option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

The compensation committee will adjust the number of shares available for issuance and the number, class, and price of shares subject to outstanding options as it deems appropriate in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other transaction that does not involve receipt of consideration by Celtrix. The Celtrix board of directors voted to have all outstanding options vest immediately prior to the effective time of the reorganizations. The Reorganization Agreement provides that all unexercised Celtrix options will be converted into options to purchase Insmed Incorporated common stock. The 1991 Stock Option Plan will terminate in 2001 or on any earlier date determined by the board of directors of Celtrix.

156

The 1991 Directors' Stock Option Plan. Under the Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 1991 Directors' Stock Option Plan, non-employee directors who own less than 2% of the outstanding common stock of Celtrix receive options for 40,000 shares of Celtrix common stock when they join the board of directors of Celtrix. These directors receive another option for 40,000 shares of Celtrix common stock every four years. Options become exercisable for one-fourth of the shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and for 1/48 of the shares remaining each month thereafter. Certain limitations on exercise apply following a termination of service on the board of directors.

Certain Transactions

In November 1998, Celtrix sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock in a private placement at $0.50 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to Celtrix of approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, Celtrix issued three-year warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Celtrix common stock at $0.55 per share. Purchasers in the offering included the following holders of more than 5% of Celtrix's outstanding common stock: Biotechnology Development Fund and Veron International, Ltd.

In January 1997, Celtrix entered into a two-year employment agreement with Andreas Sommer which provides in pertinent part for annual compensation of $215,000 as subsequently adjusted by the Compensation Committee, and up to 18 months severance, in the event of termination of employment under certain circumstances. In January 1999, Celtrix executed a one-year extension of the employment agreement with Dr. Sommer.

In January 1992, Celtrix loaned Dr. Sommer $60,000 to pay income taxes associated with Dr. Sommer's exercise of his options to purchase BioGrowth common stock. Celtrix secured the loan by Dr. Sommer's Celtrix stock and the loan bore interest at the rate of 5.12% per annum. In September 1998, the Celtrix board forgave the loan principal and accrued interest totaling $81,277. In December 1998, Celtrix paid withholding taxes of $28,813 due from Dr. Sommer upon forgiveness of the loan and Celtrix established a receivable in that amount.

Celtrix has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers that may require Celtrix, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, to advance their expenses as incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance if available on reasonable terms.

Celtrix believes that the transactions described above are on terms no less favorable to Celtrix than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. All future material transactions, including loans, between Celtrix and its officers, directors, principal stockholders and affiliates will be approved by a majority of the board of directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors on the board of directors, and will be on terms no less favorable to Celtrix than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

DESCRIPTION OF INSMED PHARMACEUTICALS

Business Overview

Insmed Pharmaceuticals develops drugs to treat metabolic and endocrine diseases. Its current programs address treatments for type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The Company was incorporated in Virginia in September 1988. As of December 31, 1999:

. Insmed Pharmaceuticals has raised $25,828,000 from the sale of its equity and $1,634,000 from sponsored research and other operating revenues; and

. Insmed Pharmaceuticals has spent $17,478,000 for research and development expenses, $7,800,000 for general and administrative expenses and $608,000 to purchase equipment.

The Company's lead product is INS-1, a naturally occurring insulin sensitizer. Unlike insulin, INS-1 achieves significant concentrations in the bloodstream following oral administration. The Company has conducted more than twenty pre-clinical studies of INS-1 and, as of December 31, 1999, has completed seven clinical trials with five additional clinical trials in progress. In Phase II clinical trials, INS-1 has demonstrated efficacy both in patients with type 2 diabetes and in women suffering from PCOS. In both pre-clinical and clinical studies, it has been tolerated well and shown no evidence of organ toxicity. Seven new trials are expected to begin in 2000.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals currently has 13 U.S.-issued patents covering use and methods of manufacture. Certain of the patents are licensed exclusively to Insmed Pharmaceuticals under a license agreement with the University of Virginia Patent Foundation. See "License Agreement" on page ___ for a more detailed description of the license agreement.

Medical Background

Diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by an inability to properly store and use glucose and is caused by either a deficiency of insulin or a failure of insulin to produce "insulin mediator" which regulates and coordinates the effects of insulin inside the cell. In the United States, diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death by disease and is estimated to afflict 16 million people with around 800,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Each year, 200,000 Americans die from diabetes-related complications.

Many tissues of the body normally rely on glucose, a form of sugar, as a source of metabolic energy. Most cells store significant amounts of glucose as glycogen, but certain tissues, especially the brain, depend upon the blood to deliver a continuous supply of glucose. The concentration of glucose in the bloodstream must be controlled within a relatively tight range to maintain normal health. If blood glucose drops too low, causing hypoglycemia, the brain and nervous system stop working properly. This can cause faintness, weakness, tremulousness, headache, confusion, and personality changes. Severe hypoglycemia can progress to convulsions, coma, and death. If blood glucose rises too high, causing hyperglycemia, there may be excess urine production, thirst, weight loss, fatigue, and in the most severe cases, dehydration, coma, and death. Moreover, hyperglycemia causes damage from chemical reactions between the excess glucose and proteins in cells, tissues, and organs. Over long periods, episodes of hyperglycemia are thought to lead to diabetic complications, including blindness, kidney failure, impotence and increased susceptibility to infection.

161

To control the storage and metabolism of blood glucose, the pancreas makes hormones that signal either removal or addition of glucose to the blood, depending on the need. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that lowers blood glucose levels. Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone that raises blood glucose levels. Although certain other hormones affect blood glucose levels, insulin and glucagon are considered the principal regulators of glucose metabolism associated with eating. When the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream is not controlled within a relatively tight range, severe complications result. The principal disease associated with abnormal glucose metabolism is diabetes, which is defined by the presence of elevated blood glucose levels.

Over the last 20 years, it has become generally accepted that there are several distinct subclasses of diabetes, the two most important of which are Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes typically begins during childhood or early adulthood. Type 1 diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin, resulting in deficient hormonal control of glucose metabolism and abnormally high blood glucose levels. It is estimated that there are over 1 million Type 1 diabetics in the United States, and about 45,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

Type 2 diabetes is much more prevalent and typically begins during or after middle age. In type 2 diabetes, the problem is not a lack of insulin but rather an inability of insulin to produce "insulin mediator" and regulate blood glucose levels, a phenomenon known as insulin resistance. As a consequence, even though insulin continues to be secreted by the pancreas, blood glucose is poorly controlled. Over time, the resulting episodes of hyperglycemia are thought to cause widespread tissue damage, including possible damage to insulin secretion mechanisms in the pancreas. It is currently estimated that 20% of the population have some degree of insulin resistance, 11% have impaired glucose tolerance, a condition characterized by normal blood glucose levels before eating but a tendency toward hyperglycemia afterward, and 6% have type 2 diabetes. Each year, the cost of diabetes management in the United States is in excess of $100 billion.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is a major women's health disorder that affects approximately 6% of women of reproductive age. PCOS is characterized by hyperandrogenism and the absence of ovulation and is the leading cause of female infertility in the United States. Recent studies suggest that insulin resistance accompanied by compensatory hyperinsulinemia is a common feature of PCOS with excessive insulin secretion being responsible in part for the hyperandrogenism of the disorder. Clinical studies have demonstrated that excess testosterone concentrations decrease when insulin resistance is reduced by drugs or by diet. This suggests that correcting the underlying insulin resistance is an important target for clinical intervention for patients suffering from PCOS. Women with this disorder are often overweight, have excess facial hair and menstrual irregularities. The long-term dangers of PCOS arise from the various medical complications that occur as a consequence of the underlying disease. When compared to their normal counterparts, women with PCOS have a four-fold increase in the risk of developing hypertension, a seven-fold increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and a seven-fold increase in the risk of having a heart attack. In addition, women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing endometrial cancer.

Scientific Background

Insmed Pharmaceuticals' core technology is based on more than 20 years of research at the University of Virginia School of Medicine on the biochemistry of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is an important metabolic disorder that precedes type 2 diabetes, PCOS and other conditions. It is caused by a defect in the body's ability to respond properly to insulin and is thought to exist in 20% of the United States population.

162

Insulin is the primary hormone that circulates in the bloodstream to regulate blood glucose. When released from the pancreas, insulin circulates in the bloodstream and binds to receptors on the outer surface of various organs and tissues, such as the liver, skeletal muscle and fat. After it binds to a surface receptor on a normal cell, an "insulin mediator" is produced that regulates and coordinates the effects of the hormone inside the cell. Work at the University of Virginia has demonstrated that defects in the production of this mediator contribute to the severity of insulin resistance.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals' lead product candidate, INS-1, is a component of this mediator. Insmed Pharmaceuticals believes that administration of INS-1 will act as a building block to enhance replacement of the missing mediator, and has the potential to enhance the metabolic effects of insulin in the body and improve clinical management of insulin resistance.

Emerging Product Profile for INS-1. Insmed Pharmaceuticals believes that INS-1 has several features that make it a desirable pharmaceutical product:

. Efficacy Profile. In phase II clinical studies, INS-1 has demonstrated efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes and women suffering from PCOS.

. Toxicity Profile. In both pre-clinical and clinical studies, INS-1 has been well-tolerated with no evidence of toxicity.

. Oral Product. INS-1, unlike insulin, achieves significant concentrations in the bloodstream following oral administration. This facilitates a patient's compliance with the recommended dosing regimen.

. Manufacturing and Product Stability. INS-1 is a simple molecule with an excellent stability profile. It can be synthesized using readily available raw materials.

Current Treatment and Market Opportunities

There are few therapeutic options available for treatment of the diabetic patient. The mainstay therapies consist primarily of injectable insulin replacement, particularly in the type 1 diabetic, and oral hypoglycemic agents for the type 2 diabetic who has failed dietary modification. It is estimated that one-third of all diabetic patients use insulin and an additional one-third are prescribed oral agents. The current marketplace consists of three key classes of oral drugs: biguanides (metformin), thiazolidinediones (troglitazone, rosiglitazone and pioglitazone) and the sulfonylureas (glyburide and glipizide). Oral antidiabetic agents currently generate pharmaceutical revenues in excess of $2 billion dollars in the United States with sales of troglitazone and metformin contributing in excess of $1.5 billion. Industry analysts predict that the introduction of newer thiazolidinediones will increase the U.S. market considerably in the next several years.

While these therapies service a multi-billion dollar market, they have limitations. The risk of hypoglycemia, which can precipitate coma, convulsion and death, is the primary fear associated with intensive insulin use. Oral sulfonylurea drugs are used to control hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetics; however, these drugs are not universally effective and carry the risk of increased cardiovascular mortality with their use. The use of troglitazone has been associated with liver injury and death, and the FDA recommends intensive liver monitoring while using this therapy. The use of troglitazone has been disallowed in Europe.

163

Currently, there are no therapies approved to treat PCOS. Treatment is targeted at symptoms rather than the underlying cause and includes the use of fertility agents such as clomiphene and human gonadotropins, oral contraceptives for menstrual regulation and weak anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism and acne. In addition, drugs such as metformin and troglitazone, which are indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, are prescribed off-label for the treatment of PCOS.

Clinical Development and Regulatory Program for INS-1

Summary of Ongoing and Completed Studies. Insmed Pharmaceuticals has completed several pre-clinical toxicology studies and phase I/II clinical studies in support of the development of INS-1 for both type 2 diabetes and PCOS indications. As of December 31, 1999, twelve clinical studies have been performed or are in progress with 394 subjects exposed to INS-1, the longest exposure being for 8 weeks.

In all seven of the completed clinical studies, INS-1 was well-tolerated with no evidence of clinically relevant adverse events. The drug was well- absorbed in a dose-dependent manner and the absorption rate and magnitude was not affected by food or repeated administration. In the PCOS population, the drug was well-tolerated and showed statistically significant improvement in ovulation and in the biochemical markers of this condition. The results of the first part of the study (covering 44 patients) were reported in the April 29, 1999, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the drug was well-tolerated and showed a statistically significant improvement in glycemic and lipid profiles without weight gain. This data was presented at the June 1999 annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association.

Future Studies. Insmed Pharmaceuticals plans to conduct several phase II/III trials to document the safety and efficacy of the product in both type 2 diabetes and PCOS to support world-wide product registration.

Business Strategy

The key elements of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' business strategy for establishing a leading position in the development and marketing of drugs to treat endocrine and metabolic diseases and disorders are:

. Obtain regulatory approvals for INS-1 in the treatment of PCOS. After successful completion of its development program, Insmed Pharmaceuticals intends to file for U.S. regulatory approval.

. Retain commercial rights and market products in selected markets. Insmed Pharmaceuticals intends to retain market and distribution of INS-1 for PCOS in the United States. For type 2 diabetes and for territories outside of the United States, Insmed Pharmaceuticals will seek to establish corporate partnerships.

. Acquire and in-license additional products and technologies. Insmed Pharmaceuticals intends to expand its product portfolio in metabolic and endocrine disorders by acquiring, in-licensing and commercializing additional products.

Competition

Any product that Insmed Pharmaceuticals may develop will compete directly with products developed and marketed by other companies. In addition, other institutions, including pharmaceutical companies, universities, government agencies and public and private research organizations are attempting to develop and patent products that could compete with our products. These companies and institutions also compete with Insmed Pharmaceuticals in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel. Many of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater scientific research and product development capabilities, as well as financial, marketing and human resources, than Insmed Pharmaceuticals does.

Virtually all of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' competitors and potential competitors have greater research and development capabilities, experience, manufacturing, marketing, sales, financial and managerial resources than Insmed Pharmaceuticals now has. Insmed Pharmaceuticals' competitors may develop competing technologies, and obtain regulatory approval for products more rapidly than Insmed Pharmaceuticals does. This may allow them to obtain greater market acceptance of their products.

165

Developments by others may render some or all of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' proposed products or technologies uncompetitive or obsolete.

Currently, the majority of new drug development in the field of diabetes focuses on managing the established disease state and associated complications, including renal disease, blindness, ulcerations and neuropathic disease. Insmed Pharmaceuticals believes that, by focusing its research and development on the insulin-resistant condition, it is uniquely positioned to identify and treat people before they develop these disorders.

Drugs in research and development indicated specifically for the chronic treatment of type 2 diabetes fall into two major classes:

. newer insulins and peptides improving insulin release or action; and

. improved oral hypoglycemic agents.

New Insulins. Insulin is the primary therapy for diabetic patients. Albeit successful, insulin therapy has limitations. Long-term treatment relies on frequent subcutaneous injection of the hormone. The kinetics of absorption from injection sites are slower than, and do not mimic, the normal physiological release and distribution profile of naturally secreted insulin. Although potency and duration of action can be pre-selected, the risk of hypoglycemia resulting from overdosage or mismatching of peak insulin delivery to food intake always poses a problem. The results of a study conducted in 1994 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases demonstrated that the more vigorous the attempts to achieve normal blood glucose levels, the more frequent the episodes of hypoglycemia.

Improved Oral Hypoglycemic Agents. There are numerous products which have been approved for use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in place of or in addition to insulin therapy. These products include the following:

. Glucophage(R) is a proprietary product of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company that is used to improve diabetic patients' ability to control glucose without increasing serum insulin levels. It is believed to work, at least in part, by reducing glucose output from the liver.

. Arcabose(R) is a proprietary product sold in the United States by Bayer Corporation. The product is sold in Europe under the tradename Glucobay(TM). Acarbose reduces blood glucose levels primarily after meals by slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates and lengthening the time it takes for carbohydrates to convert to glucose.

. Avandia(R) and Actos(R) are proprietary products sold by Smith Kline Beecham plc and Eli Lilly and Company, respectively, and belong to a class of compounds referred to as glitazones. The products are believed to work in part by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Rezulin(R), another glitazone manufactured by Parke-Davis, a Warner Lambert Company division, was withdrawn from the market on March 22, 2000, after being linked to liver poisoning.

. Prandin(TM) is a proprietary product sold by Novo Nordisk A/S and Schering-Plough Corporation which has been approved by the FDA for certain diabetic patients. The product is believed to act via calcium channels to stimulate insulin secretion.

In addition to payments to be made by Insmed Pharmaceuticals to UVA Patent Foundation pursuant to the license agreement, the foundation has been issued common stock equal to 3% of the total outstanding stock of all classes issued by Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Under the license agreement, Insmed Pharmaceuticals is required to issue shares of its common stock each time shares of any class of stock are issued so that the foundation at all times has a 3% undiluted interest in Insmed Pharmaceuticals. As of December 31, 1999, the foundation had received 395,244 shares of common stock under the license agreement. These issuances have been recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of the respective transaction. Related expenses of $110,921 in 1999, $165,016 in 1998, $112,817 in 1997 and $1,053,218 on a cumulative basis since inception have been included in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The foundation's right to receive shares of capital stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals will terminate on the date immediately preceding the date the SEC declares effective this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Patents

Insmed Pharmaceuticals has 13 U.S.-issued patents. Ten of the issued patents are exclusively licensed from the University of Virginia, and three are the sole property of Insmed Pharmaceuticals. Insmed Pharmaceuticals also has four pending patent applications covering defined compounds and their use in the diagnosis and treatment of insulin resistance. Patent applications have been filed in major international markets.

The issued patents cover use of compounds to treat insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, use of compounds to screen individuals for insulin resistance associated with type 2 diabetes, compositions and methods for treating metabolic disorders, processes by which compounds are manufactured and the purification, character and function of certain compounds. Pending applications cover broader claims for use of compounds in the treatment of insulin resistance.

Our patents expire at various times between May 2001 and January 2018. Our most significant patent "Dietary supplement for Insulin Resistant Diabetics" does not expire until 2009. The Waxman-Hatch Act provides that patent terms may be extended during the FDA regulatory review period for the related product. This period is generally one-half the time between the effective date of an investigational new drug application and the submission date of a new drug application, plus the time between the submission date of a new drug application and the approval of that application, subject to a maximum extension of five years. Similar patent term extensions are available under European laws. The following is a table which lists each of Insmed Pharmaceuticals patents and their expiration date.

Government Regulation

The research, development, testing, manufacture, promotion, marketing and distribution of drug products are extensively regulated by government authorities in the United States and other countries. Drugs are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. The steps ordinarily required before a new drug may be marketed in the United States, which are similar to steps required in most other countries, include:

. Preclinical laboratory tests, preclinical studies in animals and formulation studies and the submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application for a new drug or antibiotic;

168

. Adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug for each indication;

. The submission of a new drug application to the FDA; and

. FDA review and approval of the new drug application before any commercial sale or shipment of the drug.

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry toxicity and formulation, as well as animal studies. The results of preclinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new drug application. A 30-day waiting period after the filing of each investigational new drug application is required before beginning clinical tests in humans. At any time during this 30-day period or at any time thereafter, the FDA may halt proposed or ongoing clinical trials until the FDA authorizes trials under specified terms. The investigational new drug application process may be extremely costly and substantially delay development of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' products. Moreover, positive results of preclinical tests will not necessarily indicate positive results in clinical trials.

Clinical trials to support new drug applications are typically conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap. During Phase I, the initial introduction to the drug into healthy human subjects or patients, the drug is tested to assess metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacological actions and safety, including side effects associated with increasing doses.

Phase II usually involves studies in a limited patient population to:

. Assess the efficacy of the drug in specific, targeted indications;
. Assess dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and
. Identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

If a compound is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II evaluations, Phase III trials, also called pivotal studies, major studies or advanced clinical trails, are undertaken to further demonstrate clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical study sites.

After successful completion of the required clinical testing, generally a new drug application is submitted. The FDA may request additional information before accepting a new drug application for filing, in which case the application must be resubmitted with the additional information. Once the submission has been accepted for filing, the FDA has 180 days to review the application and respond to the applicant. The review process is often significantly extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification. The FDA may refer the new drug application to an appropriate advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved, but the FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee.

If FDA evaluations of the new drug application and related manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA may issue either an approval letter or an approvable letter. An approvable letter will usually contain a number of conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the new drug application and authorization of commercial marketing of the drug for certain indications. The FDA may refuse to approve the new drug application or issue a not approvable letter, outlining the deficiencies in the submission and often requiring additional testing or information.

169

If regulatory approval of any of Insmed Pharmaceuticals' products is granted, it will be limited to certain disease states or conditions. The manufacturers of approved products and their manufacturing facilities will be subject to continual review and periodic inspections. Because Insmed Pharmaceuticals intends to contract with third parties for manufacturing of its products, its control of compliance with FDA requirements will be incomplete. In addition, identification of certain side effects or the occurrence of manufacturing problems after any of its drugs are on the market could cause subsequent withdrawal of approval, reformulation of the drug, additional preclinical testing or clinical trials, and changes in labeling of the product.

Outside the United States, Insmed Pharmaceuticals' ability to market its products will also be contingent upon receiving marketing authorizations from the appropriate regulatory authorities. The foreign regulatory approval process includes all of the risks associated with FDA approval described above. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials and marketing authorization vary widely from country to country. At present, foreign marketing authorizations are applied for at a national level, although within Europe procedures are available to companies wishing to market a product in more than one EU member state.

Under a new regulatory system in the EU, marketing authorizations may be submitted at either a centralized, a decentralized or a national level. The centralized procedure is mandatory for the approval of biotechnology products and high technology products and available at the applicant's option for other products. The centralized procedure provides for the grant of a single marketing authorization that is valid in all EU member states. The decentralized procedure is available for all medicinal products that are not subject to the centralized procedure. The decentralized procedure provides for mutual recognition of national approval decisions, changes existing procedures for national approvals and establishes procedures for coordinated EU actions on products, suspensions and withdrawals. Under this procedure, the holder of a national marketing authorization for which mutual recognition is sought may submit an application to one or more EU member states, certify that the dossier is identical to that on which the first approval was based or explain any differences and certify that identical dossiers are being submitted to all member states for which recognition is sought. Within 90 days of receiving the application and assessment report, each EU member state must decide whether to recognize approval. The procedure encourages member states to work with applicants and other regulatory authorities to resolve disputes concerning mutual recognition. Lack of objection of a given country within 90 days automatically results in approval of the EU country.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals will choose the appropriate route of European regulatory filing to accomplish the most rapid regulatory approvals. However, the chosen regulatory strategy may not secure regulatory approvals or approvals of the chosen product indications. Insmed Pharmaceuticals intends to secure European regulatory approval for the use of INS-1 in parallel with its United States and Canadian regulatory filings.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion also should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1998

Results of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 1999, revenues were $663,000, compared with $100,000 for 1998. Revenues for both periods consist primarily of grants under the Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR). The revenue recorded in 1999 relates to a SBIR grant to fund a phase II study in PCOS subjects. The revenue recorded in 1998 relates to an SBIR grant to fund a phase I study in PCOS subjects. Research and development expense was $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The $2.5 million (66%) increase was caused by higher clinical trial costs. General and administrative expenses increased $819,000 or 50% to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase can be attributed to costs expended to obtain patent protection for technology in various countries, expenses incurred to develop strategic relationships for Insmed Pharmaceuticals, salary and benefits for the chief financial

171

officer hired in May, and increases in travel and office expenses. The increase is also related to the recognition of $280,000 of stock-based compensation. Interest income declined $148,000 to $338,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Lower average cash balances caused this decrease in 1999 compared to 1998.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

Results of Operations. Insmed Pharmaceuticals recorded revenues of $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. No revenue was recorded in 1997. The 1998 revenue related to a SBIR grant to fund a phase I study in PCOS subjects. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Insmed Pharmaceuticals expended $3.8 million on research and development. This was an increase of $1.2 million or 46% from the year ended December 31, 1997, in which $2.6 million was expended. In 1998, additional development personnel were hired to manage and conduct an increasing number of clinical trials. The number of pre-clinical toxicology studies increased significantly over the prior year. Additional lab space was necessary to accommodate the increase in activity and Insmed Pharmaceuticals utilized outside scientific consultants. General and administrative expenses increased $647,000 to $1.6 million from $979,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The two primary components of the increase were additional salary and wages associated with an increase in personnel and expenditures on investor relations. In June 1998, Insmed Pharmaceuticals received net proceeds of $14.0 million from the sale of its Series B Preferred Stock. This influx of cash caused an increase in the average cash balance in 1998 resulting in interest income of $486,000 for the year ending December 31, 1998, an increase of $383,000 over 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Since Insmed Pharmaceuticals' inception in 1988, we have financed our operations primarily through the private placement of preferred and common stock aggregating approximately $26.2 million through December 31, 1999. Our last private placement of stock occurred in June 1998 and generated net proceeds of $14 million. At December 31, 1999, our cash and investments were about $4.6 million. These funds are invested in money market instruments and investment grade corporate debt. Investments in both fixed and floating rate instruments carry interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to rises in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Insmed Pharmaceuticals does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material impact on the results of operations.

The acquisition of Celtrix will result in increased costs associated with the development of the acquired in process research and development. In addition, general and administrative expenses will increase as a result of costs associated with operating as a publicly-held company.

In January 2000, Insmed Pharmaceuticals entered into an agreement to sell 5,632,678 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 6,901,344 shares of common stock of Insmed Incorporated for aggregate consideration of $34.5 million. The warrants are exercisable for five years at a price of $2.25. Such sale is contingent on the completion of the merger with Celtrix. See "Recent Developments" on page ___ for more information on the agreement.

If we complete this financing, we believe that we will have adequate cash to meet the needs of the combined companies for at least two years. Our business strategy contemplates selling additional equity and entering into agreements with corporate partners to fund research and development, and provide milestone payments, license fees and equity investments to fund operations. We will need to raise substantial additional funds to continue development and commercialization of our products. There can be no assurance that adequate funds will be available when we need them, or on favorable terms. If

172

at any time we are unable to obtain sufficient additional funds, we will be required to delay, restrict or eliminate some or all of our research or development programs, dispose of assets or technology, or cease operations.

Impact of Year 2000

Insmed Pharmaceuticals replaced and upgraded much of its information technology in the normal course of business during 1999. Year 2000 failures have not had, and Insmed Pharmaceuticals does not believe they will have, a material adverse impact. The incremental costs of the project were not significant.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals invests its excess cash in investment grade, interest-bearing securities. At December 31, 1999, Insmed Pharmaceuticals had $1.0 million invested in money market mutual funds. Insmed Pharmaceuticals' investments in fixed rate securities are subject to interest rate and credit risk. Based on Insmed Pharmaceuticals' policy of investing in highly rated securities whose maturities at December 31, 1999 are all less than one year minimizes the risk associated with Insmed Pharmaceuticals' investment in fixed rate securities. While a hypothetical decrease in market interest rates by 10 percent from the December 31, 1999 levels would cause a decrease in interest income, it would not result in a loss of the principal. Additionally, the decrease in interest income would not be material.

(1) Options vest and become exercisable in equal monthly amounts over a four year period.
(2) No market currently exists for Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock. We have utilized the fair market value of Celtrix's common stock as reported on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market at the close of business on December 31, 1999, of $2.875 as a basis for determining whether the options granted to Dr. Allan and Mr. Baer are in the money. By applying the exchange ratio, of 3.5 to 1, dictated in the reorganization agreement, applicable to the Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock to the Celtrix market value per share it implies a market value of $10.06 for Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock. Based on this methodology we have classified all the options granted to Dr. Allan and Mr. Baer as in the money. The fair value of the stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing method assuming a risk free interest rate of 6.0%, no dividends, a volatility factor of 0.25, and a weighted average exercise life of four years. The application of this method resulted in a fair value per option between $0.87 and $1.38.

Stock Option Plans

The 1994 Stock Option Plan. Under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan) the company may select officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants of Insmed Pharmaceuticals to receive options to purchase common stock of Insmed Pharmaceuticals. The board of directors of Insmed Pharmaceuticals administers the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan but it may delegate some of its authority to a compensation committee appointed by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors. The board of directors or the compensation committee selects individuals who will participate in the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan, and establishes the terms of option grants made under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan, subject to the provisions of the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan.

Under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan the company may grant either options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or options not intended to so qualify. At the time an option is granted the recipient recognizes no income. If the option is an ISO, no income will be recognized upon exercise of the option. An Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan participant recognizes gain when he disposes of shares acquired under an ISO. The exercise of a nonqualified option generally is a taxable event that requires the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the difference between the shares' fair market value and the option price. Insmed Pharmaceuticals may claim a federal income tax deduction on account of the exercise of a nonqualified option. Insmed Pharmaceuticals may not claim a federal income tax deduction on account of the grant or the exercise of an ISO, but may claim a federal income tax deduction on account of certain dispositions of shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO.

The price per share purchased on exercise of an option granted under the 1994 stock option plan may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock on the date of grant of the option, and must be paid either by certified or bank check. No option may be exercised more than ten years after the date the option is granted, nor may any option be transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Certain limitations on exercise of options granted under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan apply following an employee's, director's or consultant's termination of employment of service.

The number of shares available for issuance under the Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan and the number, class, and price of shares subject to outstanding options shall be adjusted by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors or the compensation committee as it deems appropriate in the event of

175

a stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, share exchange, or similar event. The Insmed Pharmaceuticals 1994 Plan will terminate on December 31, 2003 or on any earlier date determined by the Insmed Pharmaceuticals board of directors.

Certain Transactions

Since October 1988, W. McIlwaine Thompson, Jr., of counsel to Woods, Rogers & Hazlegrove P.L.C., has provided legal assistance to Insmed Pharmaceuticals and Insmed Diagnostics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, on various matters. During 1999, Insmed Pharmaceuticals paid Woods, Rogers & Hazlegrove P.L.C. $38,806 for legal services rendered during the year.

Dr. Allan has been granted options to purchase a total of 865,000 shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock: 500,000 at a price of $0.15 per share; 250,000 at a price of $0.50 per share, 100,000 at a price of $0.80 per share and 15,000 at a price of $3.00 per share. On October 15, 1997, Insmed Pharmaceuticals loaned Dr. Allan $44,375.10 which he used to purchase 295,834 shares of Insmed Pharmaceuticals common stock pursuant to vested options. Of his remaining 569,166 options, 295,206 were vested and exercisable as of December 31, 1999. Mr. Baer has been granted options to purchase 90,000 shares at a price of $0.80 per share vesting monthly at a rate of 1,875 shares per month over 48 months commencing May 1999.

(1) Shares subject to options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 1999, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from September 21, 1988 (inception) to December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 and for the period from September 21, 1988 (inception) to December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(a development stage company)

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (continued) December 31, 1999

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) is a development stage biopharmaceutical company incorporated in September 1988 to conduct research and development aimed at treating type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome and other diseases associated with insulin resistance. The following is a description of the Company's more significant accounting policies:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Insmed Diagnostics, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all cash equivalents are held in a short-term money market account with a bank.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of corporate debt securities, all of which mature within one year. Management classifies the company's marketable securities as available for sale. Such securities are stated at market value, with the unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on securities available for sale are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is calculated using the specific identification method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over periods ranging from three to seven years.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost is recognized for the excess of the estimated fair value of the stock at the grant date over the exercise price, if any. Disclosures regarding alternative fair value measurement and recognition methods prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation, are presented in Note 2.

Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the equity instrument is recorded on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date the services required are completed.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (continued)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The Company has received funding from the U.S. government and certain corporations in support of research, in some cases in return for permitting those corporations exclusive review of certain research results for limited time periods. Revenue from achievement of milestone events is recognized when the results stipulated in the related agreement have been met and there are no remaining performance obligations. Grant revenues, including payments irrevocably received, are recognized as the related work is performed. Revenue related to future performance is deferred and recognized as revenue when earned.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's diluted net loss per share is the same as its basic net loss per share because all stock options, warrants, and other potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

2. Pending Acquisition of Celtrix Pharmaceuticals

On November 30, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Celtrix"). At closing, each common share of Celtrix will be exchanged for one share of common stock in a newly formed holding company (Insmed Incorporated). The aggregate par value and related dividends of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price per share of $2.006. The holders of Celtrix Series A Preferred Stock will receive one share of common stock of Insmed Incorporated on an as converted basis. Each preferred and common share of the Company will be exchanged for three and one-half shares of common stock of Insmed Incorporated. All options and warrants outstanding at the time of the transaction will convert into options and warrants of the holding company. The acquisition of Celtrix by the Company is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies, as well as certain other conditions. The Company's current management and board of directors will govern the holding company.

The Company has incurred $375,784 of legal, due diligence and other costs in 1999 related to the acquisition. These costs are reflected in other assets and will be included in determining the purchase price of Celtrix.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

3. Commitment to Issue Equity

The Company entered into an agreement to sell 5,632,678 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 6,901,344 shares of common stock of Insmed Incorporated for $34.5 million. The warrants are exercisable for five years at a price of $2.25. Such sale is contingent upon approval of the merger with Celtrix by the shareholders of both companies.

The proceeds of the issuance of the shares and warrants are expected to fund Insmed Incorporated's research and development activities for at least two years. Continuation of the present level of research and development efforts is contingent upon continued availability of adequate financing. If the Celtrix acquisition and the equity issuance are not consummated, management of the Company intends to pursue and believes it can obtain other financing arrangements including private placements and strategic partnerships.

4. Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference ahead of all other classes of capital stock, and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference ahead of common stock equal to its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends. Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends if declared by the board of directors and in preference to common stockholders.

Each holder of the preferred stock can convert these shares into an equal number of shares of common stock at any time. These shares will automatically convert at the time of the merger with Celtrix or otherwise upon a public offering with gross proceeds of at least $10 million (at a price per share of at least $4.95) or the vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares.

The preferred stock entitles the holders to vote in all corporate matters and approval of certain matters requires the majority vote of the outstanding shares.

In 1997, the holders of the Series A shares agreed to eliminate their redemption rights to enable additional financing for the Company.

Common Stock

Periodically, the Company has issued shares of common stock in exchange for services provided by stockholders and others. These issuances have been recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of the respective transactions and corresponding amounts have been reflected as expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations or netted against additional capital. The estimated fair values used in recording these transactions were based upon recent issuances of equity for cash, principally the sale of preferred stock, taking into consideration the aggregate liquidation preferences of the preferred stock.

(a development stage company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In 1992, the Company's board of directors declared a five-for-one common stock split that was effected in the form of a stock dividend. All share activity before the split and all stock option and stock warrant data have been restated to reflect the stock split.

4. Stockholders' Equity (continued)

Stock Options and Warrants

In 1994, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of a stock option plan for its key employees, directors, and consultants. The plan provides for issuance of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. At December 31, 1999, 33,582 options remain available for new grants under the plan. Options may be granted at the discretion of the board of directors at exercise prices not less than the estimated fair value of such shares at the date of grant. Before adopting this plan, the Company granted other stock options to certain employees, directors, and consultants pursuant to agreements approved by the board of directors.

A summary of stock option activity since inception is as follows (as adjusted for the stock split):

                                                                Weighted

If the Company had accounted for its employee stock awards under the fair value based method, the net loss would have increased by approximately $48,000 for 1999, $16,000 for 1998, and $10,000 for 1997. The basic and diluted net loss per share would have increased $.01 in 1999, $.00 in 1998, $.00 in 1997. These pro forma amounts are not indicative of future effects of applying the fair value based method since stock based awards granted may vary from year to year and vesting periods of one to four years were used to measure pro forma compensation expense. The fair value for these awards was estimated at the date of grant using the Black- Scholes pricing method assuming a weighted average volatility rate of 0.25, risk-free interest rate of 6.0%, no dividends, and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 4 years (2 years in 1998 and 1997).

The Company has an agreement with its founding scientist to grant options to enable him to maintain a three percent interest in the equity of the Company as new equity securities are issued. The exercise price for these options is equal to the issue price of the new securities. The right to continuing options will expire one day before the merger with Celtrix or before a public offering.

Warrants were issued periodically to certain stockholders, directors, and consultants for the purchase of common stock. At December 31, 1999, warrants were outstanding to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share. All of the warrants are exercisable and will expire on January 31, 2002 or upon the effective date of a registration statement for a public offering.

A total of 11,439,894 shares of common stock were reserved at December 31, 1999 in connection with stock options, stock warrants, and potential conversions of the preferred stock.

5. Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of approximately $8.3 million and $5.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, arise primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. Due to the Company's cumulative losses, these amounts have been entirely offset by a valuation allowance.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $ 20.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively, expiring in various years beginning in 2003. Utilization of these carryforwards will be limited due to changes in the ownership of the Company's common stock.

6. Leases

The Company leases office and laboratory space under operating lease agreements expiring in February 2002. The leases provide for monthly rent of approximately $14,300 with a 2.5% escalation per year. The Company also leases a vehicle, office equipment and additional laboratory space.

Future minimum payments on these leases at December 31, 1999 were as follows:

Year                                       Amount
----                                      --------
2000                                      $227,858
2001                                       216,278
2002                                        35,362
                                          --------
                                          $479,498
                                          ========

Rent expense for all operating leases amounted to $243,010 in 1999, $222,747 in 1998, $127,434 in 1997 and $842,081 on a cumulative basis since inception.

7. Employee Benefit Plan

In 1996, the Company adopted a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Participants may elect to contribute a specified portion of their compensation to the plan on a tax- deferred basis. The Company has never contributed to this plan.

8. License Agreement

In 1988, the Company entered into a license agreement with The University of Virginia Alumni Patents Foundation (the Foundation). The agreement, as amended in 1991, provides the Company an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and sell products related to certain patent rights for insulin resistance and associated disorders.

In consideration for the license agreement, Insmed Pharmaceuticals is obligated to pay minimum annual licensing fees of $100,000 as well as patent costs through the expiration of the patent rights. Insmed Pharmaceuticals must pay the Foundation a royalty on the net sales of therapeutic drugs covered by the license agreement. Royalties earned by the Foundation will reduce licensing fees and, in case of patent infringement, Insmed Pharmaceuticals may use 50% of royalties payable to the foundation to cover expenses it incurs to defend the patents.

Under the license agreement, the Company is required to issue shares of its common stock each time shares of any class of stock are issued so that the Foundation at all times has a 3% undiluted interest in the Company. As of December 31, 1999, the Foundation had received 395,244 shares of common stock under the license agreement. These issuances have been recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of the respective transaction. Related expenses of $110,921 in 1999, $165,016 in 1998, $112,817 in 1997 and $1,053,218 on a cumulative basis since inception have been included in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The right to receive such stock expires one day before the merger with Celtrix or before a public offering.

The Company also provides support for research at the University of Virginia (UVA) that contributes toward commercial development of its planned products. Certain of the Company's research activities have taken place at UVA. The Company has also supported the research through consulting payments to individuals conducting additional research work beyond their commitments as employees of UVA. Total expense for research support to UVA amounted to $347,324 in 1999, $180,000 in 1998, $191,600 in 1997 and $1,501,975 on a cumulative basis since inception.

9. Related Party Transactions

The Company retained one of its directors as general counsel until June 1996 and subsequently retained him as corporate secretary. Payments for these services amounted to $38,806 in 1999, $18,060 in 1998, $12,952 in 1997 and $266,865 on a cumulative basis since inception.

On October 15, 1997, the Company loaned $44,375 to its chief executive officer which he used to purchase 295,834 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to a stock option agreement. The note is collateralized by the shares purchased and is payable on September 30, 2002. Interest accrues at 6.23% per annum. The principal and accrued interest are presented as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of seriously debilitating, degenerative conditions primarily associated with severe trauma, chronic diseases or aging. The Company operates in the business segment.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Celtrix and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

At March 31, 1999, the Company had net working capital of $0.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $130.4 million, and incurred a net loss of $13.4 million for the year ended March 31, 1999. Working capital was increased in April 1999 from the issuance of common stock to Elan International Services, Ltd., which resulted in net proceeds of $2.3 million. The Company expects current cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from the April 1999 financing, will be sufficient to fund operations into the third calendar quarter of 2000. The Company will be required to seek additional funds to finance operations beyond that period. The transaction with Elan Corporation, plc provides for the purchase by Elan of additional Celtrix equity securities, the proceeds from which will be used to fund the Company's share of anticipated clinical expenses associated with the joint venture's large-scale trial in osteoporosis (recovery from hip fracture surgery).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Celtrix considers all highly liquid investment securities with maturity from date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents and investment securities with maturity from date of purchase of more than three months to be short-term investments.

To date, all marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated deficit. Fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, and the costs of securities sold are based on the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the period from acquisition to maturity and are included in investment income, along with interest and dividends.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (three to seven years) of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Intangible Assets

Intangible and other assets consist primarily of patents. Patents, carried at cost, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related intellectual property, generally 12 years. Celtrix regularly performs reviews regarding the carrying value of the assets. The reviews look for the existence of facts or circumstances, either internal or external, which may indicate that the carrying value of the assets cannot be recovered. To date no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

F-22

Licensing revenues are recorded when contractually earned with consideration given to future performance obligations, if any. Celtrix has no licensing revenues that are refundable if the research effort is not successful. Revenue from product sales is recognized at time of shipment.

Licensing revenues from a single customer in 1999, 1998, and 1997 were 86%, 75% and 75%, of the company's total licensing revenues, respectively. Licensing revenues from a Japanese company were 75% of total licensing revenues in 1998 and 1997.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation" in October 1995, which encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has elected to follow the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 for the fiscal years ended 1999, 1998 and 1997 (see Note 5) and will continue to measure stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.

Stock options granted to non-employees for services rendered are accounted for at fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard

In April 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net loss or shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income (loss) approximates net loss for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

During fiscal years 1999 and 1998, no securities were sold prior to maturity.

3. Assets Held for Sale

As a result of the September 1998 restructuring and the discontinuation of manufacturing, the Company is in the process of selling certain equipment and other fixed assets. The assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying values or fair value, less costs to sell.

4. Debt and Commitments

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had fully amortized its obligation under capital leases and debt arrangements. Amortization expense for leased assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

As a result of restructuring the Company and discontinuing manufacturing operations in September 1998, the Company terminated its office, laboratory and manufacturing facility lease effective November 1998. The Company also terminated certain equipment operating leases as a result of the restructuring. The Company currently leases offices in San Jose under an operating lease which expires in December 1999. Deferred rent at March 31, 1998 reflects the landlord's funding of certain leasehold improvements prior to lease commencement and was amortized over the lease term to offset rent expense. Rent expense was $600,000, $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under operating leases at March 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands):

5.   Incentive and Benefit Plans

In September 1997, the stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the 1991 Directors' Stock Option Plan, 200,000 shares of Celtrix's common stock have been reserved for issuance. The exercise prices under these plans are determined by the Board of Directors or its committee and may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Celtrix's common stock at the time of grant. The options expire ten years from the date of grant, unless otherwise provided in the option agreement. The options generally become vested and exercisable over four years.

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to March 31, 1995 under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.88%, 6.03%, and 6.55%; dividend yields of zero; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .801, .792 and .733; and an expected option life of 5 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected option life. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

In September 1998, the stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company's 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan from 250,000 to 500,000 shares of common stock. Under the plan, employees have an opportunity to purchase common stock of Celtrix at 85% of the fair market value at the beginning or end of each 12-month offering period, whichever is lower. The first offering period commenced January 1, 1994. As of March 31, 1999, 176,880 shares of common stock have been issued to company employees. There were no shares issued, and subsequently no fair value of employees' purchase rights estimated, for 1999. The fair value of the employees' purchase rights for 1998 and 1997, respectively, was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 5.59% and 5.66%; dividend yields of zero; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .792 and .733; and an expected life of 1 year.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows (in thousands except for net loss per share information):

                                  1999       1998       1997

Pro forma net loss per share    $  (0.58)  $  (0.63)  $  (0.85)

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $1.14, $1.59, and $1.47, respectively.

Under Celtrix's 1991 retirement savings plan ("401(k) Plan"), employees may elect to defer up to 20% of their total compensation, not to exceed the amount allowed by applicable Internal Revenue Service guidelines. There were no employer contributions to the plan as of March 31, 1999.

F-26

6. Stockholders' Equity

In November 1998, Celtrix sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock in a private placement at $0.50 per share, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, the Company issued a three-year warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Celtrix common stock at $0.55 per share. As of March 31, 1999, 6,000,000 shares of warrants are outstanding.

In April 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 5,721,876 newly issued shares of common stock at $2.438 per share. For every two shares of stock issued, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase an additional share of Celtrix common stock at $2.682 per share. The warrants are exercisable only after the shares of stock are held for at least one year and as of March 31, 1999, there were 2,758,391 warrants outstanding related to this financing (102,543 were cancelled due to the sale of stock). The warrant expires in April 2000. The net proceeds to the Company, after fees and expenses of approximately $619,000, were $13.3 million.

7. License and Collaborative Arrangements

In July 1994, Celtrix entered into a license agreement with The Green Cross Corporation ("Green Cross"), covering the development and commercialization of SomatoKine for the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, Green Cross was to be responsible for all related research, development and marketing, as well as manufacturing the product to support its preclinical, clinical and commercial needs in Japan. The agreement provided for Celtrix to receive licensing fees, milestone payments upon Green Cross accomplishing specific product development activities and royalties on future product sales. Celtrix retained full rights outside of Japan to SomatoKine and also to related know-how and technology developed by Green Cross. In April 1998, Green Cross was merged with Yoshitomi Pharmaceuticals Industries, Ltd. In May 1998, Celtrix received notice from Yoshitomi of its intent to terminate this license agreement. This license was terminated in March 1999 upon the payment by Yoshitomi of $600,000 to Celtrix. Celtrix regained the rights to the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan.

In June 1994, the Company entered into a product development, license and marketing agreement with Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") on TGF-beta-2 which includes equity investments, milestone payments and potential royalties to Celtrix. As part of the agreement, Celtrix sold to Genzyme 1,550,388 shares of Celtrix common stock in June 1994, and subsequently, in December 1995 Celtrix exercised the option to receive an additional investment by Genzyme for 1,472,829 shares of Celtrix common stock resulting in $4.4 million of net proceeds to the Company. Under recently amended terms, Genzyme has been granted expanded worldwide commercialization rights for all systemic applications and select local applications of TGF-beta-2 to include Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan; in exchange, Genzyme released Celtrix from certain service and royalty obligations under the original agreement. Celtrix has retained rights to select applications of TGF-beta-2 and the Company has the option to reacquire rights to other product applications not pursued by Genzyme. In December 1997, the Company also entered into a new license agreement with Genzyme granting Genzyme a worldwide exclusive royalty-bearing license to TGF-beta antibodies, and license and sublicense rights to TGF-beta receptor. Under the terms of the agreement, Genzyme will assume the licensing and royalty obligations of Celtrix related to TGF-beta receptor.

Since inception, Celtrix has entered into various other research and development and licensing arrangements. Some of these agreements contain royalty and other obligations.

8. Restructuring Costs

During fiscal year 1999, the Company restructured to focus on the clinical development of SomatoKine, cease manufacturing operations and reduce the cash burn rate. As a result, the Company recognized a $5.2 million restructuring charge in the quarter ended September 30, 1998 consisting of a $5.3 million non- cash write-off of leasehold improvements partly offset by $816,000 non-cash reduction of deferred rent liability, $358,000 in severance expenses, $250,000 related to non-cancelable operating lease obligations, and $75,000 in other restructuring-related charges. As part of the restructuring, the Company reduced its workforce by 69 employees,

F-27

or approximately 90%, by the end of the calendar year. The reduction in workforce affected all levels of staff in manufacturing and other functions. As of March 31, 1999, the Company has no restructuring liabilities remaining to be paid.

9. Gain on Sale of Investments

In June 1997, the Company sold 43,750 shares of Prograft Medical, Inc. preferred stock, resulting in the recording of $737,000 in gain on investment. These shares were held by Celtrix since 1993.

10. Income Taxes

At March 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $127.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, expiring in the years 2006 through 2019. The federal net operating loss carryforward differs from the accumulated deficit principally due to (i) the nondeductibility for tax purposes of the charges for in-process research and development resulting from the BioGrowth, Inc. merger and the Baltimore Biotech, Inc. acquisition, and (ii) timing differences in the recognition of certain revenue and expense items for financial and federal tax reporting purposes (primarily certain expenses not currently deductible). Approximately $8.8 million of the total federal net operating losses are available only to offset future consolidated taxable income to the extent contributed by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, BioGrowth, Inc.

The valuation allowance increased by $5.4 million, $4.8 million, and $5.2 million during the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

11. Subsequent Event

The Company entered into an agreement on April 21, 1999 with Elan Corporation, plc to establish a joint venture (Celtrix Newco Ltd), a company incorporated in Bermuda for the development of SomatoKine to treat osteoporosis using Elan's MEDIPAD Delivery System.

The joint venture company is initially owned 80.1% by Celtrix and 19.9% by Elan. The new company has licensed SomatoKine technology from Celtrix and MEDIPAD technology from Elan. Celtrix has invested $8.01 million in the joint venture and Elan has invested $1.99 million. At the time of closing, Elan International Services, Ltd. (EIS) purchased $8.01 million of Celtrix Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock, which is convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share or exchangeable for an incremental 30.1% ownership in the joint venture to a total of 50.0%. If the exchange right is excercised, the Series A Convertible/Exchangeable

Preferred Stock will be cancelled. The Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock pays a 5% annual in-kind dividend.

The agreement with Elan also provides for EIS to purchase from time to time Series B Convertible Preferred Stock up to an amount of $4.8 million, the proceeds from which sale will be used by Celtrix to fund its share of the joint venture's operating expenses. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share and pays a 9% annual in-kind dividend.

Elan received a $10 million license payment from the joint venture for the use of MEDIPAD technology while Celtrix will have an 80% share in any future proceeds related to the further development and commercialization of the osteoporosis product (e.g. upfront payments, milestones or royalties) received by the joint venture, regardless of ownership, until it is paid $10 million. Thereafter, Celtrix and Elan will share the joint venture's proceeds in accordance with their ownership interests.

In April 1999, in a separate transaction, the Company issued 1,508,751 shares of common stock to Elan International Services, Ltd. at a price of $1.657 per share, amounting to $2.3 million (net of expenses).

CELTRIX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of its operations and its cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

On December 1, 1999, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement for Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Insmed") to acquire Celtrix. The acquisition of Celtrix by Insmed, a bioscience company focused on the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions associated with insulin resistance, including type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies, as well as certain other contingencies and is expected to close at the beginning of the second quarter, 2000. At closing, each share of Celtrix will be exchanged for one share in a newly formed holding company and each share of Insmed will be exchanged for three and one-half shares. Prior to the closing of the financing described below, Celtrix's current shareholders will hold approximately 43 percent and Insmed's current shareholders will hold approximately 57% of the new company. The exchange will be tax-free for both companies' shareholders. The newly formed holding company expects to be a publicly traded company.

In connection with the merger, Insmed entered into an agreement to sell 5,632,678 shares of its common stock and warrants, exercisable for five years, to purchase 6,901,344 shares of common stock of the newly formed holding company. The proceeds from the financing will be approximately $34.5 million. Subsequent to the financing, the new investors, Celtrix's current shareholders and Insmed's current shareholders will hold approximately 22%, 34% and 44%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of the newly formed holding company, on a fully diluted basis. Such sale is contingent upon completion of the merger with Celtrix.

3. Joint Venture with Elan Corporation, plc

On April 21, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Elan Corporation, plc to establish a joint venture company (Celtrix Newco, Ltd.), a company incorporated in Bermuda, for the development of SomatoKine to treat osteoporosis using Elan's MEDIPAD Delivery System.

The joint venture company is initially owned 80.1% by Celtrix and 19.9% by Elan. The joint venture company has licensed SomatoKine technology from Celtrix and MEDIPAD technology from Elan. Celtrix initially invested $8.01 million in the joint venture and Elan invested $1.99 million. At the time of closing, Elan International Services, Ltd. (EIS) purchased $8.01 million of Celtrix Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock, which, with all accrued and unpaid dividends, is convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share or exchangeable for an incremental 30.1% ownership in the joint venture to a total of 50.0%. If the exchange right is exercised, the Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be cancelled. The Company anticipates the Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be converted to Celtrix common stock, in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Elan, at the time of the proposed merger with Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (see Note 2). The Series A Convertible/Exchangeable Preferred Stock pays a 5% annual in-kind dividend. Although the Company owns 80.1% of the joint venture, the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting,

F-33

because Elan has substantive participating rights that give them the ability to block significant decisions proposed by the Company. In addition, Elan actively participates in directing and carrying out the operating and capital activities of the joint venture's business.

The agreement with Elan also provides, at Celtrix's option, for EIS to purchase from time to time Series B Convertible Preferred Stock up to an amount of $4.8 million, the proceeds from which sale will be used by Celtrix to fund its share of the joint venture's operating expenses. Celtrix and Elan will be reimbursed by the joint venture for research and development and administrative work performed on behalf of the joint venture. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Celtrix common stock at a price of $2.006 per share and pays a 9% annual in-kind dividend. The obligation of Elan to purchase Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will terminate at the time of the merger with Insmed. See Note 2.

Elan received a $10 million license payment from the joint venture for the use of MEDIPAD technology while Celtrix will have an 80% share in any future proceeds related to the further development and commercialization of the osteoporosis product (e.g. upfront payments, milestones or royalties) received by the joint venture, regardless of ownership, until Celtrix is paid $10 million. Thereafter, Celtrix and Elan will share the joint venture's proceeds in accordance with their ownership interests.

In April 1999, in a separate transaction, the Company issued 1,508,751 shares of Celtrix common stock to Elan International Services, Ltd. at a price of $1.657 per share, amounting to $2.4 million (net of expenses).

4. Restructuring Charges

In September 1998, Celtrix announced a restructuring of the Company to focus on the clinical development of SomatoKine, cease manufacturing operations and significantly reduce the cash burn rate. As a result, the Company recognized a $5.2 million restructuring charge in the quarter ended September 30, 1998. As of December 31, 1999, the Company held $349,000 in certain equipment and fixed assets to be sold. There are no restructuring liabilities remaining to be paid as of December 31, 1999.

5. Nasdaq Listing

F-34

In April 1999, the Company participated in an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel regarding its compliance with Nasdaq National Market Standards. The hearing was in response to notification received by the Company from Nasdaq in January 1999 that the Company failed to comply with the minimum net tangible assets requirement. On July 6, 1999, the Nasdaq panel informed the Company that its listing would be moved from the Nasdaq National Market to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective July 8, 1999, subject to its continued compliance with SmallCap listing requirements.

6. Subsequent Events

In January 2000, certain investors holding warrants issued in connection with the $2.0 million November 1998 private placement financing completed a cashless exercise of 4,230,000 shares underlying such warrants which resulted in the issuance of 3,384,000 shares of common stock to such investors on the basis of a $2.75 share price.

In February 2000, an investor in the $14.0 million April 1997 private placement financing exercised 820,344 warrants at an exercise price of $2.6818 per share, which generated $2.2 million in additional cash for the Company.

ARTICLE II

THE MERGER AND EXCHANGE

Section 2.1. The Merger.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time Celtrix will execute and deliver the Certificate of Merger and file it with the Secretary of State in accordance with the DGCL. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into Celtrix in accordance with the provisions of, and with the effects provided in, Subchapter IX of the DGCL (the "Merger"). Celtrix shall be the surviving corporation resulting from the Merger and as a result shall become a wholly- owned subsidiary of Parent and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the separate corporate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease. The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and as part of an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code.

(b) Pursuant to the Merger, each share of Celtrix Common Stock and each share of Celtrix Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of Celtrix Common Stock and Celtrix Preferred Stock held in Celtrix's treasury, which shall be cancelled pursuant to
Section 2.1(d) hereof, (ii) shares of Celtrix Common Stock and Preferred Stock held by Merger Subsidiary, which shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof and (iii) Dissenting Shares) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Merger Subsidiary, Celtrix or the holder thereof, be converted into and become (X) in the case of each share of Celtrix Common Stock one (1) share of Parent Common Stock and (Y) in the case of each share of Celtrix Preferred Stock, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to $1,000, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Celtrix Preferred Stock through the Effective Time, divided by $2.0006 (in each case, subject to adjustment for any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend or other similar distribution with respect to Celtrix Common Stock or any series of Celtrix Preferred Stock, as the case may be) (the "Merger Consideration"). All such shares of Celtrix Common Stock and Celtrix Preferred Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Celtrix Common Stock or Celtrix Preferred Stock shall cease to have any ownership or other rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock, in each case upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.3 and without any interest thereon. Pursuant to the Merger, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and exchanged for one share of Celtrix Common Stock. The separate existence and corporate organization of Merger Subsidiary shall cease upon the Effective Time.

(c) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the conversion of Celtrix Common Stock or Celtrix Preferred Stock in the Merger and the distribution of Parent Common Stock in respect thereof, but in lieu of such fraction, the

A-23

Exchange Agent shall make a cash payment (without interest and subject to the payment of any applicable withholding Taxes) equal to the same fraction of the market value of a full share of Parent Common Stock, computed on the basis of the mean of the high and low sales prices of Parent Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, on the first full day on which the Parent Common Stock is traded on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the Effective Time. Parent and Celtrix agree to use their best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained- for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding-off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting complexities which would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(d) At the Effective Time, each share held in the treasury of Celtrix and each share of Celtrix Common Stock and Celtrix Preferred Stock held by Merger Subsidiary shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Celtrix or Merger Subsidiary be canceled, retired and cease to exist and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Celtrix Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares of Celtrix Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (a "Celtrix Dissenting Holder") shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall, from and after the Effective Time, have only such rights as are afforded to the holders thereof by the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, unless such Celtrix Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Celtrix Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such shares of Celtrix Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Celtrix Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1. Celtrix shall give Insmed (i) prompt notice of any demands received by Celtrix for appraisal of shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Celtrix and (ii) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Celtrix shall not, except with the prior written consent of Insmed, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or offer to settle, or settle any such demands.

Section 2.2. The Exchange.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time Parent shall execute and deliver Articles of Exchange, which shall include the Plan of Exchange, and file it with the SCC in accordance with the VSCA. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan of Exchange and the VSCA, and without any action on the part of Parent, Insmed or the holders of Insmed Capital Stock, at the Effective Time each share of Insmed Common Stock, Insmed Series A Preferred Stock and Insmed Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be exchanged for 3.50 shares of Parent Common Stock (subject to adjustment for any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend or other

A-24

similar distribution with respect to the Insmed Common Stock, Insmed Series A Preferred Stock or Insmed Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be) (the "Exchange") (the shares of Parent Common Stock received pursuant to the Exchange, the "Exchange Consideration"). Parent shall acquire and become the owner and holder of each issued and outstanding share of Insmed Capital Stock so exchanged. The former holders of shares of Insmed Capital Stock so exchanged shall cease to have any ownership or other rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.3 and without any interest thereon. Each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall thereupon constitute an authorized unissued share of Parent Common Stock. The Exchange is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or a tax-free exchange under Section 351 of the Code.

(b) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the exchange of Insmed Common Stock or Insmed Preferred Stock in the Exchange and the distribution of Parent Common Stock in respect thereof, but in lieu of such fraction, the Exchange Agent shall make a cash payment (without interest and subject to the payment of any applicable withholding Taxes) equal to the same fraction of the market value of a full share of Parent Common Stock, computed on the basis of the mean of the high and low sales prices of Parent Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, on the first full day on which the Parent Common Stock is traded on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the Effective Time. Parent and Insmed agree to use their best efforts to cause the Exchange to be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Exchange. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding-off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting complexities which would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Insmed Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Exchange or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares of Insmed Capital Stock in accordance with the VSCA (an "Insmed Dissenting Holder") shall not be exchanged into the Exchange Consideration, but shall, from and after the Effective Time, have only such rights as are afforded to the holders thereof by the provisions of Section 13.1-730 of the VSCA, unless such Insmed Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Insmed Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such shares of Insmed Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Exchange Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Insmed Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 2.2. Insmed shall give Celtrix (i) prompt notice of any demands received by Insmed for appraisal of shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the VSCA and received by Insmed and (ii) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

A-25

Section 2.3. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent, Celtrix and Insmed shall appoint the Exchange Agent to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger and Exchange. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Celtrix Capital Stock and Insmed Capital Stock (the "Certificates") shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such holder's shares were converted in the Merger or Exchange, as the case may be, plus cash payable in lieu of a fractional share. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deliver to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Celtrix Capital Stock and Insmed Capital Stock, shares of Parent Common Stock (together with sufficient cash in immediately available funds in lieu of fractional shares, as provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof) necessary to make the exchanges contemplated by Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof on a timely basis.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Celtrix Capital Stock and Insmed Capital Stock whose shares were converted or exchanged into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 herein, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and any other required documents, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and, if applicable, a check representing the cash consideration to which such holder has the right to receive for a fractional share, as set forth in the Certificate of Merger and the Plan of Exchange, and such Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No holder of a Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution from Parent until the surrender of such holder's Certificate for a certificate or certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Tax) which theretofore became payable, but which were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by the certificates issued upon surrender, which amount shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent from time to time as such dividends or other distributions are declared. If delivery of certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered or if any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such delivery or issuance that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such delivery or issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such delivery or issuance to a person other than the

A-26

registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, each Certificate shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (and cash in lieu of a fractional share), as provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereto, without any interest thereon.

(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Parent, as the surviving corporation in the Merger and Exchange, of the shares of Celtrix Capital Stock or Insmed Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.

(d) Any shares of Parent Common Stock (and any accrued dividends and distributions thereon), and any cash held by the Exchange Agent for payment in lieu of fractional shares, that remain unclaimed by the former shareholders of Celtrix and Insmed six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Parent. Any former shareholders of Celtrix and Insmed who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.3 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claim for the consideration set forth in the Certificate of Merger and Plan of Exchange, as the case may be, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, Celtrix nor Insmed shall be liable to any holder of shares of Celtrix Capital Stock or Insmed Capital Stock for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.4. Stock Options and Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Celtrix Common Stock (a "Celtrix Stock Option" or collectively, "Celtrix Stock Options") as fully identified on Schedule 5.9(i) of the Celtrix Disclosure Letter, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent (all of such plans or agreements pursuant to which any Celtrix Stock Option has been issued or may be issued are referred to collectively as the "Celtrix Plans"). To effect that assumption, each Celtrix Stock Option shall be replaced with an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Celtrix Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Celtrix Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Celtrix Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Celtrix Stock Option divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such replacement option pursuant to this Section 2.4 rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in the case of

any option to which section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under section 422 of the Code ("incentive stock options" or "ISOs"), the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with section 424(a) of the Code rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Parent shall make such

A-27

assumption in such manner that (i) Parent is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies" within the meaning of
Section 424 of the Code or (ii) to the extent that Section 424 of the Code does not apply to such Celtrix Stock Option, Parent would be such a corporation were
Section 424 of the Code applicable to such Celtrix Stock Option.

(b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Insmed Common Stock (an "Insmed Stock Option" or collectively, "Insmed Stock Options") whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent (all of such plans or agreements pursuant to which any Insmed Stock Option has been issued or may be issued are referred to collectively as the "Insmed Plans"). To effect that assumption, each Insmed Stock Option shall be replaced with an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Insmed Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Insmed Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Exchange had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Insmed Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Insmed Stock Option divided by (z) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such replacement option pursuant to this Section 2.4 rounded up to the nearest one tenth of a cent; provided, however, that in the case of any ISOs, the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with section 424(a) of the Code rounded up to the nearest one tenth of a cent. Parent shall make such assumption in such manner that (i) Parent is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies" within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code or
(ii) to the extent that Section 424 of the Code does not apply to such Insmed Stock Option, Parent would be such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to such Insmed Stock Option.

(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the holders of Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to the respective Celtrix Plans and Insmed Plans and this Section 2.4, and shall amend or replace the agreements evidencing the grants of such Insmed Options and Celtrix Options as required by Section 2.4(a) and Section 2.4(b) after giving effect to the Merger and Exchange. Parent shall comply with the terms of the Celtrix Plans and Insmed Plans as in effect prior to the Effective Time and ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, such Plans, that Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options which qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options of Parent after the Effective Time.

(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options assumed in accordance with this Section 2.4. Such action shall include, without limitation (i) adoption of the Insmed, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "New Stock Plan") on or before the Effective Time; and (ii) registration of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be issuable under the New Stock Plan (including those that will be delivered on exercise of Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options assumed in accordance with this Section 2.4)

A-28

pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 filed within 10 business days of the Effective Time. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the sole shareholder of the Parent shall approve the New Stock Plan. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as options or other awards granted thereunder remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals who, subsequent to the Merger and Exchange, will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Parent shall administer the New Stock Plan in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as it may be amended from time to time.

(e) At the Effective Time, each of the (i) warrants to purchase shares of Celtrix Common Stock (each a "Celtrix Warrant"), and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Insmed Common Stock (each a "Insmed Warrant") which then remains outstanding shall be replaced with a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Celtrix Warrant or Insmed Warrant, as the case may be, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Celtrix Warrant or Insmed Warrant would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger and Exchange had such holder exercised such warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Celtrix Common Stock or shares of Insmed Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Celtrix Warrant or Insmed Warrant, as the case may be, divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such replacement warrant rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each holder of a Celtrix Warrant or Insmed Warrant appropriate notices setting forth such holder's rights pursuant to the warrants to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock, and shall amend or replace the agreements evidencing such Celtrix Warrants or Insmed Warrants as required by this Section 2.4(e) after giving effect to the Merger and Exchange.

Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Celtrix Warrants or Insmed Warrants replaced with warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.4(e).

(f) In lieu of issuing any options or warrants to purchase a fractional share of Parent Common Stock, Parent will deliver to holders of Insmed Stock Options or Insmed Warrants cash, within 30 days of Closing, payable by check, equal to the difference between (i) the fractional share multiplied by the mean of the high and low sales price of Parent Common Stock on the first full day of trading on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the Closing, and (ii) the exercise price per fractional share of each Insmed Stock Option or Insmed Warrant divided by 3.5.

(g) In lieu of issuing any options or warrants to purchase a fractional share of Parent Common Stock, Parent will deliver to holders of Celtrix Stock Options or Celtrix Warrants, cash within 30 days of Closing, payable by check, equal to the difference between (i) the fractional

A-29

share multiplied by the mean of the high and low sales price of Parent Common Stock on the first full day of trading on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the Closing, and (ii) the exercise price per fractional share of each Celtrix Stock Option or Celtrix Warrant.

(h) Each warrant or option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and outstanding after the Effective Time and shall continue to have such rights and preferences as existed prior to the Effective Time. All shares of Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of such warrants and options shall continue to be reserved for issuance after the Effective Time.

A-35

retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, independent contractors or other beneficiaries are eligible to participate (collectively, the "Celtrix Benefit Plans") and (i) any related trust agreement; (ii) any amendments to such plans or trust; (iii) the most recent Form 5500 and all schedules thereto; (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter; (iv) the most recent summary plan descriptions; and (v) the most recent actuarial report for any Celtrix Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or funded welfare benefit plan. Any of the Celtrix Benefit Plans which is an "employee pension benefit plan," as that term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, is referred to herein as an "Celtrix ERISA Plan."

(b) Each Celtrix Benefit Plan has been administered in material compliance with its terms and with the applicable provisions (including, without limitation, any funding requirements or limitations) of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Laws. Each Celtrix Benefit Plan is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) No Celtrix ERISA Plan which is a defined benefit pension plan has any "unfunded current liability," as that term is defined in Section 302(d)(8)(A) of ERISA, and the present fair market value of the assets of any such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit liabilities," as that term is defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would apply if the plan terminated in accordance with all applicable legal requirements.

(d) Each Celtrix ERISA Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code ("Celtrix Qualified Plan") has either obtained a favorable determination, notification, advisory and/or opinion letter, as applicable, as to its qualified status from the IRS or still has a remaining period of time under applicable Treasury Regulations or IRS pronouncements in which to apply for such letter and to make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination. To the Knowledge of Celtrix, there are no facts or circumstances that would be reasonably likely to jeopardize or adversely affect the qualification under Code Section 401(a) of any Celtrix Qualified Plan or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the qualified status of any Celtrix Qualified Plan. Each Celtrix Qualified Plan incorporates or has been amended to incorporate all provisions required to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation to the extent such amendment or incorporation is required as of the Closing Date.

(e) As of the Effective Time, full payment of all contributions will be made or accrued with respect to each Celtrix Benefit Plan (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that are either required under the terms thereof or under ERISA or the Code. Neither Celtrix nor any organization to which Celtrix is a successor or parent corporation, within the meaning of Section 4069(b) of ERISA, has engaged in any transaction, within the meaning of Section 4069 of ERISA. No Celtrix ERISA Plan has incurred a "reportable event" as such term is defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, other than a "reportable event" which was not required to be reported.

(f) Celtrix has filed all reports, returns and other documentation and paid all premiums and taxes associated therewith that are required to have been filed with respect to each Celtrix Benefit Plan with the IRS, the Department of Labor, or any other governmental agency (federal, state or local) and such have been filed on a timely basis. No lawsuits, complaints,

A-36

investigations or proceedings to or by any Person or governmental authority have been filed or, to the Knowledge of Celtrix, are proposed or threatened, with respect to any Celtrix Benefit Plan, except where such lawsuits, complaints, investigations or proceedings would not have, alone or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Neither Celtrix nor any Celtrix ERISA Affiliate is or has ever been a party to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) and neither Celtrix nor any Celtrix ERISA Affiliate has received a notice of, or incurred, any withdrawal liability with respect to a "multiemployer plan" that has not been satisfied.

(h) Celtrix has not incurred any material liability for "welfare benefits" (as defined in Code Section 419) that was not fully reflected in the Celtrix Form 10-K. Except as required under COBRA (or any similar provisions of state law) or the terms of any Celtrix ERISA Plan, Celtrix is not obligated to provide or to pay any benefits to former employees, or to their dependents or beneficiaries, solely as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

(i) Schedule 5.9(i) sets forth a true and complete list, as of December 31, 1999, of each person who holds any Celtrix Stock Options, together with the number of shares of Celtrix Common Stock which are subject to such option, the date of grant of such option, the extent to which such option is vested (or will become vested as a result of the Merger), the option price of such option (to the extent determined as of the date hereof), whether such option is a nonqualified stock option or is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code, and the expiration date of such option. Schedule 5.9(i) of the Celtrix Disclosure Letter also sets forth the total number of such incentive stock options and such nonqualified options and any non-statutory options issued to consultants or others. Celtrix has furnished Insmed with complete copies of the plans pursuant to which the Celtrix Stock Options were issued. Other than the automatic vesting of Celtrix Stock Options that may occur without any action on the part of Celtrix or its officers or directors, Celtrix has not taken any action that would result in any Celtrix Stock Options that are unvested becoming vested in connection with or as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(j) Celtrix has made available to Insmed (i) a description of the terms of employment and compensation arrangements of all officers and other employees of Celtrix and a copy of each such agreement currently in effect; (ii) copies of all agreements with consultants who are individuals obligating Celtrix to make annual cash payments in an amount exceeding $25,000; (iii) copies (or descriptions) of all severance agreements, programs and policies of Celtrix with or relating to its employees, except programs and policies required to be maintained by Law; and (iv) copies of all plans, programs, agreements and other arrangements of Celtrix with or relating to its employees which contain change in control provisions all of which are set forth on Schedule 5.9(j) of the Celtrix Disclosure Letter.

(b) Each Insmed Benefit Plan has been administered in material compliance with its terms and with the applicable provisions (including, without limitation, any funding requirements or limitations) of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Laws. Each Insmed Benefit Plan is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) No Insmed ERISA Plan which is a defined benefit pension plan has any "unfunded current liability," as that term is defined in Section 302(d)(8)(A) of ERISA, and the present fair market value of the assets of any such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit liabilities," as that term is defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would apply if the plan terminated in accordance with all applicable legal requirements.

(d) Each Insmed ERISA Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code ("Insmed Qualified Plan") has either obtained a favorable determination notification, advisory and/or opinion letter, as applicable, as to its qualified status from the IRS or still has a remaining period of time under applicable Treasury Regulations or IRS pronouncements in which to apply for such letter and to make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination. To the Knowledge of Insmed, there are no facts or circumstances that would be reasonably likely to jeopardize or adversely affect the qualification under Code
Section 401(a) of any Insmed Qualified Plan or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the qualified status of any Insmed Qualified Plan.

(f) Insmed has filed all reports, returns and other documentation and paid all premiums and taxes associated therewith that are required to have been filed with respect to each Insmed Benefit Plan with the IRS, the Department of Labor, or any other governmental agency (federal, state or local) and such have been filed on a timely basis. No lawsuits, complaints, investigations or proceedings to or by any Person or governmental authority have been filed or,

A-50

to the Knowledge of Insmed, are proposed or threatened, with respect to any Insmed Benefit Plan, except where such lawsuits, complaints, investigations or proceedings would not have, alone or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Neither Insmed nor any Insmed ERISA Affiliate is or has ever been a party to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) and neither Insmed nor any Insmed ERISA Affiliate has received a notice of, or incurred, any withdrawal liability with respect to a "multiemployer plan" that has not been satisfied.

(each an "Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), claims, damages or liabilities or, subject to the proviso of the next succeeding sentence, amounts paid in settlement, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) that are in whole or in part

In the event of any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (whether or not arising before the Effective Time), (i) Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of

The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm with respect to each related matter except to the extent there is, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties.

Section 7.18. Confidentiality.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time and after any termination of this Agreement each party hereto will hold, and will use its best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors, affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and representatives (collectively, the "Representatives"), to hold, in confidence all confidential documents and information concerning the other parties hereto and the Subsidiaries furnished to such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, all analyses, compilations, studies or records prepared by the party receiving the information or by such party's Representatives, that contain or otherwise reflect or are generated from such information (collectively, the "Confidential Material"). The party furnishing any Confidential Material is herein referred to as the "Delivering Company" and the party receiving any Confidential Material is herein referred to as the "Receiving Company."

(b) The Receiving Company agrees that the Confidential Material will not be used other than for the purpose of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and that such information will be kept confidential by the Receiving Company and its Representatives; provided, however, that (i) any of such information may be disclosed to the Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose described above (it being understood that (a) each such Representative shall be informed by the Receiving Company of the confidential nature of such information, shall be directed by the Receiving Company to treat such information confidentially and not to use it other than for the purpose described above and shall agree to be bound by the terms of this
Section 7.18 and (b) in any event, the Receiving Company shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives), and (ii) any other disclosure of such information may be made if the Delivering Company has, in advance,

A-70

consented to such disclosure in writing. The Receiving Company will make all reasonable, necessary and appropriate efforts to safeguard the Confidential Material from disclosure to anyone other than as permitted hereby.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Receiving Company or any of its Representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in legal proceedings, interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Material, the Receiving Company will promptly notify the Delivering Company of such request or requirement so that the Delivering Company may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive the Receiving Company's compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Company or any of its Representatives is nonetheless, in the reasonable written opinion of the Receiving Company's counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Material to any tribunal, the Receiving Company or such Representative, after notice to the Delivering Company, may disclose such information to such tribunal. The Receiving Party shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Material so disclosed. The Receiving Company or such Representative shall not be liable for the disclosure of Confidential Material hereunder to a tribunal compelling such disclosure unless such disclosure to such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by the Receiving Company or any of its Representatives not permitted by this Agreement.

(d) This Section 7.18 shall be inoperative as to particular portions of the Confidential Material if such information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Company or its Representatives, (ii) was available to the Receiving Company on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Company by the Delivering Company or the Delivering Company's Representatives as demonstrated by documents of the Receiving Company, or (iii) becomes available to the Receiving Company on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Delivering Company or the Delivering Company's Representatives, provided that such source is not known by the Receiving Company, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Delivering Company or the Delivering Company's Representatives and is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Receiving Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. The fact that information included in the Confidential Material is or becomes otherwise available to the Receiving Company or its Representatives under clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not relieve the Receiving Company or its Representatives of the prohibitions of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 7.18 with respect to the balance of the Confidential Material.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated, each party hereto will, and will use its best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to destroy or deliver to the party from whom such Confidential Material was obtained, upon request, all documents and other materials, and all copies thereof, obtained by such party or on its behalf from any such other parties in connection with this Agreement that are subject to such confidence.

A-71

Section 7.19. Antitrust Matters.

(a) To the extent required by the HSR Act, the parties hereto promptly will complete all documents required to be filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice in order to comply with the HSR Act and, together with the Persons who are required to join in such filings, will file the same with the appropriate Governmental Authorities. The parties hereto promptly will furnish all materials thereafter required by any of the Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over such filings and will take all reasonable actions and file and use all reasonable efforts to have declared effective or approved all documents and notifications with any such Governmental Authorities, as may be required under the HSR Act for the consummation of the Merger and Exchange.

(b) The parties hereto will use their best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory laws, rules or regulations of any domestic or foreign Governmental Entity ("Antitrust Laws"). If any suit is threatened or instituted challenging the Merger and Exchange as violating any Antitrust Law, the parties hereto will take such action as may be required (i) by the applicable Governmental Entity in order to resolve such objections as such Governmental Entity may have to such transactions under such Antitrust Law or (ii) by any domestic or foreign court or similar tribunal, in any suit brought by a private party or governmental authority challenging the Merger and Exchange as violating any Antitrust Law, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that has the effect of preventing the consummation of the Merger and Exchange. The entry by a court, in any suit brought by a private party or Governmental Entity challenging the Merger and Exchange as violating any Antitrust Law, of an order or decree permitting the Merger and Exchange but requiring that any of the businesses or assets of any party hereto be divested or held separate by Parent, or that would otherwise limit Parent's freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, both Insmed and Celtrix or any portion thereof, will not be deemed a failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 8.1(d) herein below.

(c) Each party promptly will inform the others of any material communication from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, the FCC or any other domestic or foreign Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party or any Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such government or authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such party will endeavor in good faith to make, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other parties, an appropriate response to such request. Each party hereto promptly will advise the other parties hereto in respect of any understandings, undertakings or agreements which the advising party proposes to make or enter into with the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other domestic or foreign Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ANNEX B

FAIRNESS OPINION OF CELTRIX'S INVESTMENT BANKER

February 9, 2000

Special Committee of the Board of Directors Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
3055 Patrick Henry Drive
Santa Clara, California 95054-1815

Members of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors:

You asked for our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial, point of view, to the holders of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Celtrix Common Stock") of Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("Celtrix" or the "Company") of certain transactions in which Celtrix is considering participating, as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of November 30, 1999 (the "Original Agreement"). That opinion was delivered to the Board on November 29, 1999. You have informed us that the Original Agreement is to be amended and restated on the date hereof, and you have provided us with a copy of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of February 9, 2000 (the "Restated Agreement"), which we have read. You have now requested our opinion as to the fairness as of November 29, 1999, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Celtrix Common Stock of the transactions provided for in the Restated Agreement.

Background of Transactions

Celtrix Corporation entered into the Original Agreement with Insmed, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Insmed"), and Celtrix Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation pursuant to which the businesses and operations of Celtrix and Insmed would be combined into a newly formed holding company, Insmed, Inc. (the "Reorganization"). That combination (the "Combination") is to be accomplished through the exchange of all of the outstanding shares of Insmed Capital Stock and all of the outstanding shares of Celtrix Capital Stock for Insmed, Inc. Common Stock at conversion ratios specified in the Agreement. The Restated Agreement provides that each holder of Celtrix Common Stock will receive one (1) share of Insmed, Inc. common stock for each outstanding share of Celtrix Common Stock and each shareholder of Insmed Pharmaceuticals will receive 3.5 shares of Insmed, Inc. Common Stock for each outstanding share of Insmed Pharmaceuticals Common Stock. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, the Reorganization is to be accounted for under purchase accounting as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Investigation and Analysis

In conducting our investigation and analysis and in arriving at the opinion set forth below, we reviewed such information and took into account such financial and economic factors, as we deemed relevant under the circumstances. In that connection, we, among other things: (i) reviewed available information about Insmed provided by Insmed, including but not limited to their Private Placement Memorandum dated July 1, 1999; (ii) conducted interviews with various members of Insmed's senior management, (iii) reviewed publicly available information about Celtrix, including but not limited to Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, proxy and other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) analyzed information regarding the market price of Celtrix over various periods; (v) analyzed information on publicly-traded comparable companies; and (vi) analyzed information about the pricing of recent Initial Public Offerings for Biotechnology companies in similar states of development to Insmed.

We reviewed with senior management of Celtrix the state of Celtrix's business and operations prepared and furnished to us by the Company. We held discussions with certain members of Celtrix's and Insmed's senior management concerning Celtrix's and Insmed's respective historical and current business condition and operating results. We considered such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria that we deemed relevant for the preparation of this opinion. We did not consider any benefits that may inure to any stockholder of the Company as a result of the Merger or any related transactions other than in such party's capacity as a stockholder of the Company.

In arriving at our opinion, we assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to us by or on behalf of Celtrix, and all of the publicly available financial and other information referred to above, and did not attempt independently to verify any such information. We also assumed, with your consent, that the Reorganization would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Restated Agreement dated as of February 9, 2000, without any additional amendment thereto and without waiver by Celtrix or Insmed of any of the conditions to their respective obligations thereunder. We relied upon assurances of senior management of Celtrix and Insmed that such management was unaware of any fact that would make their respective information provided to us incomplete or misleading.

Our opinion necessarily was based upon economic, monetary and market conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date hereof, and did not predict or take into account any changes that could have occurred, or information that could have become available, after the date of our opinion, including without limitation changes in the terms of the Agreement. It should be understood that subsequent developments may have affected this

opinion and we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Except as noted above, this opinion did not address the relative merits of the Reorganization and any other potential transactions or business strategies considered by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Celtrix (the "Special Committee").

Pacific Growth Equities, Inc. ("PGE") received a fee for rendering this written opinion pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter. PGE and/or its employees may from time to time trade the securities of the Company for its or their own account/s or the accounts of PGE's customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

Opinion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of November 29, 1999, the Reorganization as set forth in the Restated Agreement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Celtrix Common Stock.

We hereby consent to (i) the inclusion of this opinion letter as Appendix B to the Joint Proxy Statement / Prospectus, forming part of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which Joint Proxy Statement / Prospectus is also to be delivered to the respective stockholders of Celtrix and Insmed; and (ii) references made to our firm and such opinion in such Joint Proxy Statement / Prospectus, including but not limited to, the reference under the captions entitled "SUMMARY - Opinion of Celtrix's Financial Advisors", "THE REORGANIZATIONS - Background and Negotiations of the Reorganizations", "THE REORGANIZATIONS - Celtrix Reasons for the Reorganizations", "THE REORGANIZATIONS - Recommendations of the Board of Directors", "THE REORGANIZATIONS - Opinion of Celtrix's Financial Advisors."

In giving this consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and we do not admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 within the meaning of the term "expert" as used in the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,

Annex C

SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

262 APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

(a.) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to (S)228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b.) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to (S)251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to (S)251(g) of this title), (S)252, (S)254, (S)257, (S)258, (S)263 or (S)264 of this title:

(1.) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of (S)251 of this title.

(2.) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to (S)(S)251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

C-1

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

(3.) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under (S)253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c.) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d.) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1.) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of his shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of his shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of his shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder

C-2

electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2.) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to (S)228 or (S)253 of this title, each constituent corporation, either before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or within ten days thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section; provided that, if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, such notice shall be given by the surviving or resulting corporation to all such holders of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

C-3

(e.) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw his demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after his written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection
(d) hereof, whichever is later.

(f.) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g.) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h.) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that he is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i.) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j.) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

C-5

(k.) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded his appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of his demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just.

(l.) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

4. A copy of this article.

(S) 13.1-738. After-acquired shares.

D-5

first announcement to shareholders generally, whichever is earlier, of the terms of the proposed corporate action, as set forth in the dissenters' notice.

B. To the extent the corporation elects to withhold payment under subsection A of this section, after taking the proposed corporate action, it shall estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall offer to pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of his demand.

(S) 13.1-739. Procedure if shareholder dissatisfied with payment or offer.

A. A dissenter may notify the corporation in writing of his own estimate of the fair value of his shares and amount of interest due, and demand payment of his estimate (less any payment under (S) 13.1-737), or reject the corporation's offer under (S) 13.1-738 and demand payment of the fair value of his shares and interest due, if the dissenter believes that the amount paid under (S) 13.1-737 or offered under (S) 13.1-738 is less than the fair value of his shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated.

B. A dissenter waives his right to demand payment under this section unless he notifies the corporation of his demand in writing under subsection A of this section within thirty days after the corporation made or offered payment for his shares.

(S) 13.1-740. Court action.

A. If a demand for payment under (S) 13.1-739 remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within sixty days after receiving the payment demand and petition the circuit court in the city or county described in subsection B of this section to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.

B. The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the city or county where its principal office is located, or, if none in this Commonwealth, where its registered office is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in this Commonwealth, it shall commence the proceeding in the city or county in this Commonwealth where the registered office of the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign corporation was located.

C. The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this Commonwealth, whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

D. The corporation may join as a party to the proceeding any shareholder who claims to be a dissenter but who has not, in the opinion of the corporation, complied with the provisions of this

D-6

article. If the court determines that such shareholder has not complied with the provisions of this article, he shall be dismissed as a party.

E. The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection B of this section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

F. Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment (i) for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of his shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation or (ii) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of his after-acquired shares for which the

corporation elected to withhold payment under (S) 13.1-738.

(S) 13.1-741. Court costs and counsel fees.

A. The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under (S) 13.1-740 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters did not act in good faith in demanding payment under (S) 13.1-739.

B. The court may also assess the reasonable fees and expenses of experts, excluding those of counsel, for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

1. Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of (S)(S) 13.1-732 through 13.1-739; or

2. Against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed did not act in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.

C. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, the court may award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefited.

D. In a proceeding commenced under subsection A of (S) 13.1-737 the court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters who are parties to the proceeding, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds that such parties did not act in good faith in instituting the proceeding.

10. Termination.

This Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) the effective time of the Exchange or (b) the date on which the Reorganization Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

THIS STOCKHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of December 15, 1999 (this "Agreement"), by and among the persons or entities designated as Stockholders on the signature page hereto (the "Stockholders" and each a "Stockholder"), Insmed, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Parent"), and Celtrix Mergersub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Subsidiary"), recites and provides as follows.

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Insmed") and the Company, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of November 30, 1999 (as amended from time to time, the "Reorganization Agreement"), which provides, among other things, that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Merger Subsidiary shall merge with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation and shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent, Insmed and Merger Subsidiary to enter into the Reorganization Agreement, Parent, Insmed and Merger Subsidiary have requested that the Stockholders agree, and in order to induce Parent, Insmed and Merger Subsidiary to enter into the Reorganization Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

G-2

1. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.

Each Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent, Insmed and Merger Subsidiary, severally as to itself and with respect to its Shares, as follows:

(a) Such Stockholder's Shares constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, if any, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such Stockholder as of the date hereof, except as otherwise noted on Annex A hereto. Such Stockholder's Shares are owned of record and beneficially by such Stockholder with good and valid title thereto, free and clear of any and all mortgages, liens, encumbrances, charges, claims, restrictions, pledges, security interests, or impositions (collectively, "Liens").

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder will not, constitute a violation of, conflict with, result in a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default) under, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of such Stockholder's Shares under
(i) any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder is bound, (ii) any judgment, writ, decree, order or ruling applicable to such Stockholder, or (iii) the organizational documents of such Stockholder, if applicable.

(c) Such Stockholder has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized and no other actions on the part of such Stockholder are required in order to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Subsidiary, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable law.

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder will (i) violate any order, writ, injunction or judgment applicable to such Stockholder or (ii) violate any law, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or require any consent, authorization or approval of, filing with or notice to, any court, administrative agency or other governmental body or authority, other than any required notices or filings pursuant to the federal securities laws.

2. Representations and Warranties of Parent.

Parent represents and warrants to the Stockholders as follows:

(a) Parent is (i) duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and

G-3

delivered by Parent and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, organization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent does not, and the performance by Parent of its obligations hereunder will not, constitute a violation of, conflict with, or result in a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default) under, its charter or bylaws or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Parent is a party or by which Parent is bound or any judgment, writ, decree, order or ruling applicable to Parent.

(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by Parent of its obligations hereunder will violate any order, writ, injunction, judgment, law, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Parent or require any consent, authorization or approval of, filing with, or notice to, any court, administrative agency or other governmental body or authority, other than any required notices or filings pursuant to the federal securities laws.

3. Representations and Warranties of Merger Subsidiary.

Merger Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Stockholders as follows:

(a) Merger Subsidiary is (i) duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Merger Subsidiary and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Merger Subsidiary, enforceable against Merger Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, organization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Merger Subsidiary does not, and the performance by Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder will not, constitute a violation of, conflict with, or result in a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default) under, its charter or bylaws or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Merger Subsidiary is a party or by which Merger Subsidiary is bound or any judgment, writ, decree, order or ruling applicable to Merger Subsidiary.

(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder will violate any order, writ, injunction, judgment, law, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Merger Subsidiary or require any consent, authorization or approval of, filing with, or notice to, any court, administrative agency or other

G-4

governmental body or authority, other than any required notices or filings pursuant to the federal securities laws.

4. Transfer of the Shares.

During the term of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, no Stockholder shall (a) offer to sell, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer any interest in or encumber with any Lien any of such Stockholder's Shares, except for transfer or sale to any affiliate of such Stockholder who agrees to be bound by this Agreement, (b) deposit such Stockholder's Shares into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to such Shares, or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment or other disposition of or transfer of any interest in or the voting of any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company.

5. No Solicitation.

Each Stockholder agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussion or negotiations, if any, with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal (as defined below). In addition, each Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit or encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any offer of proposal which constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to any Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal, or (iii) in the event of an unsolicited written Takeover Proposal for the Company, engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any information or data to, any person (other than Parent, Insmed and Merger Subsidiary and any of their affiliates or representatives and except for information which has been previously publicly disseminated by the Company) relating to any Takeover Proposal. As used in this Agreement, "Takeover Proposal" shall mean any tender or exchange offer involving the Company, any proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company, any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial equity interest in, or a substantial portion of the business or assets of, the Company, or any proposal or offer with respect to any other transaction similar to any of the foregoing with respect to the Company, other than pursuant to the Merger.

6. Waiver of Appraisal Rights.

Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that such Stockholder may have.

7. Voting of Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.

(a) During the term of this Agreement, each Stockholder in its capacity as such hereby agrees to vote each of its Shares at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Company (1) in favor of the Merger, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Reorganization Agreement and the approval and adoption of the terms thereof and hereof; and (2) except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by Parent, against the

G-5

following actions (other than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) a sale, lease or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or a reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries; or (iii) (A) any change in a majority of the persons who constitute the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof; (B) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as amended to date; (C) any other material change in the Company's corporate structure or business; or (D) any Takeover Proposal or any action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or adversely affect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Reorganization Agreement.

(b) Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Geoffrey Allan, Ph.D. and Michael D. Baer, and each of them as its sole and exclusive and true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to vote all Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock that the holder is entitled to vote as indicated in Section 7(a) above, to the same extent and with the same effect as the Stockholder might or could do under any applicable laws or regulations governing the rights and powers of stockholders of a Delaware corporation. This proxy shall become effective as of the date hereof and shall expire upon termination of this Agreement. This proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and binding upon any and all transferees of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock so long as it remains in effect pursuant to the terms hereof. This proxy/power of attorney shall not terminate on disability of the principal.

8. Enforcement of the Agreement.

Each Stockholder acknowledges that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Subsidiary will be entitled (i) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and (ii) to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity.

9. Adjustments.

The number and type of securities subject to this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted in the event of any stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges of shares or the like or any other action that would have the effect of changing any Stockholder's ownership of the Company's capital stock or other securities.

G-6

(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefits thereof. No such waiver, amendment or supplement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party or parties sought to be bound thereby. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement or one or more sections hereof shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

(c) This Agreement contains the entire agreement among Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Stockholders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements among Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Stockholders with respect to such matters.

ANNEX H

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

of

INSMED, INC.

ARTICLE I

The name of the Corporation shall be Insmed, Inc.

ARTICLE II

The purpose for which the Corporation is formed is to transact any or all lawful business, not required to be specifically stated in these Articles of Incorporation, for which corporations may be incorporated under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as amended from time to time, and any legislation succeeding thereto (the "VSCA").

ARTICLE III

The aggregate number of shares that the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall be 200,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (hereinafter called "Preferred Stock"), and 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (hereinafter called "Common Stock"). The following is a description of each of such classes of stock, and a statement of the preferences, limitations, voting rights and relative rights in respect of the shares of each such class:

1. Authority to Fix Rights of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors shall have authority, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time to divide and establish any or all of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock not then allocated to any series of Preferred Stock into one or more series, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to fix and determine the designation of each such series, the number of shares that shall constitute such series and the following relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established:

(a) The annual or other periodic dividend rate payable on shares of such series, the time of payment thereof, whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative, and the date or dates from which any cumulative dividends shall commence to accrue;

H-1

(b) the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be redeemed;

(c) the amounts payable upon shares of such series in the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation;

(d) the sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares of such series;

(e) the extent of the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series;

(f) the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be converted into shares of stock of the Corporation of any other class or classes or into shares of any other series of the same or any other class or classes;

(g) whether, and if so the extent to which, shares of such series may participate with the Common Stock in any dividends in excess of the preferential dividend fixed for shares of such series or in any distribution of the assets of the Corporation, upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up thereof, in excess of the preferential amount fixed for shares of such series; and

(h) any other preferences and relative, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences or rights, of shares of such series not fixed and determined by law or in this Article III.

2. Distinctive Designations of Series. Each series of Preferred Stock shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series. Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be considered to constitute different voting groups of shares for the purpose of voting by voting groups except as required by the VSCA or as otherwise specified by the Board of Directors with respect to any series at the time of the creation thereof.

3. Restrictions on Certain Distributions. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare and pay or set apart for payment any dividends (other than dividends payable in Common Stock or other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends) or make any other distribution on such junior stock if, at the time of making such declaration, payment or distribution, the Corporation shall be in default

H-2

with respect to any dividend payable on, or any obligation to redeem, any shares of Preferred Stock.

4. Redeemed or Reacquired Shares. Shares of any series of Preferred Stock that have been redeemed or otherwise reacquired by the Corporation
(whether through the operation of a sinking fund, upon conversion or otherwise)
shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be redesignated and reissued as a part of such series (unless prohibited by the articles of amendment creating such series) or of any other series of Preferred Stock. Shares of Common Stock that have been reacquired by the Corporation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock and may be reissued.

5. Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of the VSCA or of the Bylaws of the Corporation as from time to time in effect with respect to the closing of the transfer books or the fixing of a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote, and except as otherwise provided by the VSCA or in resolutions of the Board of Directors establishing any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article III, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall exclusively possess voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes, with each holder of record of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation being entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.

6. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of stock of any class of the Corporation shall, as such holder, have any right to subscribe for or purchase (a) any shares of stock of any class of the Corporation, or any warrants, options or other instruments that shall confer upon the holder thereof the right to subscribe for or purchase or receive from the Corporation any shares of stock of any class, whether or not such shares of stock, warrants, options or other instruments are issued for cash or services or property or by way of dividend or otherwise, or (b) any other security of the Corporation that shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class or classes, or to which shall be attached or appurtenant any warrant, option or other instrument that shall confer upon the holder of such security the right to subscribe for or purchase or receive from the Corporation any shares of its stock of any class or classes, whether or not such securities are issued for cash or services or property or by way of dividend or otherwise, other than such right, if any, as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may from time to time determine. If the Board of Directors shall offer to the holders of shares of stock of any class of the Corporation, or any of them, any such shares of stock, options, warrants, instruments or other securities of the Corporation, such offer shall not, in any way, constitute a waiver or release of the right of the Board of Directors subsequently to dispose of other securities of the Corporation without offering the same to said holders.

7. Control Share Acquisition Statute. The provisions of Article 14.1 of the VSCA shall not apply to acquisitions of shares of any class of capital stock of the Corporation.

H-3

ARTICLE IV

1. The number of directors shall be as specified in the By-laws of the Corporation but such number may be increased or decreased from time to time in such manner as may be prescribed in the By-laws, provided that in no event shall the number of directors exceed twelve. In the absence of a By-law specifying the number of directors, the number shall be seven. Commencing with the 2000 annual meeting of shareholders (or by unanimous written consent in lieu thereof), the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible. The initial term of each class of directors shall expire at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in the following years: Class I - 2001; Class II -2002; and Class III - 2003. At each annual meeting of shareholders after the 2000 annual meeting of shareholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be identified as being of the same class of directors they succeed and shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders. When the number of directors is changed, any newly-created directorships or any decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes by the Board of Directors as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as possible; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten or terminate the term of any incumbent director.

2. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock then outstanding, directors may be removed only with cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors ("Voting Stock"), voting together as a single voting group.

3. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock then outstanding and to any limitations set forth in the VSCA, newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled solely (i) by the Board of Directors or (ii) at an annual meeting of shareholders by the shareholders entitled to vote on the election of directors. If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors remaining in office.

4. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular voting group required by the VSCA, the Articles of Incorporation or the terms of any Preferred Stock outstanding, the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single voting group shall be required to alter, amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with any provision of this Article IV.

H-4

ARTICLE V

Except as expressly otherwise required in the Articles of Incorporation, an amendment or restatement of the Articles of Incorporation requiring shareholder approval shall be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by each voting group that is entitled to vote on the matter, unless in submitting any such amendment or restatement to the shareholders the Board of Directors shall require a greater vote.

ARTICLE VI

1. Every person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or who, at the request of the Corporation, serves or has served in any such capacity with another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the Corporation against any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action or proceeding (whether brought in the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation, entity, plan or otherwise), in which he may become involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or such other corporation, entity or plan while serving at the request of the Corporation, whether or not he continues to be such at the time such liability or expense is incurred, unless such person engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.

As used in this Article VI: (a) the terms "liability" and "expense" shall include, but shall not be limited to, counsel fees and disbursements and amounts of judgments, fines or penalties against, and amounts paid in settlement by, a director, officer or employee; (b) the terms "director," "officer" and employee," unless the context otherwise requires, include the estate or personal representative of any such person; (c) a person is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan as a director, officer or employee of the plan at the Corporation's request if his duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or, in connection with the plan, to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan; (d) the term "occurrence" means any act or failure to act, actual or alleged, giving rise to a claim, action or proceeding; and (e) service as a trustee or as a member of a management or similar committee of a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company shall be considered service as a director, officer or employee of the trust, partnership, joint venture or limited liability company.

The termination of any claim, action or proceeding, civil or criminal, by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that a director, officer or employee did not meet the standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph 1. The burden of proof shall be on the Corporation to establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the relevant standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph 1 have not been met.

H-5

2. Any indemnification under paragraph 1 of this Article VI shall be made unless (a) the Board, acting by a majority vote of those directors who were directors at the time of the occurrence giving rise to the claim, action or proceeding involved and who are not at the time parties to such claim, action or proceeding (provided there are at least five such directors), finds that the director, officer or employee has not met the relevant standards of conduct set forth in such paragraph 1, or (b) if there are not at least five such directors, the Corporation's principal Virginia legal counsel, as last designated by the Board as such prior to the time of the occurrence giving rise to the claim, action or proceeding involved, or in the event for any reason such Virginia counsel is unwilling to so serve, then Virginia legal counsel mutually acceptable to the Corporation and the person seeking indemnification, deliver to the Corporation their written advice that, in their opinion, such standards have not been met.

3. Expenses incurred with respect to any claim, action or proceeding of the character described in paragraph 1 shall, except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph 3, be advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Article VI. No security shall be required for such undertaking and such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the recipient's final ability to make repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may refrain from, or suspend, payment of expenses in advance if at any time before delivery of the final finding described in paragraph 2, the Board or Virginia legal counsel, as the case may be, acting in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 2, find by a preponderance of the evidence then available that the officer, director or employee has not met the relevant standards of conduct set forth in paragraph 1.

4. No amendment or repeal of this Article VI shall adversely affect or deny to any director, officer or employee the rights of indemnification provided in this Article VI with respect to any liability or expense arising out of a claim, action or proceeding based in whole or substantial part on an occurrence the inception of which takes place before or while this Article VI, as set forth in these Articles of Incorporation, is in effect. The provisions of this paragraph 4 shall apply to any such claim, action or proceeding whenever commenced, including any such claim, action or proceeding commenced after any amendment or repeal to this Article VI.

5. The rights of indemnification provided in this Article VI shall be in addition to any rights to which any such director, officer or employee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law.

6. In any proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Corporation, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages with respect to any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct, whether prior or subsequent to the effective date of

H-6

this Article VI, except for liability resulting from such person's having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.

ARTICLE VII

In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by the VSCA, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors under the powers hereby conferred may be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders having voting power with respect thereto, provided further that, in the case of any such action by shareholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single voting group, shall be required in order for the shareholders to alter, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt any additional Bylaw. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular voting group required by the VSCA, the Articles of Incorporation or the terms of any Preferred Stock outstanding, the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single voting group, shall be required to alter, amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Article VII.

ARTICLE VIII

The initial registered office shall be located at 951 E. Byrd Street, Riverfront Plaza, East Tower, in the City of Richmond, Virginia, and the initial registered agent shall be T. Justin Moore, III, who is a resident of Virginia and a member of the Virginia State Bar, and whose business address is the same as the address of the initial registered office.

Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall not be required to be given to any shareholder who shall attend the meeting in person or by proxy, unless attendance is for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not !awfully called or convened, or who shall waive notice thereof in writing signed by the shareholder before, at or after such meeting. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given, except when expressly required by law. Any previously scheduled annual meeting of the shareholders may be postponed, and any special meeting of the shareholders may be canceled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public announcement given prior to the time previously scheduled for such annual or special meeting of the shareholders.

I-1

SECTION 5. Quorum. Shares representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter by all classes or series which are entitled to vote thereon and be counted together collectively, represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of the shareholders, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business thereat with respect to such matter, unless otherwise provided by law or the Articles. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, shares representing a majority of the votes cast on the matter of adjournment, either in person or by proxy, may adjourn such meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum has been obtained, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

SECTION 6. Voting. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Articles, at each meeting of the shareholders each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation upon any date fixed as hereinafter provided, and may vote either in person or by proxy in writing. Unless demanded by a shareholder present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of the shareholders and entitled to vote thereon or so directed by the Chairman of the Board, the vote on any matter need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the shareholder voting or his proxy, and it shall show the number of shares voted.

SECTION 7. Judges. One or more judges or inspectors of election for any meeting of shareholders may be appointed by the Chairman of the Board, for the purpose of receiving and taking charge of proxies and ballots and deciding all questions as to the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and ballots and the number of votes properly cast.

SECTION 9. Business Proposed by a Shareholder. At each meeting of the shareholders, the Chairman of the Board shall act as chairman and preside. In his absence, the Chairman of the Board may designate another officer of the Corporation who need not be a director to preside. The Secretary of the Corporation or an Assistant Secretary, or in their absence, a person whom the chairman of such meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of such meeting.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.

I-2

postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of the first mailing of the Corporation's proxy statement for the immediately preceding year's annual meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the fact that an annual meeting is held before or after the anniversary of the preceding annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, including the complete text of any resolutions to be presented at the annual meeting with respect to such business, and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address of record of the shareholder proposing such business and any other person on whose behalf the proposal is being made,

In the event that a shareholder attempts to bring business before a meeting without complying with the procedures set forth in this Article I, Section 9, such business shall not be transacted at such meeting. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall have the power and duty to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article I, Section 9 and, if any business is not proposed in compliance with this Article 1, Section 9, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded and that such proposed business shall not be transacted at such meeting. For purposes of these Bylaws, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SECTION 10. Nominations by Shareholders. Subject to the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock outstanding, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board or by any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally. Any such shareholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if it is an annual meeting and such shareholder has given timely written notice of such shareholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered either by personal delivery or by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of the first mailing of the Corporation's proxy statement for the immediately preceding year's annual meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the fact that an annual meeting is held before or after the anniversary of the preceding annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and any other person on whose behalf the nomination is being made, and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) the class and number of shares of the Corporation

EMERGENCY BYLAWS.

SECTION 1. Definitions. As used in these Emergency Bylaws,

(a) the term "period of emergency" shall mean any period during which a quorum of the Board cannot readily be assembled because of some catastrophic event.

(b) the term "incapacitated" shall mean that the individual to whom such term is applied shall not have been determined to be dead but shall be missing or unable to discharge the responsibilities of his office; and

(c) the term "senior officer'' shall mean the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any corporate Vice President, the Treasurer, the Controller and the Secretary, and any other person who may have been so designated by the Board before the emergency.

SECTION 2. Applicability. These Emergency Bylaws, as from time to time amended, shall be operative only during any period of emergency. To the extent not inconsistent with these Emergency Bylaws, all provisions of the regular Bylaws of the Corporation shall remain in effect during any period of emergency. No officer, director or employee shall be liable for actions taken in good faith in accordance with these Emergency Bylaws.

SECTION 3. Board of Directors. (a) A meeting of the Board may be called by any director or senior officer of the Corporation. Notice of any meeting of the Board need be given only to such of the directors as it may be feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible at the time, including publication or radio, and at a time less than twenty-four hours before the meeting if deemed necessary by the person giving notice.

(b) At any meeting of the Board, three directors (or such lesser number as may be fixed by these Bylaws as the number of members of the Board of Directors) in attendance shall constitute a quorum. Any act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum shall be present shall be the act of the Board.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The Virginia Stock Corporation Act permits, and the registrant's Articles of Incorporation require, indemnification of the registrant's directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Under Sections 13.1 697 and 13.1-702 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, a Virginia corporation generally is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Insmed Incorporated's Articles of Incorporation require indemnification of directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, expenses and other amounts imposed upon them because of having been a director or officer, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law.

In addition, Insmed Incorporated carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees or agents that may cover liabilities under the Securities Act. Insmed Incorporated's Articles of Incorporation also provide that, to the full extent the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended) permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors and officers, no director or officer of Insmed Incorporated shall be liable to Insmed Incorporated or its shareholders for monetary damages with respect to any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This

II-3


includes information contained in documents filed after the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(2) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.

(3) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.

(4) That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(6) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

[LETTERHEAD OF HUNTON & WILLIAMS]

Board of Directors
Insmed Incorporated
800 East Leigh Street
Richmond, Virginia 23219

Re: Insmed Incorporated Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, for

Issuance of Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Insmed Incorporated, a Virginia corporation (the "Company") in connection with the proposed public offering of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"), as described in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (the "Registration Statement") originally filed on February 10, 2000 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 21(a) of Form S-4 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

We have reviewed the Company's articles of incorporation, the corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares and such other instruments, documents or other information as we deemed necessary or appropriate in rendering our opinion. Based on such review, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and if, as and when issued in accordance with the Registration Statement and the related joint proxy statement/prospectus (as amended and supplemented through the date of issuance) will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, or Item 509 of Regulation S-K.

This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first above written and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company or the Shares.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Hunton & Williams


Exhibit 8.1

March 22, 2000

Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
800 East Leigh Street, Suite 206
Richmond, Virginia 23219

Share Exchange With Insmed Incorporated Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Insmed"), a Virginia corporation, in connection with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among Insmed; Insmed Incorporated ("Holdings"), a newly-formed Virginia corporation; Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Celtrix"), a Delaware corporation; and Celtrix MergerSub, Inc. ("MergerSub"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings; dated as of February 9, 2000 (the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides for Holdings to acquire all the outstanding stock of Insmed through a share exchange (the "Exchange") whereby Insmed shareholders (except for any shareholders who exercise dissenter's rights) will exchange each of their shares of Insmed stock for 3.5 shares of Holdings common stock. The Agreement also provides for Holdings to acquire all the outstanding stock of Celtrix through the merger of MergerSub into Celtrix (the "Merger), with Celtrix shareholders (except for any shareholders who exercise dissenter's rights) receiving one share of Holdings common stock for each of their shares of Celtrix common stock and a number of shares of Holdings common stock based on a formula for each of their shares of Celtrix preferred stock. This opinion is delivered to you in connection with a Form S-4 Registration Statement (the "S-4") relating to the Exchange and the Merger filed under the Securities Act of 1933. Any capitalized term used but not defined in this letter has the meaning given that term in the Agreement.

The Exchange and the Merger are to occur simultaneously. Immediately before the Exchange and the Merger and as part of a single plan for the capitalization of Holdings, Insmed will issue for cash up to 5,632,678 shares of common stock, and Holdings will issue for cash warrants to purchase up to 6,901,344 shares of Holdings common stock, to certain investors pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of January 13, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"). Upon consummation of the Exchange and the Merger, each of Insmed and Celtrix will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings, and the former shareholders of Insmed (including the


Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
March 22, 2000

Page 2

investors who purchase shares of Insmed common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and of Celtrix will own all the outstanding stock of Holdings.

Insmed has three outstanding classes of stock: common stock, series A preferred stock, and series B preferred stock. Celtrix has two outstanding classes of stock: common stock and series A preferred stock. In the Exchange and the Merger, all the shares of preferred stock of Insmed and of Celtrix, as well as all the common stock of each company, are to be exchanged for Holdings common stock. Any Insmed shareholder or Celtrix shareholder who becomes entitled to a fractional share of Holdings common stock as a result of the Exchange or the Merger, after aggregating all the shareholder's shares of Insmed stock or Celtrix stock, will receive cash from Holdings in lieu of the fractional share. Insmed shareholders and Celtrix shareholders are entitled to exercise dissenter's rights with respect to the Exchange and the Merger, respectively.

In connection with the Exchange, each outstanding option and warrant to purchase shares of Insmed common stock will be converted into a new option or warrant to purchase a number of shares of Holdings common stock equal to the number of shares of Insmed common stock that were subject to the option or warrant, multiplied by 3.5. Similarly, in connection with the Merger, each outstanding option and warrant to purchase shares of Celtrix common stock will be converted into a new option or warrant to purchase a number of shares of Holdings common stock equal to the number of shares of Celtrix common stock that were subject to the option or warrant. Holdings will not issue any option or warrant to purchase a fractional share of Holdings common stock. Instead of receiving an option or warrant to purchase a fractional share of Holdings common stock, an option or warrant holder otherwise entitled to a fractional share option or warrant will receive cash from Holdings for the value of such fractional share option or warrant. All other material terms of the former Insmed and Celtrix options and warrants will remain substantially unchanged.

You have requested our opinion concerning certain federal income tax consequences of the Exchange. In giving this opinion, we have reviewed the Agreement, the S-4, and such other documents as we have considered necessary. In addition, we have been advised by appropriate officers of Insmed, Holdings, and Celtrix as follows:

1. The fair market value of the Holdings common stock received by an Insmed shareholder in the Exchange will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Insmed stock surrendered in the Exchange.

2. No share of Holdings common stock issued in connection with the Exchange or the Merger will be issued for services rendered to or for the benefit of Holdings; none of the compensation received by any shareholder-employee of Insmed will be separate consideration

(c) the total fair market value of all the outstanding stock of Insmed.

Agreement) and Celtrix in the aggregate owning less than 80 percent of (a) the total combined voting power of all classes of Holdings voting stock, (b) each class of Holdings nonvoting stock, and (c) the total fair market value of all the outstanding stock of Holdings.

10. At and immediately after the effective time of the Exchange and the Merger, there will not be outstanding any warrants, options, convertible securities, or any other type of rights or agreements pursuant to which any person could acquire stock in Holdings that would result in the former shareholders of Insmed (including the investors who purchase shares of Insmed common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and Celtrix in the aggregate owning less than 80 percent of (a) the total combined voting power of all classes of Holdings voting stock, (b) each class of Holdings nonvoting stock, and (c) the total fair market value of all the outstanding stock of Holdings.

20. After the Exchange and the Merger, (a) less than 50 percent of the fair market value of Holdings' assets (excluding cash, cash items and equivalents, accounts receivable, and United States government securities) will consist of stock and securities and (b) less than 80 percent of the fair market value of Holdings' assets will consist of: stocks, securities, other equity interests in corporations, money, evidences of indebtedness, options, forward or futures contracts, notional principal contracts and derivatives, foreign currency, interests in common trust funds or publicly traded partnerships, precious metals, interests in regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts, equity interests (other than in a corporation) that are readily convertible into or exchangeable for any of the preceding assets, and interests in an entity substantially all of the assets of which consist of any of the preceding assets. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a corporation's assets exclude stock and securities issued by any subsidiary at least 50 percent of the voting power or 50 percent of the total fair market value of the stock of which is owned by the corporation, but the corporation is treated as owning directly a ratable share (based on the percentage of the fair market value of the subsidiary's stock owned by the corporation) of the assets owned by any such subsidiary.

21. At all times during the five-year period ending on the effective date of the Exchange, the fair market value of all of Insmed's United States real property interests was and will have been less than 50 percent of the total fair market value of (a) its United States real property interests, (b) its interests in real property located outside the United States, and (c) its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. For purposes of the preceding sentence, (x) United States real property interests include all interests (other than an interest solely as a creditor) in real property and associated personal property (such as movable walls and furnishings) located in the United States or the Virgin Islands and interests in any corporation (other than a controlled corporation) owning any United States real property interest,
(y) Insmed is treated as owning its proportionate share (based on the relative fair market value of its ownership interest to all ownership interests) of the assets owned by any controlled corporation or any partnership, trust, or estate in which Insmed is a partner or beneficiary, and (z) any such entity in turn is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets owned by any controlled corporation or any partnership, trust, or estate in which the entity is a partner or beneficiary. As used in this paragraph, "controlled corporation" means any corporation at least 50 percent of the


Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
March 22, 2000

Page 6

fair market value of the stock of which is owned by Insmed, in the case of a first-tier subsidiary of Insmed, or by a controlled corporation, in the case of a lower-tier subsidiary.

22. Any shares of Holdings common stock received in exchange for shares of Insmed stock that were acquired in connection with the performance of services and are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of section 83(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") will be subject to substantially the same risk of forfeiture after the Exchange.

23. With respect to each outstanding option or warrant to acquire Insmed stock or Celtrix stock, either (a) at the time of issuance, the exercise price of each such option or warrant was not less than the fair market value of the stock for which such option or warrant is exercisable or (b) if, at the time of issuance, the exercise price for such option or warrant was less than the fair market value of the stock for which the option or warrant is exercisable, the holder of such option or warrant owns stock of Insmed or Celtrix, as the case may be, that will be exchanged for Holdings common stock in the Exchange or the Merger.

24. If dissenter's rights are exercised with respect to any shares of Insmed stock, Insmed will pay or provide the funds for payment to, and Holdings will not directly or indirectly pay or provide the funds for payment to, any Insmed shareholder who exercises dissenter's rights.

On the basis of the foregoing, and assuming that (a) the Exchange and the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the Agreement and (b) the facts and representations set forth herein and in the officers' certificates provided to us by Holdings, Insmed, and Celtrix are and will remain true and accurate, we are of the opinion that (under existing law) for federal income tax purposes:

1. The Exchange will be a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code or will, in conjunction with the Merger and the transactions provided for in the Purchase Agreement, be part of a transaction described in section 351(a) of the Code.

2. Holdings will not recognize any gain or loss on the issuance of Holdings common stock or the acquisition of Insmed stock in the Exchange.

3. Insmed will not recognize any gain or loss on Holdings' acquisition of Insmed stock in exchange for shares of Holdings common stock in the Exchange.

4. An Insmed shareholder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of shares of Insmed stock solely for shares of Holdings common stock (including any fractional share interest) in the Exchange.


Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
March 22, 2000

Page 7

5. The aggregate basis of the shares of Holdings common stock (including any fractional share interest) received by an Insmed shareholder in the Exchange will be the same as the shareholder's aggregate basis in the shares of Insmed stock exchanged therefor.

6. The holding period for shares of Holdings common stock (including any fractional share interest) received by an Insmed shareholder in the Exchange will include the holding period for the shares of Insmed stock exchanged therefor, if such shares of Insmed stock are held as a capital asset on the effective date of the Exchange.

7. Cash received by an Insmed shareholder in lieu of a fractional share of Holdings common stock will be treated as having been received as full payment in exchange for such fractional share pursuant to section 302(a) of the Code. Accordingly, an Insmed shareholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of Holdings common stock will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the shareholder's basis in the fractional share interest.

We are also of the opinion that the material federal income tax consequences of the Exchange to Insmed shareholders are fairly summarized in the S-4 under the headings "Summary--Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "The Reorganizations--Material Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Except as set forth above, we express no opinion regarding any tax consequences of the Exchange. This opinion may not be distributed, quoted in whole or in part or otherwise reproduced in any document, or filed with any governmental agency without our prior written consent. We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the S-4 and to references to this firm in the S-4 under the aforementioned headings. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,

Exhibit 8.2

Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
2033 Gateway Place, Suite 600
San Jose, CA 95110

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of November 30, 1999, and amended as of February 9, 2000 (including all amendments thereto, the "Agreement") by and among Insmed Incorporated, a Virginia corporation ("Parent"), Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Celtrix"),
Celtrix Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"), and Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Virginia corporation

("Insmed"). Pursuant to the Agreement, (i) Sub will merge with and into Celtrix and Celtrix will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"), and
(ii) shareholders of Insmed will exchange all of their Insmed Shares for Parent Common Stock and Insmed will also become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Capital Contribution" and collectively with the Merger, the "Transaction").

Except as otherwise provided, capitalized terms referred to herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. All section references, unless otherwise indicated, are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

We have acted as legal counsel to Celtrix in connection with the Merger and the Transaction. As such, and for the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have examined and are relying upon (without any independent investigation or review thereof) the truth and accuracy, at all relevant times, of the statements, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the following documents (including all exhibits and schedules attached thereto):

1. The Agreement (including exhibits);

2. Representations made to us by Celtrix, Sub, Insmed and Parent in certificates of even date herewith delivered to us by authorized officers of those corporations ("Officer's Tax Certificates");

Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
March 22, 2000

Page 2

3. The Registration Statement filed by Insmed Incorporated with the Securities Exchange Commission (which includes a proxy statement-prospectus relating to the Merger) (the "Registration Statement").

4. Such other instruments and documents related to the operation of Celtrix, Sub, Insmed and Parent, or to the consummation of the Merger, the Transaction, and the transactions contemplated thereby, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate.

In connection with rendering this opinion, we have assumed or obtained representations (and are relying thereon, without any independent investigation or review thereof) that:

1. Original documents (including signatures) are authentic, documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original documents, and there has been (or will be by the Effective Time) due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to effectiveness thereof;

2. Any representation or statement made "to the best knowledge of" or otherwise similarly qualified is correct without such qualification. As to all matters in which a person or entity making a representation has represented that such person or entity either is not a party to, does not have, or is not aware of any present plan, intention, understanding or agreement to take an action, there is in fact no plan, intention, understanding or agreement and such action will not be taken;

3. All statements, descriptions and representations contained in any of the documents referred to herein or otherwise made to us by Celtrix, Sub, Insmed or Parent, their managements, employees, officers, directors and stockholders in connection with the Merger and the Transaction, including without limitation the Agreement and the Officer's Tax Certificates, are true and correct in all material respects and will continue to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Time and all other relevant times, and no actions have been (or will be) taken which are inconsistent with such statements, descriptions and representations;

4. The Merger will be reported by Parent, Insmed and Celtrix on their respective federal income tax returns in a manner consistent with the opinion set forth below;

5. The Merger and Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the Agreement (and without any waiver, breach or amendment of any of the provisions thereof) and will be effective under the applicable state law;

6. In the Merger, shares of Celtrix capital stock possessing at least 80% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and at least 80% of the


Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
March 22, 2000

Page 3

total number of shares of all other classes of Celtrix capital stock will be exchanged solely for Parent voting stock (taking into account as Celtrix capital stock outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger shares of Celtrix capital stock exchanged, or redeemed by Celtrix, including without limitation shares of Celtrix's Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, for cash or other property originating with, or reimbursed to Celtrix by, Parent, Insmed or any other person other than Celtrix); and

7. The opinion of counsel to be issued by Hunton & Williams to Insmed and Parent has been delivered and not withdrawn.

Based on our examination of the foregoing items and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(a) for federal income tax purposes, the Merger will be a "reorganization" as defined in Section 368(a) of the Code, and

(b) the opinion ascribed to us in the Registration Statement under the caption "Material Federal Income Tax Consequences," except as otherwise indicated, represents our opinion as to the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger under applicable law.

This opinion does not apply to, and no conclusion is expressed regarding, the treatment of Celtrix shareholders to the extent that they receive (i) Parent Common Stock with respect to accrued but unpaid dividends, or (ii) property or rights (other than Parent common stock) with respect to Celtrix capital stock.

This opinion represents and is based upon our best judgment regarding the application of federal income tax laws arising under the Code, existing judicial decisions, administrative regulations and published rulings and procedures. Our opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully assert a contrary position. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, would not adversely affect the accuracy of the conclusions stated herein. Nevertheless, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any new developments in the application or interpretation of the federal income tax laws.

This opinion addresses only the classification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and does not address any other federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences that may result from the Merger or any other transaction (including any transaction undertaken in connection with the Merger and the Transaction). In particular, we express no opinion regarding the tax consequences of the exchange of shares of Insmed capital stock for shares of Parent capital stock in the capital contribution.


Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
March 22, 2000

Page 4

No opinion is expressed as to any transaction other than the Merger as described in the Agreement or to any transaction whatsoever, including the Merger and the capital contribution, if all the transactions described in the Agreement are not consummated in accordance with the terms of such Agreement and without waiver or breach of any material provision thereof or if all of the representations, warranties, statements and assumptions upon which we relied are not true and accurate at all relevant times. In the event any one of the statements, representations, warranties or assumptions upon which we have relied to issue this opinion is incorrect, our opinion might be adversely affected and may not be relied upon.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to references to this opinion in the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement under the heading "Material Federal Income Tax Consequences" therein. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. The filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and the references to the opinion and our firm therein are not intended to create liability under the applicable state law to any person other than Celtrix, our client.

This opinion has been delivered to you for the purpose of satisfying the conditions of the Agreement and is intended solely for your benefit; it may not be relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person or entity, and may not be made available to any other person or entity without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

Such option period shall commence upon notification from LICENSOR that it has received an Invention Disclosure related to the inventions described in Section 1.9(a) through (g) and terminate thirty (30) days after such notification ("Termination Date"). Such notification shall include a copy of the Invention Disclosure and any other information necessary for LICENSEE to make a decision as to whether to acquire the New Invention. Prior to the Termination Date, LICENSEE may acquire a license to such additional invention by delivering to the LICENSOR a certified or cashier's check in the amount of $20,000 and a letter identifying the invention being acquired. Upon such payment said New Invention shall be added to Schedule A of this agreement and included within the definition of "SUBJECT PRODUCT".

Letters Patent is now being prepared and which substances and antagonists were invented by Drs. Galasko, Larner, and Huang and (ii) to an invention known as "Preparation and Use of Antibodies against Oligosaccharides Derived from the

Glycosylphosphatidylinositols for which U. S. Patent Application Number 324,744 was filed on March 17, 1989. Such option period as to each invention shall commence as of the date of this agreement and terminate June 30, 1993. Prior to the termination date, LICENSEE may acquire a license to each such additional invention by delivering to the LICENSOR a certified or cashier's check in the amount of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500) with a letter identifying which invention is being acquired. Upon such payment said new invention shall be added to schedule A of this agreement and included within the definition of "Subject Product". During the option period LICENSEE shall bear all patenting costs and expenses. If at any time LICENSEE notifies LICENSOR that LICENSEE is unwilling to bear such costs as to one of the inventions, then the option as to that invention will terminate.

2.4 It is understood and agreed that insofar as LICENSOR may now own or hereafter acquire rights under letters patent owned or controlled by another, with claims conveying a SUBJECT PRODUCT, and as to which LICENSOR has the right to grant licenses


- 7 -

- 8 -

under this Agreement. This representation and warranty shall survive any termination of this Agreement whether by expiration or otherwise.

ARTICLE III- DUE DILIGENCE

ARTICLE IV - ROYALTIES, PAYMENTS AND STOCK

4.1 In consideration of the rights and privileges granted hereunder and the expenses incurred and services rendered by LICENSOR incidental to the preparation of this Agreement and the issuance of the license hereunder, LICENSEE has paid LICENSOR $46,750 and has committed substantial amounts to the research costs. Upon execution of this agreement between Licensee and Licensor,

ARTICLE VII - TERMINATION

7.1 If LICENSEE shall become bankrupt or insolvent and/or if the business of LICENSEE shall be placed in the hands of a receiver, assignee or trustee for the benefit of creditors,


- 14 -

whether by voluntary act of LICENSEE or otherwise, or if royalties due hereunder remain unpaid for more than thirty (30) days, LICENSOR shall have the right to serve notice upon LICENSEE, in accordance with Article XV, of LICENSOR's intention to terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after LICENSEE's receipt of such notice; provided that in such event and within 30 days after LICENSEE's receipt of such notice the LICENSOR confirms that a sublicensee may pay any royalties or other payments due directly to LICENSOR and that if such royalty payments are made within the aforesaid 30 days then this agreement shall not terminate. Such notice shall state the cause for LICENSOR's intention to terminate this Agreement. If LICENSEE does not alleviate such cause within such thirty (30) day period, this Agreement and all rights, privileges and licenses granted hereunder shall terminate at the end of such thirty (30) day period and neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder except as may have then accrued under this Agreement before such termination or as otherwise provided herein.

7.2 Upon any material breach or default of this Agreement by either party (the "Breaching Party"), other than non-payment of royalties which is provided for in Article 7.1, the other party (the "Non-Breaching Party") shall have the right to serve notice upon the Breaching Party, in accordance with Article XV, of the Non-Breaching Party's intention to terminate this Agreement within ninety (90) days after the Breaching Party's


- 15 -

receipt of such notice. Such notice shall state the cause for the Non-Breaching Party's intention to terminate this Agreement within ninety (90) days after the Breaching Party's receipt of such notice. Such notice shall state the cause for the Non-Breaching Party's intention to terminate this Agreement. If the Breaching Party does not alleviate such cause within such ninety (90) day period, this Agreement and all rights, privileges and licenses granted hereunder shall terminate at the end of such ninety (90) day period and neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder except as may have then accrued under this Agreement before such termination or as otherwise provided herein.

7.3 LICENSEE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without cause, upon ninety (90) days notice to LICENSOR in accordance with Article XV. Following such termination, neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder except as may have then accrued under this Agreement before such termination or as otherwise provided herein. On receiving such notice, if LICENSEE so requested therein, LICENSOR shall negotiate with LICENSEE a nonexclusive license, at a reasonable royalty rate, under those PATENT RIGHTS licensed herein which are unexpired at the date of termination and under which LICENSEE then desires a license.

7.4 Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed to release either party from any obligation which matured prior to the effective date of


- 16 -

termination. After the effective date of such termination, LICENSEE and its sublicensees shall have the right to sell all LICENSED PRODUCTS manufactured before such date, and to complete the manufacture of and sell all LICENSED PRODUCTS in the process of manufacture on such date, provided that LICENSEE shall pay royalties and render reports with respect to such sales to LICENSOR in the manner required hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII - DISCLAIMER

INFORMATION DISCLOSED BY LICENSOR TO LICENSEE SHALL BE ACCURATE TO THE BEST OF LICENSOR'S KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF BUT LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE ACCURACY OF SUCH INFORMATION RELATING TO ANY PATENTS OR ANY METHODS, TECHNIQUES, PROCESSES, INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE, KNOW-HOW, TRADE PRACTICES OR SECRET DATA COMMUNICATED TO LICENSEE.
ARTICLE IX - IMPROVEMENTS

9.1 LICENSEE agrees to furnish to LICENSOR, without delay and free of charge, technical information on improvements or inventions relating to PATENT RIGHTS made by LICENSEE during the continuation of this Agreement; provided, however, that such disclosure shall be for the sole use of LICENSOR and LICENSOR agrees not to disclose any such information to any third party without the express written consent of LICENSEE.

9.2 If a LICENSED PRODUCT is modified or improved as a result of a new invention which is patentable and made by LICENSEE, LICENSOR shall be entitled to obtain letters patent


- 17 -

with respect thereto in all countries without being required to make any payment to LICENSEE, and LICENSEE shall assign its respective rights in such modifications in such invention to LICENSOR as may be necessary to enable LICENSOR to obtain such letters patent; provided that in such case any such invention shall be included under Section 1.9 and Exhibit A without further consideration.

ARTICLE X - UNLICENSED ACTIVITY AND INFRINGEMENT

10.1 If LICENSEE or any sublicensee hereunder is required to pay any royalty or damages to any person or entity other than LICENSOR (a "Third Party Licensor"), as a result of a judgment, settlement or agreement relating to the past or future exercise of the rights and licenses granted pursuant to Article II, then the royalties payable to LICENSOR hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-half of such payments to the Third Party Licensor(s), but under any event such royalties payable to the Third Party Licensor and LICENSOR shall not exceed in total the royalty rates agreed to pursuant to Section 4.2. If LICENSEE avails itself of the provisions of this Article 10.1, LICENSEE shall provide LICENSOR with proof of the payments to such Third Party Licensor(s).

10.4 If within six (6) months after having been notified by LICENSEE of any alleged infringement of any PATENT RIGHT, LICENSOR has been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist in such infringement and has not brought or is not diligently prosecuting a suit with respect to such infringement, or if at any time LICENSOR notifies LICENSEE of LICENSOR's intention not to bring suit against any alleged infringer, then, and in that event only, LICENSEE may, but shall not be obligated to, prosecute at its own expense (subject to Article 10.7 below) such infringement, and for such purposes to join LICENSOR as a party plaintiff in such infringement suit without expense to LICENSOR; provided that the right to bring such an infringement suit shall remain in effect only during the continuation of this Agreement.

10.5 In the event a declaratory judgment action alleging the invalidity or non-infringement of any of the PATENT RIGHTS is brought against LICENSEE, LICENSOR at its option, shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such action, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.


- 19 -

10.6 In any infringement suit which either party may bring to enforce any PATENT RIGHT pursuant to this Agreement, the other party agrees, at the request and expense of the party initiating the suit, to cooperate in all respects, to have its employees testify when requested to do so and to make available all relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens and the like.

10.7 In the event that LICENSEE undertakes the enforcement or defense of any PATENT RIGHT by litigation or settlement, LICENSEE may withhold up to fifty percent (50%) of the royalties otherwise payable to LICENSOR hereunder and apply the same toward reimbursement of LICENSEE's expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection therewith. Any damages or settlement proceeds recovered by LICENSEE shall be applied (a) first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of LICENSEE relating to the suit and/or settlement thereof, (b) second to LICENSOR any royalties withheld pursuant to this Article, (c) third to LICENSEE an amount equal to LICENSEE's lost Net Sales due to the subject infringement, (d) fourth to LICENSOR an amount equal to the royalty on the amount calculated pursuant to (c) above and (e) fifth the balance remaining, if any, shall be divided equally between LICENSEE and LICENSOR.

10.8 Except as hereinafter provided, no settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary and final disposition of any suit relating to the enforcement or defense of any PATENT RIGHT may be entered into without the consent of both LICENSOR and


- 20 -

LICENSEE, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. However, during the continuation of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall have the sole right, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, to grant any alleged infringer a sublicense under any PATENT RIGHTS.

10.9 In the event that LICENSOR undertakes the enforcement or defense of any PATENT RIGHT by litigation or settlement, any damages or settlement proceeds recovered by LICENSOR shall be applied (a) first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of LICENSOR relating to the suit and/or settlement thereof, (b) second to LICENSEE an amount equal to LICENSEE's lost NET SALES due to the subject infringement, (c) third to LICENSOR an amount equal to its royalty calculated pursuant to (b) above and (d) fourth the balance, if any, shall be paid and divided equally between LICENSOR and LICENSEE.

10.10 In the event (a) of any infringement of any PATENT RIGHT in which LICENSEE has an exclusive license at the time of the infringement, and pursuant to which license LICENSEE at that time sells one or more LICENSED PRODUCT(S) on a scale which would significantly affect LICENSEE's net income, and (b) neither LICENSOR nor LICENSEE elects to bring an infringement suit against the alleged infringer, the royalties payable by LICENSEE hereunder shall be reduced by twenty percent (20%) of the sums otherwise payable hereunder; provided, however, that LICENSEE shall present information to LICENSOR that such infringer has refused to enter into a sublicense agreement with LICENSEE.


ARTICLE XI - ASSIGNMENT

LICENSEE may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement and the rights and licenses granted hereunder to a third party, provided (a) such assignment or transfer is accompanied by a sale of the LICENSEE'S entire business or of that part of LICENSEE's business to which this Agreement relates, or by a merger, acquisition, joint venture, exchange of shares, or other transfer relating to LICENSEE's entire business or that part of LICENSEE's business to which this Agreement relates, and (b) the assignee or transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. LICENSEE shall give LICENSOR thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any such proposed assignment or transfer.

If LICENSOR does not exercise such right to invalidate or void such assignment or transfer in writing during such thirty
(30) day period, LICENSOR shall be deemed to have approved such assignment or transfer. Following any assignment or transfer of this Agreement pursuant to this Article, the assignee or transferee shall be substituted as the LICENSEE hereunder and the former


- 22 -

LICENSEE shall have no further right or obligations hereunder, except that the former Licensee shall have the right to sell all LICENSED PRODUCTS manufactured by LICENSEE before such date, and to complete the manufacture on such date, and the former LICENSEE shall be obligated to pay royalties and render reports with respect to such sales to LICENSOR in the manner required hereunder.

ARTICLE XII - INDEMNIFICATION

LICENSEE shall indemnify and hold LICENSOR harmless from any and all liability for personal inquiry, damage to property and the consequences thereof, resulting from or arising out of LICENSEE's performance or nonperformance of LICENSEE's obligations hereunder, or LICENSEE's exercise of the license granted herein; provided, however, that LICENSEE shall not indemnify LICENSOR for any liability attributable, in whole or in part, to LICENSOR's negligence or misconduct.

- 23 -

benefit of LICENSEE, or in any filing with any governmental agency.
