Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 11, 2016, Shire plc, a company incorporated in Jersey (" Shire "), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the " Merger Agreement ") with Baxalta Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (" Baxalta ") and BearTracks, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shire (" Merger Sub "), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Baxalta (the " Merger "), with Baxalta surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shire. Shire and Baxalta also entered into a Letter Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2016 (the " Letter Agreement ") with Baxter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (" Baxter "), which sets forth certain rights and obligations of the parties related to tax, securities and other matters.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Shire has entered into an $18.0 billion facilities agreement (the " Facilities Agreement ") as more fully described below; however, the closing of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not conditioned upon any financing requirement of Shire or Merger Sub, including the financing under the Facilities Agreement.

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Baxalta common stock, par value $0.01 per share (each, a " Baxalta Share ") (other than Baxalta Shares held by Baxalta as treasury stock, owned by Shire or any of its subsidiaries, or as to which dissenters' rights have been properly exercised) will be converted into the right to receive (i) $18.00 in cash, without interest (the " Per Share Cash Consideration ") and (ii) 0.1482 of a Shire American depositary share (" Shire ADS ") (the " Per Share Stock Consideration ," and together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the " Per Share Consideration "), except that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional Shire ADSs. Shire may, in its sole discretion, permit Baxalta stockholders to elect to receive 0.4446 of an ordinary share of Shire, par value £0.05 per share (" Shire Ordinary Share "), in lieu of the Per Share Stock Consideration, in which case any Shire Ordinary Shares delivered to Baxalta stockholders will be deemed to be the Per Share Stock Consideration.

Baxalta stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units will generally, upon consummation of the Merger, be exchanged for equivalent stock options (in the case of Baxalta stock options) and restricted stock units (in the case of Baxalta restricted stock units and performance stock units) with respect to Shire ADSs or Shire ordinary shares. Baxalta stock options that were subject to performance-based vesting conditions prior to the Merger and Baxalta performance stock units will vest following the Merger solely based on the service provider's continued employment or other engagement by Shire or its subsidiaries through the end of the applicable performance periods. Baxalta stock options granted to non-employee directors of Baxalta or Baxter will be cancelled and exchanged for an amount equal to the Per Share Consideration the holder would have received if he or she had exercised the stock options in full on a cashless basis (without regard to taxes) immediately prior to the closing, and each restricted stock unit granted to a non-employee director of Baxalta or Baxter will be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Consideration.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, Shire has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to appoint at closing three members of Baxalta's Board of Directors to serve on Shire's Board of Directors, including Wayne Hockmeyer to serve as deputy chairman, and to nominate the same appointees for election as directors at the 2016 (if applicable) and 2017 Shire annual general meetings, subject to satisfactory compliance with attendance and performance expectation of the Shire Board of Directors.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for transactions of this type. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except as expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement, Shire and Baxalta have each agreed to operate in the ordinary course of business and to satisfy certain other operating covenants.

Baxalta has agreed to cease all existing, and not to solicit or initiate, discussions with third parties regarding any proposal involving greater than 20% of Baxalta's stock or assets. Shire has agreed to similar restrictions regarding Shire. However, each party may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, furnish information to, and engage in discussions and negotiations with, a third party that makes an unsolicited, written acquisition proposal. Under certain circumstances and upon compliance with certain notice and other specified conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each party may change the recommendation of its board of directors or terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Shire and Baxalta, including, among others, the right of a party to terminate if (i) the other party's board of directors withdraws or qualifies its recommendation in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or approves or recommends an alternative transaction or (ii) its board of directors resolves to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal prior to obtaining approval of the Merger from its stockholders. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances described in the Merger Agreement, including those described above, Shire or Baxalta, as applicable, will be required to pay a termination fee equal to $369.0 million. In certain circumstances, a party that receives an alternative acquisition proposal prior to termination of the Merger Agreement would be required to reimburse fees of, up to $110.0 million for Shire or $65.0 million for Baxalta.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including, among others, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, merger control approval under the relevant merger control laws of the European Union and other jurisdictions, re-confirmation of opinions delivered at signing by tax advisors to Shire and Baxter, and certain other closing conditions, each as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Shire and Baxalta have agreed, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to use reasonable best efforts to obtain antitrust approval of the transaction. In addition, the consummation of the Merger is subject to Baxalta stockholders adopting the Merger Agreement and Shire stockholders approving the issuance of Shire Ordinary Shares in connection with the Merger and an increase in Shire's borrowing authority and approving the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, it being a class 1 transaction for the purposes of the rules and regulations of the UK Listing Authority.

Letter Agreement

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Baxter has agreed to waive Section 4.02(c) of the Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2015 (the " Tax Matters Agreement "), by and between Baxalta and Baxter, with respect to the closing of the Merger and thereby consent to the Merger if (i) Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP (" Cravath ") delivers a tax opinion to Shire and Baxter's advisor delivers a tax opinion to Baxter, in each case on the date immediately prior to the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and (ii) Cravath and Baxter's advisor each delivers an opinion in substantially the same form and substance as the related opinion delivered pursuant to clause (i) immediately prior to the closing of the Merger to Shire and Baxter, respectively.

The Letter Agreement contains a representation from Baxter that Baxter has received the tax opinion required to be delivered on the date immediately prior to the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement for this condition to be satisfied. Baxter acknowledged receipt of the required opinion from its tax advisor. Also, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Shire received an opinion from Cravath to the effect that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement would not cause specified dispositions of Baxalta Shares by Baxter, including the distribution of those shares to Baxter stockholders on July 1, 2015, to fail to qualify as tax-free to Baxter and its stockholders under Sections 355, 361 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Letter Agreement also clarifies various indemnification provisions contained in the Tax Matters Agreement. Specifically, from and after the closing of the Merger, Baxalta will indemnify

Baxter and each of its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees against certain tax-related losses attributable to or resulting from the Merger except as a result of certain dispositions of Baxalta Shares by Baxter (as contemplated by the Letter Agreement). Further, it provides that, effective as of the closing of the Merger, Shire will guarantee the payment and performance by Baxalta of its obligations and agreements under the Tax Matters Agreement and other agreements related to the distribution.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Shire agreed to support Baxalta's obligations to Baxter pursuant to the Shareholder's and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2015 (the " Registration Rights Agreement ") by and between Baxalta and Baxter in connection with Baxter's disposition of approximately 19.5% of Baxalta's outstanding stock through certain proposed debt-for-equity and/or equity-for-equity exchanges. Such cooperation and obligations include, among other things, (i) Baxalta's obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") as promptly as practicable upon receipt of a demand notice from Baxter and (ii) Shire's and Baxalta's respective obligations to use their reasonable best efforts to (a) provide certain financial information and make certain filings with the SEC by the dates specified in the Letter Agreement, (b) prepare and assist in the preparation and delivery of certain offering documentation and (c) cause their respective senior executive officers to participate in customary due diligence sessions and "road show" presentations, in each case, in connection with the proposed debt-for-equity and/or equity-for-equity exchanges.

Baxter has consented to the use of a statement expressing its support for the Merger and waived its appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Merger. Shire and Baxalta each agreed not to hold its special meeting of stockholders with respect to, or to consummate, the Merger until the earliest of (i) the date that Baxter has completed marketing periods for two debt-for-equity exchanges and one equity exchange offer with respect to its Baxalta Shares, (ii) the date that Baxter has disposed of all its Baxalta Shares and (iii) June 17, 2016 (subject to tolling or extension (generally no later than June 25, 2016) under certain limited circumstances).

The Letter Agreement may be terminated (i) by mutual written consent of Shire, Baxalta and Baxter, (ii) by Shire or Baxalta upon termination of the Merger Agreement or (iii) upon the closing of the Merger, in each case subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement.

Facilities Agreement

On January 11, 2016, Shire, as original guarantor and original borrower, entered into the Facilities Agreement, an $18.0 billion bridge facilities agreement among Shire, Barclays Bank PLC (" Barclays "), acting as agent, and Morgan Stanley Bank International Limited, together with Barclays, acting as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners. The Facilities Agreement comprises two credit facilities: (i) a $13.0 billion term loan facility which, subject to a one year extension option exercisable at Shire's option, matures on January 11, 2017 (" Facility A ") and (ii) a $5.0 billion revolving loan facility which, subject to a one year extension option exercisable at Shire's option, matures on January 11, 2017 (" Facility B " and together with Facility A, the " Facilities "). Shire has agreed to act as guarantor for any of its subsidiaries that become additional borrowers under the Facilities Agreement.

The Facilities may be used to finance the consideration payable in respect of the Merger and certain costs related to the Merger. In addition, Facility B may be used to finance the redemption of all or part of the Target Notes, as defined in the Facilities Agreement.

Interest on any loans made under the Facilities will be payable on the last day of each interest period, which may be one week or one, two, three or six months, or as otherwise agreed with the lenders. The interest rate applicable to each of the Facilities is LIBOR plus 1.25 percent per annum, increasing by: (i) 0.25 percent per annum on July 11, 2017 and on each subsequent date falling at three month intervals thereafter and (ii) 0.50 percent per annum on April 11, 2017 and on each subsequent date falling at three month intervals thereafter.

Shire shall also pay a commitment fee on the available but unutilized commitments under the Facilities Agreement for the availability period applicable to each of the Facilities. With effect from first utilization, the commitment fee rate will be 35 percent of the applicable margin in respect of each of the Facilities. Before first utilization, the commitment fee rate shall be increased in stages from 10 percent to 35 percent of the applicable margin in respect of each of the Facilities over a period of five months.

The Facilities Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including requirements that the ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA of the Group, each as defined in the Facilities Agreement, for the most recently ended Relevant Period, as defined in the Facilities Agreement, must not, at any time, exceed 3.5:1, except that following certain acquisitions, including the Merger, Shire may elect to increase its financial covenant headroom to (i) 5.5:1 in respect of the Relevant Period in which the acquisition was completed, (ii) 5.0:1 in respect of the first Relevant Period following the Relevant Period in which the acquisition was completed and (iii) 4.5:1 in respect of the second Relevant Period following the Relevant Period in which the acquisition was completed. In addition, the ratio of EBITDA of the Group to Net Interest, each as defined in the Facilities Agreement, in respect of the most recently ended Relevant Period must not be less than 4.0:1.

The Facilities Agreement restricts, subject to certain exceptions, Shire's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional financial indebtedness, grant security over its assets or provide or guarantee loans. Further, any lender may require mandatory prepayment of its participation if there is a change of control of Shire. In addition, in certain circumstances and subject to certain broad exceptions, the net cash proceeds of disposals and certain issues, loans, sales or offerings of debt securities by any member of Shire's group must be applied in cancellation of the available commitments under the Facilities and, if applicable, mandatory prepayment of any loans made under the Facilities.

Events of default under the Facilities Agreement include, subject to customary grace periods and materiality thresholds: (i) non-payment of any amounts due under the Facilities, (ii) failure to satisfy any financial covenants and other obligations under the Facilities Agreement, (iii) material misrepresentation in any of the finance documents, (iv) failure to pay, or certain other defaults, under other financial indebtedness, (v) certain insolvency events or proceedings, (vi) material adverse changes in the business, operations, assets or financial condition of Shire and its subsidiaries, (vii) if it becomes unlawful for Shire or any of its subsidiaries that are parties to the Facilities Agreement to perform their obligations or (viii) if Shire or any subsidiary of Shire which is a party to the Facilities Agreement repudiates the Facilities Agreement or any other finance document, among others.

The Facilities Agreement is governed by English law. Shire's obligations to consummate the Merger are not conditioned on the receipt of the financing under the Facilities Agreement

Additional Information

The foregoing is a general description of the Merger, Merger Agreement, Letter Agreement and Facilities Agreement; it does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, Letter Agreement and Facilities Agreement, which are attached as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and incorporated in this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.

The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to provide investors and Shire stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Shire, Merger Sub or Baxalta or any of their respective affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Merger Agreement, were made as of specific dates, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may not have been intended to be statements of fact, but rather, as a method of allocating risk and governing the contractual rights and relationships among the parties to the Merger Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the text of the Merger Agreement and may apply standards of materiality and other qualifications and limitations in a way

that is different from what may be viewed as material by Shire's or Baxalta's stockholders. In reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions were not intended by the parties to the Merger Agreement to be characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Shire, Merger Sub or Baxalta or any of their respective affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures. For the foregoing reasons, the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions of those provisions should not be read alone and should instead be read in conjunction with the other information contained in the reports, statements and filings that Shire and Baxalta publicly file with the SEC. Shire acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K not misleading.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Company Board") has determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are advisable to, fair to and in the best interests of, the Company and the holders of outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, has resolved to recommend that the holders of shares of Company Common Stock adopt this Agreement;

The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later time and date as may be agreed by Parent and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger, and such time on such date is referred to herein as the "Effective Time."

1.3 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place as early as practicable on a date to be specified by the parties hereto, which shall be no later than the fourth (4 ^th ) Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7, except for any such conditions that by their nature may only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing (the "Closing Date"), at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP, Prudential Tower, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02199, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

1.5 Subsequent Actions. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either the Company or Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each such corporation or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

SECTION 2

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of common stock of Sub ("Sub Common Stock"):

(a) Sub Common Stock and Surviving Corporation Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Sub Common Stock shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist. Immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall issue to Parent a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation equal to the number of

shares of Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time upon payment by Parent to the Surviving Corporation of an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of the Surviving Corporation issued to Parent and (y) the par value of such shares.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock that are held by the Company as treasury stock and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Shares of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares shall be converted into the right to receive both (i) $18.00 (the "Per Share Cash Consideration"), payable to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and (ii) 0.1482 of a Parent ADS duly and validly issued against the deposit of the requisite number of Parent Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Deposit Agreement (the "Per Share Stock Consideration" together with the Per Share Cash Consideration are collectively referred to herein as the "Per Share Merger Consideration"). From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a "Certificate") or book-entry share (a "Book-Entry Share") that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions declared by the Company Board having a record date prior to the Effective Time which remain unpaid as of the Effective Time, without interest thereon, together with any dividends or other distributions to which holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.2.

(d) Parent Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent may, in its sole discretion, permit holders of Company Common Stock to elect to receive 0.4446 of a Parent Ordinary Share for each outstanding share of Company Common Stock in lieu of the Per Share Stock Consideration described in Section 2.1(c)(ii), in which event (i) any and all Parent Ordinary Shares delivered to such holders who have elected to receive Parent Ordinary Shares shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the Per Share Stock Consideration and (ii) Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Parent ADSs through the registration, issuance, delivery and listing of Parent Ordinary Shares.

(e) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock (or American depositary shares, as the case may be) of the Company or Parent shall occur as a result of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), combination, exchange, readjustment, stock dividend or stock distribution or any similar event, the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.4) shall be equitably adjusted to provide to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units and other awards under the Company Equity Plan the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.1(e) shall be deemed to permit any party hereto to take any action that is prohibited under either Section 5.1(b) or 5.2(b) or that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares .

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent for the holders of shares of

Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the "Exchange Agent") and to receive the consideration to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c). Parent shall, at or prior to the Closing, (i) deposit, or cause any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent to deposit, with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock, the cash necessary to pay the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and (ii) (A) deposit with the Exchange Agent American depositary receipts evidencing or (B) provide the Exchange Agent an uncertificated Parent ADS book-entry representing the aggregate number of Parent ADSs that are issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (such cash and Parent ADSs, together with any distributions or dividends with respect thereto as provided in Section 2.2(c), being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). If for any reason the Exchange Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled under Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.2(e), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent to deposit promptly, additional cash with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all cash payments of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration and any cash payable in lieu of fractional Parent ADSs pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and additional Parent ADSs with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all payments of the aggregate Per Share Stock Consideration, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for payment thereof. The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent and any interest resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent; provided, that (x) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States or guaranteed by the United States and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC ("S&P"), respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank purchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $15 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of investment and (y) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures .

(i) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock, whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificate to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and properly completed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2.2 and shall not evidence any interest in, or any right to exercise the rights of a stockholder or other equity holder of, the Company or the Surviving Corporation. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, American depositary receipts or book-entries representing the proper number of Parent ADSs, together with a check for any cash to be paid upon due

surrender of the Certificate, shall be issued to such transferee (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5) if the Certificate formerly representing such shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any and all transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the issuance to such transferee have been paid or are not applicable.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an "agent's message" in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each such share of Company Common Stock, and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. All Parent ADSs to be issued pursuant to the Merger (and all Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby) shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time; provided that no dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent ADSs or Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the former holder of any Company Common Stock until such holder shall surrender such shares in accordance with this Section 2.2. Subject to the effect of applicable Law: (i) at the time of the surrender of any such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, there shall be paid to the surrendering holder, without interest, the amount of dividends or other distributions declared by the Parent Board (having a record date after the Effective Time but on or prior to surrender and a payment date on or prior to surrender) not theretofore paid with respect to the number of whole or fractional Parent ADSs (in the case of fractional Parent ADSs, in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) that such holder is entitled to receive and (ii) at the appropriate payment date and without duplicating any payment made under clause (i) above, there shall be paid to the surrendering holder, without interest, the amount of dividends or other distributions (having a record date after the Effective Time but on or prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender) payable with respect to the number of whole or fractional Parent ADSs (in the case of fractional Parent ADSs, in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) that such holder receives.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares evidencing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.

(e) Treatment of Fractional Parent ADSs. No American depositary receipt or scrip representing fractional Parent ADSs or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu of any fractional Parent ADSs to which a former holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares

delivered by or on behalf of such holder), such holder of shares of Company Common Stock surrendered in the manner described in this Section 2.2 shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying (i) the Fair Market Value of a Parent ADS by (ii) the fraction of a Parent ADS to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, in which case Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, in addition to any other cash being provided to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the amount of cash necessary to make such payments. The parties acknowledge that payment of cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional Parent ADSs represented thereby was not separately bargained for consideration but represents merely a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the problems that would otherwise be caused by the delivery of fractional Parent ADSs and Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest or other income received with respect thereto) made available to the Exchange Agent and not disbursed (or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent's routine administrative procedures) to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for Per Share Merger Consideration delivered to a Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If Certificates and Book-Entry Shares are not surrendered prior to the fifth (5 ^th ) anniversary of the Closing Date (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority), unclaimed Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such customary amount as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration with respect thereto.

2.3 Dissenting Shares .

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger and who has complied with Section 262 of the DGCL with respect thereto (the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its statutory right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a stockholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except those provided under Section 262 of the DGCL. A holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by him, her or it in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal, in which case such

shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal and attempted withdrawals of such demands and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations with holders of Dissenting Shares, and, except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal.

2.4 Company Compensatory Awards .

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or the appropriate committee of the Company Board) shall adopt such resolutions and shall take such other actions as are required to approve the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4. Prior to adopting any such resolutions, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such resolutions and shall consider any comments from Parent thereon in good faith.

(b) Each option (other than an option granted to a non-employee director of the Company or Baxter International, Inc. ("Baxter")) to acquire shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company's 2015 Incentive Plan (each such option, a "Company Option," and such plan, the "Company Equity Plan") that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and exchanged as of the Effective Time for an award of stock options ("Parent Options") exercisable in accordance with their terms for Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs (as determined by Parent). Each such award of Parent Options will have the same terms and conditions (including, with respect to vesting) as applied to the award of Company Options for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and changes to administrative or ministerial provisions as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of Parent Options with other awards under Parent's equity plans, and except as described below; provided that each award of Parent Options granted in exchange for an award of Company Options that was subject to vesting based on achievement of a per share price of Company Common Stock or any other performance-based vesting condition as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest solely based on the continued employment or other engagement by Parent or its subsidiaries of the grantee of the Company Options for which such award was exchanged through the end of the performance period or periods that applied to such Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to such accelerated vesting as would apply upon a qualifying termination of employment or other service with respect to such grantee following a change in control). The exercise price per Parent Ordinary Share or Parent ADS, as applicable, underlying each such award of Parent Options will be the "initial per-share exercise price" determined as prescribed in the following sentence, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "initial per-share exercise price" for any Parent Option shall be determined such that (i) equals (ii), where (i) is the ratio of (x) such initial per-share exercise price to (y) the Fair Market Value of a Parent Ordinary Share or Parent ADS, as applicable, and (ii) is the ratio of (X) the per-share exercise price of the Company Option for which it was exchanged, to (Y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Common Stock. The number of Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, underlying each award of Parent Options, determined as of the exchange, shall be that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, which, if such award were exercised in full immediately upon such exchange on a cashless basis (without regard to the extent to which such Parent Option is then vested or exercisable and without regard to Taxes), would result in the delivery of Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, with an aggregate value (assumed for this purpose to be equal on a per-share basis to the Fair Market Value of a Parent

Ordinary Share or Parent ADS, as applicable) as nearly as possible equal to, but not exceeding, the aggregate value of the shares of Company Common Stock (assumed for this purpose to be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Common Stock) that would have been delivered had the Company Option for which such award was exchanged been exercised in full as of immediately prior to the Effective Time on a cashless basis (without regard to the extent to which such Company Option was then vested or exercisable and without regard to Taxes). The foregoing adjustment will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the substitution contemplated by this Section 2.4(b) to be made in a manner consistent with exemption from Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock granted to a non-employee director of the Company or Baxter (a "Non-Employee Director Option") under the Company Equity Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and for which the (i) Per Share Cash Consideration, plus (ii) the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration (determined based on the Fair Market Value of a Parent ADS) (the sum of (i) plus (ii), the "Gross Settlement Amount") exceeds the exercise price of such Non-Employee Director Option shall be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and, in consideration of such cancellation, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the Effective Time, a payment of cash and Parent ADSs in respect of such cancellation from the Company in an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration (and which amount shall be divided between cash and Parent ADSs in the same proportion as the Per Share Merger Consideration) that he or she would have received had he or she exercised such Non-Employee Director Option in full (without regard to the extent to which the Non-Employee Director Option was vested or exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) on a cashless basis immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming for this purpose that the value of a share of Company Common Stock as of the time of such deemed cashless exercise was equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Common Stock). Each Company Option for which, as of the Effective Time, the Gross Settlement Amount does not exceed the exercise price of such Company Option shall be cancelled without any consideration being paid in respect thereof.

(d) Each award of restricted stock units (other than an award of restricted stock units granted to a non-employee director of the Company or Baxter) granted under the Company Equity Plan (a "Company Restricted Stock Unit") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and exchanged as of the Effective Time for an award of restricted stock units payable in Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as determined by Parent ("Parent Restricted Stock Units"). Each such award of Parent Restricted Stock Units will have the same terms and conditions (including, with respect to vesting) as applied to the award of Company Restricted Stock Units for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of Parent Restricted Stock Units with other awards under Parent's equity plans, and except as provided in the following sentence. The number of Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, underlying the Parent Restricted Stock Units subject to each such award shall be that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, that is equal to the "initial share number" determined as prescribed in the following sentence, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "initial share number" shall be equal to (i)(x) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Common Stock, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the award for which such Parent Restricted Stock Units were exchanged, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Parent Ordinary Share or Parent ADS, as applicable.

(e) Each award of restricted stock units granted under the Company Equity Plan to a non-employee director of the Company or Baxter (a "Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Unit") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, without regard to the extent then vested, shall be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and, in consideration of such cancellation, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying his or her award of Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Units.

(f) Each award of performance stock units granted under the Company Equity Plan (a "Company Performance Stock Unit") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and exchanged as of the Effective Time for an award of Parent Restricted Stock Units. The number of Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, underlying the Parent Restricted Stock Units subject to each such award shall be that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable, that is equal to the "initial share number" determined as prescribed in the following sentence, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs, as applicable. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "initial share number" shall be equal to (i) (x) Fair Market Value of a share of Company Common Stock, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the award (assuming that each of the performance goals with respect thereto has been achieved at the greater of (A) 100% of the target level and (B) actual performance levels measured as of the Effective Time and extrapolated through the end of the applicable performance period) for which such Parent Restricted Stock Units were exchanged, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Parent Ordinary Share or Parent ADS. Subject to the foregoing, each such award of Parent Restricted Stock Units will have the same terms and conditions as applied to the award of Company Performance Stock Units for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and except for administrative and ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of Parent Restricted Stock Units with other awards under Parent's equity plans; provided, that an award of Parent Restricted Stock Units will vest solely based on the continued employment or other engagement by Parent or its subsidiaries of the grantee of the Company Performance Stock Units for which such award was exchanged through the end of the performance period or periods that applied to such Company Performance Stock Units as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to such accelerated vesting as would apply upon a qualifying termination of employment or other service with respect to such grantee following a change in control).

(g) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) amend the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") effective immediately such that no additional Offering (as defined in the ESPP) shall be commenced between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, (ii) provide that each Offering that would otherwise extend beyond the Effective Time will have an Offering End Date (as defined in the ESPP) that is seven (7) business days prior to the anticipated Effective Time, (iii) provide that each ESPP participant's accumulated contributions under the ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the ESPP, (iv) provide that the applicable purchase price for shares of Company Common Stock (as a percentage of the fair market value of Company Common Stock) shall not be decreased below the levels set forth in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement, (v) provide that no participant in the ESPP may increase his or her rate of payroll deductions used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under the ESPP after the date of this Agreement, (vi) provide that only participants in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may continue to participate in the ESPP after the date of this Agreement and (vii) provide that the ESPP shall

terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter.

(h) As of the Effective Time, the Company Equity Plan and ESPP shall terminate and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be cancelled without consideration payable therefor, except to the extent provided in this Section 2.4.

2.5 Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person with respect to which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.6 Associated Rights. References in this Agreement to Company Common Stock shall include, unless the context requires otherwise, the associated rights (the "Company Rights") distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Company Rights Agreement.

The Company shall establish a record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting and Parent shall establish a record for the Parent Stockholders Meeting (which shall be the same date as the record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting) and each of the Company and Parent shall commence a broker search in connection therewith, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to holders of the Company Common Stock as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act (and in any event within twelve (12) days of the date the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC).

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of each party in this Section 6.1(a) shall include: provision by such party of (x) all such information about itself, its directors and its affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the other party for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or Form S-4 and (y) reasonable access to, and using commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable assistance from, the other party's representatives in connection therewith. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, or correspondence to the SEC or its staff with respect to, the Form S-4, shall be made by Parent, or with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall be made by the Company, or in either case any of their respective subsidiaries, without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Parent shall advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent ADSs issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Form S-4 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.

(b) Parent shall prepare and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the initial filing of the Form S-4, file with the UKLA a draft copy of the Parent Stockholder Circular and the Parent UK Prospectus, provided that, in each case, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Parent Stockholder Circular and the Parent UK Prospectus before it is filed with the UKLA. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, and the Company will reasonably cooperate with Parent in such efforts (including by providing all information reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation of the Parent Stockholder Circular and the Parent UK Prospectus) to have the Parent UK Prospectus approved by the UKLA as promptly as practicable after such filing. For the avoidance of doubt, the

obligations of the Company in this Section 6.1(b) shall include: provision by the Company of (x) all such information about itself, its directors and its affiliates as may be reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Parent UK Prospectus or the Parent Stockholder Circular and (y) reasonable access to, and using commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable assistance from, the Company Representatives in connection therewith.

Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to promptly provide satisfactory responses to the UKLA with respect to all comments received on the Parent Stockholder Circular and the Parent UK Prospectus. If at any time prior to receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval there shall occur any event that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Parent Stockholder Circular, Parent shall promptly prepare and mail to the Parent Stockholders such an amendment or supplement. As promptly as practicable after the Parent Stockholder Circular is approved by the UKLA and, in any event, no later than the time that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to holders of Company Common Stock, Parent shall cause the Parent Stockholder Circular to be mailed or delivered or otherwise made available to the Parent Stockholders. Unless a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred, the Parent Stockholder Circular shall contain the recommendation of the Parent Board in favor of the Merger, as required by the UK Listing Rules for class 1 transactions, and the issuance of the Parent Ordinary Shares in connection with the Merger. As promptly as practicable after the Parent UK Prospectus is approved by the UKLA and, in any event, no later than the time that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is provided to the Company's stockholders, Parent shall cause the Parent UK Prospectus to be mailed or delivered or otherwise made available to the record stockholders of the Company other than those resident in any Restricted Jurisdiction (such term having the meaning given in the Parent UK Prospectus), and Parent shall publish it in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Parent shall promptly advise the Company upon becoming aware of the time when the Parent UK Prospectus has been approved by the UKLA or any supplementary prospectus has been filed.

(d) No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, or correspondence to the SEC or its staff with respect to, any filing with the SEC to be made in accordance Section 5 of the Tri-Party Agreement, shall be made by the Company or its subsidiaries, without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. The Company shall advise Parent promptly after it receives notice of the time when any such filing has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order or any request by the SEC for amendment of the a filing or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. If at any time prior to the Effective Time the Company discovers that any information, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any such filings, so that any of such filings would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC, after Parent has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

6.2 Meetings of Stockholders.

(a) The Company shall, following the date on which the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "Company Stockholders Meeting") for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval and, unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit adoption of this Agreement. The Company shall, after consultation with Parent, schedule the Company Stockholders Meeting to occur on or about the forty-fifth (45 ^th ) day following the initial mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; provided that if the standstill period described in Section 7 of the Tri-Party Agreement will not have expired prior to such date, the Company will schedule the Company Stockholders Meeting to occur as soon as practicable following the expected conclusion of such standstill period; provided, further, however, that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the stockholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting, (iii) if there are not sufficient affirmative votes in person or by proxy at such meeting to constitute a quorum or to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, to allow additional time for solicitation of proxies for purposes of obtaining a quorum or the Parent Stockholder Approval, as applicable, (iv) as may be required by applicable Law, (v) to the extent necessary to ensure that the Company Stockholders Meeting shall occur at the same time as the Parent Stockholders Meeting or (vi) to comply with the standstill period described in Section 7 of the Tri-Party Agreement.

(b) Parent shall, following the date on which the Parent Stockholder Circular is approved by UKLA, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a general meeting of the Parent Stockholders (the "Parent Stockholders Meeting") for the purpose of seeking the Parent Stockholder Approval and, unless the Parent Board shall have effected a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit approval of the Merger, as required by the UK Listing Rules for class 1 transactions, and the issuance and delivery of Parent Ordinary Shares as provided in Section 2.

Immediately following the date of this Agreement, Parent shall provide or make available to the Company a copy of Parent's approval of this Agreement as the sole stockholder of Sub.

6.3 Access to Information. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall be entitled, through their respective employees and representatives, including the Company Representatives and Parent Representatives, respectively, to have such access to the assets, properties, books, records, Contracts, business and operations of the other party as is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with its investigation of the other party with respect to the transactions

contemplated hereby and the execution, performance or consummation (including integration planning) of such transactions in the case of Parent, and in furtherance of the Company Board's continuing fiduciary duties, in the case of the Company. Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted at reasonable times during business hours upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances so as to minimize disruption to or impairment of the other party's business and each of the Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate therein. No investigation by Parent or the Company (whether conducted prior to or after the date of this Agreement) shall diminish or obviate any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company or Parent contained in this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent shall provide the other party's representatives during such period with the opportunity to review all such information and such documents concerning the affairs of the Company or Parent, as applicable, as such other party's representatives may reasonably request in furtherance of the purposes set forth above and cause its officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants and attorneys to cooperate fully with such other party's representatives in connection with such investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the disclosing party shall not be required to permit such access or make such disclosure if such access or disclosure would reasonably be likely to (i) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a third party; provided, that the disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to render the prohibitions under such confidentiality agreement or other Contract inapplicable, (ii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege, or (iii) violate any applicable Law (including Antitrust Laws). Any information and documents provided pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.4 Public Disclosure. So long as this Agreement is in effect, neither Parent, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, will disseminate any press release or other public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as may be required by Law or the rules of any listing authority (including the UKLA), the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers or any securities exchange, without the prior consent of each of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The parties have agreed to the text of the joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without prior consent of the other parties, each party (a) may communicate information that is not confidential information of any other party to financial analysts, investors and media representatives in a manner consistent with its past practice in compliance with applicable Law and (b) may disseminate the information included in a press release or other document previously approved for external distribution by the other parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no party will be required to consult with the other party in connection with any such press release or public announcement if (A) the Company Board has effected any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or shall have resolved to do so or (B) the Parent Board has effected a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or shall have resolved to do so and (ii) the requirements of this Section 6.4 shall not apply to any disclosure by the Company or Parent of any information concerning this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby in connection with a determination by (A) the Company in accordance with Section 5.4(b) that a Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or may constitute, a Company Superior Proposal, (B) Parent in accordance with Section 5.5(b) that a Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or may constitute, a Parent Superior Proposal, or (C) any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.5 Regulatory Filings; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including by using its reasonable best efforts to

satisfy the terms of the Tri-Party Agreement (including using reasonable best efforts to deliver a representation letter described in Section 2(b) or 2(c), as applicable, of the Tri-Party Agreement)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and the Company each agree to (i) file a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act within fifteen (15) days of the date of this Agreement and to make any filings required by, or desirable under, applicable foreign Antitrust Laws with respect to the Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (and Parent may "pull and refile" any such form or filing, with the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if in its reasonable good faith judgment such step is consistent with expeditiously obtaining a required approval), and (ii) to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material required pursuant to the HSR Act or any foreign Antitrust Law. Parent and the Company may agree to postpone any filings required under this Section 6.5(a) based on input from counsel.

(b) Parent and the Company will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other in advance (to the extent legally permissible), any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the Antitrust Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto agree (i) to give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws, (ii) to give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, (iii) to the extent practicable, to give each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws, (iv) if any Governmental Authority initiates a substantive oral communication regarding any Antitrust Laws, to promptly notify the other party of the substance of such communication, (v) to provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals) with a Governmental Authority regarding any Antitrust Laws and (vi) to provide each other with copies of all written communications from any Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws. Any such disclosures or provision of copies by one party to the other may be made on an outside counsel basis if appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall, following consultation with the Company and after giving due consideration to its views and acting reasonably and in good faith, direct and control all aspects of the parties' efforts to gain regulatory clearance either before any Governmental Authority or in any action brought to enjoin the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any Antitrust Laws including any divestiture activities.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and subject to the prior good faith cooperation of the Company and its subsidiaries, Parent will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries and affiliates to, take any and all actions necessary to obtain any consents, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with the Antitrust Laws to enable all waiting periods under applicable Antitrust Laws to expire, and to avoid or eliminate impediments under applicable Antitrust Laws asserted by any Governmental Authority, in each case, to cause the Merger to occur prior to the Termination Date, including but not limited to (i) promptly complying with or modifying any requests for additional information (including any second request) by any Governmental Authority or (ii) contesting, defending and appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would prevent the Closing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not be required to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of, hold separate, enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of, hold separate, enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or restrict the ownership or

operation of, any assets or businesses of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or of Parent or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries except (i) Parent shall be required to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of or hold separate assets with an aggregate fair market value of no greater than $740 million and (ii) Parent shall be required to enter into license or similar agreements where the present value of the licensing fees are no greater than $740 million; provided that the sum of any assets divested, disposed of or held separately and the present value of any licensing fees to be received pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, shall in no event exceed $740 million; provided further that, in connection with any divestiture or licensing arrangement required pursuant to this Section 6.5(c), the Company will provide all cooperation reasonably requested to assist Parent in fulfilling Parent's obligations (in each case at Parent's sole expense), including (A) making available its management team for meetings with prospective acquirers regarding the assets proposed to be divested, (B) assisting Parent in its preparation of marketing materials and (C) otherwise assisting Parent in facilitating the transaction, in each case where any such transaction would be contingent upon the occurrence of the Effective Time.

(d) Each party will bear its own expenses and costs incurred by such party in connection with any filings and submissions pursuant to Antitrust Laws.

(e) In the event that any administrative or judicial Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority challenging the Merger, each of Parent, Sub and the Company will cooperate in all respects with each other and will use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger; provided that Parent, in its sole discretion, may determine to settle such challenge to permit the Merger to be consummated provided that the terms of such settlement do not prevent or unreasonably delay consummation of the Merger and do not include the payment of any amounts by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any operational or other restrictions on the Company or any of its subsidiaries until the Effective Time.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, approvals or waivers of third parties with respect to any Contracts to which it is a party as may be necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or required by the terms of any Contract as a result of the execution, performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and which are requested in writing to be sought by the other party; provided, that in no event will the Company or its subsidiaries be required to pay, prior to the Effective Time, any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required with respect to any such Contract, unless Parent provides such amounts to the Company in advance.

(g) Neither Parent nor the Company shall, and each of Parent and the Company shall cause their respective subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any person, whether by merger, consolidation, purchasing the assets of or equity in any person or by any other manner if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase or other transaction would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering, or materially increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.5(g) shall not modify Parent's rights under Section 6.17.

6.6 Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall give prompt (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notice to the other parties of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence, or impending occurrence or non-occurrence, of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause a condition set forth in Section 7 not to be satisfied and (b) the receipt of any notice or other communication from a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in each case to the extent such other party is not aware of such matter; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement or the remedies available to the party receiving such notification.

6.7 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall notify Parent in writing as promptly as practicable after it has received written notice of any Actions instituted against the Company or any of its directors or officers by any stockholder of the Company relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (any such Action, "Stockholder Litigation"), before any court or Governmental Authority. Parent shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of any Stockholder Litigation, the Company shall consult with Parent regarding the defense of any Stockholder Litigation, and the Company may not settle or compromise any Stockholder Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.8 Resignations. Prior to the Effective Time, upon Parent's request, the Company shall cause any director of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company to execute and deliver a letter effectuating his or her resignation as a director of such entity effective as of the Effective Time.

6.9 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or similar governing documents of the Company and its subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time which provide for exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and each individual who is serving or has served at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another person (each person entitled to indemnification under such governing documents, an "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matters (including any matters in connection with the last sentence of Section 6.16) existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause any such provisions not to be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party.

(b) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (including as it may be amended after the date of this Agreement to increase the extent to which a corporation may provide indemnification), indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any actual or threatened Action or investigation in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including any matters in connection with the last sentence of Section 6.16) (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or in a fiduciary capacity with respect to, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any resulting claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, judgments, settlements and reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and other costs, arising therefrom. The Surviving

Corporation shall promptly advance any reasonable expenses as incurred by any such Indemnified Party in connection with any such Action; provided, that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with each Indemnified Party in the defense of any Action.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to), in each case following reasonable consultation with the Company, obtain and fully pay the premium for "tail" directors' and officers' liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case providing coverage for claims asserted prior to and for six years after the Effective Time with respect to any matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and, with respect to claims made prior to or during such period, until final resolution thereof), from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company's insurance carrier as of the date of this Agreement, with levels of coverage, terms and conditions that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as the Company's directors' and officers' liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for any year of such six (6) year period an amount in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance policies (the "Maximum Premium"); provided, further, that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation would be obligated to expend more than the Maximum Premium in respect of such "tail" insurance policies, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained such policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium. If the parties for any reason fail to obtain such "tail" insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time the Company's directors' and officers' liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an amount for any year of such six year period an amount in excess of the Maximum Premium for such policies; provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium.

(d) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume or succeed to all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.9 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights any such Indemnified Party may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification or other agreement or arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. All rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents of the Company and its subsidiaries or in any agreement or in any agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party shall survive the Merger in full force and effect and be assumed by the Surviving Corporation and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the Merger and are expressly intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, each of whom is a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.9. Parent shall pay all reasonable out of pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.9 if it is ultimately determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification.

6.10 Stock Exchange De-Listing and Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and the rules and policies of the NYSE to cause the delisting of the Company Common Stock from the NYSE as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than two (2) days after the Closing Date, and deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting. The Company shall not cause the Company Common Stock to be delisted from the NYSE prior to the Effective Time. If the Surviving Corporation is required to file any quarterly or annual report by a filing deadline that is imposed by the Exchange Act and which falls on a date within the ten (10) days following the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing a substantially final draft of any such annual or quarterly report reasonably likely to be required to be filed during such period.

6.11 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause (a) the Parent ADSs to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time and (b) the admission of the Parent Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with the Merger (i) to the Official List maintained by the UKLA with a premium listing and (ii) for trading on the main market of the LSE.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required and permitted to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such Company Common Stock) by each director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.13 Company's Auditors.

To the extent required by applicable Law, each of the Proposed Parent Directors shall accept responsibility for all of the information contained in the Parent UK Prospectus and consent to the inclusion of a statement to that effect in the Parent UK Prospectus; provided, that each Proposed Parent Director shall be entitled to fully participate in, and have the full benefit of, the due diligence and verification to be undertaken by Parent with respect to the Parent UK Prospectus at Parent's sole expense.

(b) the Company agrees that Parent and its subsidiaries may enter into any amendment to, or grant any waiver under, the Pending Parent Transaction Agreement; provided that such amendment or waiver (or any other action permitted by Section 6.17(a)) does not (i) materially increase, change the payment date of, or alter the form of consideration comprising, the purchase price thereunder, (ii) materially expand or extend any continuing obligation of, or impose any additional material obligation on, Parent or any of its affiliates under the Pending Parent Transaction Agreement, following the Pending Parent Transaction Closing or (iii) impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.

or make any payment or otherwise incur any liability relating to any such registration statement and / or financing to the extent Parent does not have any reimbursement or indemnity obligation to the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.18. Parent shall promptly, upon the written request of the Company (i) reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including all reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and other advisors) incurred by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with providing assistance pursuant to this Section 6.18 and (ii) indemnify the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees or representatives for any damages, losses, costs, liabilities or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with taking actions requested by the Parent, pursuant to, or otherwise in connection with this Section 6.18. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent acknowledges that the receipt of financing pursuant to this Section 6.18 is not a condition to Parent's or Sub's obligation to consummate the Merger.

6.19 Company Notes. From the date of this Agreement, at Parent's written request and at Parent's sole expense, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) effect the repurchase or redemption of the Company Notes from the holders thereof at or after the Effective Time, including the delivery of any and all notices required by the terms of the Indenture in connection with such repurchase or redemption, and/or (b) solicit consents from the holders of the Company Notes regarding any amendment, conditioned upon the Closing and effective as of the Effective Time, of certain covenants in the Indenture.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (or the Chairman of the Board in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors).

Section 2.02. Annual Meetings. Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (the "DGCL"), an annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the year 2017, shall be held for the election of directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Stockholders may, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.

Section 2.03. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board and shall be called by the Secretary at the request in writing of holders of record of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

Section 2.04. Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice. (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for

B-1

which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by the DGCL, such notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Unless these bylaws otherwise require, when a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is present), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(b) A written waiver of any such notice signed by the person entitled thereto, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 2.05. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided under the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation held by such stockholder.

Unless otherwise provided in the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation present, in person or by written proxy, at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

(b) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or by his attorney thereunto authorized, or by proxy sent by any means of electronic communication permitted by law, which results in a writing from such stockholder or by his attorney, and delivered to the secretary of the meeting. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period.

(c) Votes may be cast by any stockholder entitled to vote in person or by proxy. In determining the number of votes cast for or against a proposal or nominee, shares abstaining from voting on a matter (including elections) will not be treated as a vote cast.

Section 2.07. Action by Consent. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation and subject to the proviso in Section 2.02, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or

B-2

consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum 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 and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in Section 2.07(b).

(b) Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this section and the DGCL to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

ARTICLE 5
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 5.01. Power to Indemnify in Actions not by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 5.03 of this Article 5, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party 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), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or in a fiduciary capacity with respect to, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.

Section 5.02. Power to Indemnify in Actions By or in the Right of the Corporation . Subject to Section 5.03 of this Article 5, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation

B-6

serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or in a fiduciary capacity with respect to, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 5.03. Authorization of Indemnification . Any indemnification under this Article 5 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 of this Article 5, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director, officer or employee at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (b) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) by the shareholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to present or former employees or former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director, officer or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 5.04. Good Faith Defined . For purposes of any determination under Section 5.03 of this Article 5, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful, if such person's action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 5.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 of this Article 5, as the case may be.

Section 5.05. Indemnification by a Court . Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.03 of this Article 5, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director, officer or employee may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 of this Article 5. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 of this Article 5, as the case may be. Neither a

B-7

contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.03 of this Article 5 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director, officer or employee seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director, officer or employee seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

Section 5.06. Expenses Payable in Advance . Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a current or former director or officer or employee entitled to indemnification under this Article 5 in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such current or former director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 5. Such expenses may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

Section 5.07. Non-exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 5 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 of this Article 5 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article 5 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 of this Article 5 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of any provision in this Article 5 shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of any person hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

Section 5.08. Severability . If any provision or provisions of this Article 5 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article 5 (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article 5 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article 5 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article 5 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision or provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 5.09. Survival . The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article 5 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives of such a person.

Section 5.10. Certain Definitions . For purposes of this Article 5, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation or is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent

B-8

corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or in a fiduciary capacity with respect to, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article 5 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The term "another enterprise" as used in this Article 5 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent. For purposes of this Article 5, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or fiduciary with respect to, another enterprise which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article 5.

ARTICLE 6
CAPITAL STOCK

Section 6.01. Certificates For Stock; Uncertificated Shares. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of shares represented by certificates of the same class and series shall be identical. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an assistant Secretary of such Corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. A Corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.

Section 6.02. Transfer of Shares. Shares of the stock of the Corporation may be transferred on the record of stockholders of the Corporation by the holder thereof or by such holder's duly authorized attorney upon surrender of a certificate therefor properly endorsed or upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of uncertificated shares or by such holder's duly authorized attorney and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form, unless waived by the Corporation.

Section 6.03. Authority for Additional Rules Regarding Transfer. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificated or uncertificated shares of the stock of the Corporation, as well as for the issuance of new certificates in lieu of those which may be lost or destroyed, and may require of any stockholder requesting replacement of lost or destroyed certificates, bond in such amount and in such form as they may deem expedient to indemnify the Corporation, and/or the transfer agents, and/or the registrars of its stock against any claims arising in connection therewith.

opinion substantially the same in form and substance as the opinion referenced in clause (ii)(A) above (the "Baxter Closing Opinion"). In each case, such opinion may rely on the applicable Representation Letters. Neither Baxalta nor Parent shall (in writing or otherwise) publicly refer to or describe non-public information regarding the Baxter Signing Opinion or the Baxter Closing Opinion without the prior written consent of KPMG LLP or Baxter, except that the parties may disclose this Letter Agreement and describe its terms in any Form 8-K, registration statement, proxy statement or circular relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger.

Upon Baxter's reasonable request, Baxalta (or, after the Merger Closing, Parent) shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any person who is at the time of such request an executive officer of such party and who was an executive officer of Baxter prior to the initial distribution of Baxalta Common Stock on July 1, 2015 to assist Baxter in confirming such facts as are within the knowledge of such executive officer. Each party shall make any such requests for cooperation with reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances so as to minimize any disruption to or impairment of the applicable party's business.

(i) Baxter acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.02(c) of the Tax Matters Agreement has been waived with respect to the execution of the Merger Agreement.

3. Indemnification and Guarantee.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Tax Matters Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Distribution Agreement to the contrary,

(i) Baxalta agrees that from and after the Merger Closing, subject to Section 3(b) hereof and clause (ii) below, Baxalta shall indemnify and hold harmless Baxter and each of its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses attributable to or resulting from (in whole or in part) the Merger; and

(ii) Baxalta shall not be obligated to indemnify Baxter for any Tax-Related Losses attributable to or resulting from (in whole or in part) any disposition of Baxalta Common Stock by Baxter (including through Debt-for Equity Exchanges and Subsequent Distributions) other than:

(A) the initial distribution of Baxalta Common Stock on July 1, 2015;

(B) the transactions described in Section 4 (which for the avoidance of doubt include one or more Debt-for-Equity Exchanges, one or more Exchange Offers, one or more contributions of Retained Shares to Baxter's U.S. pension fund and any dividend of

Retained Shares to Baxter's shareholders) that in each case conclude prior to any Parent or Baxalta shareholder vote with respect to the Merger; or

(C) the conversion at the Merger Closing of any Retained Shares held by Baxter into the right to receive Parent American Depositary Shares and cash (it being understood that any Taxes imposed on Baxter with respect to the receipt of Parent American Depositary Shares and cash upon the Merger Closing do not constitute Tax Related Losses subject to indemnification under Section 3(a)(i)).

Parent also agrees that, from and after the Merger Closing, Parent will guarantee the payment and performance by Baxalta of its obligations and agreements under this Letter Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Distribution Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Distribution Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Tax Matters Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Distribution Agreement, or this Letter Agreement to the contrary, if Baxter intentionally misrepresents any fact in either the Baxter Signing Representation Letters or the Baxter Closing Representation Letters, the indemnification obligation of Baxalta under Section 3(a) hereof and the indemnification obligation of Baxalta under Section 4.05 of the Tax Matters Agreement shall not apply to the extent any Tax-Related Losses are attributable to or resulting from any such intentional misrepresentations.

(c) From and after the Merger Closing, Parent shall be afforded the same rights and have the same obligations as Baxalta under Section 3.04 of the Tax Matters Agreement.

4. Retained Shares Transactions. Each of Parent and Baxalta understands and acknowledges that Baxter (a) intends to effectuate (or cause to be effectuated) two Debt-for-Equity Exchanges (and related Underwritten Offerings (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), one Exchange Offer and a contribution of Retained Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to Baxter's U.S. pension fund, and (b) may potentially effectuate a dividend of Retained Shares to Baxter's shareholders, in each case, in connection with the offer, sale, exchange, placement, transfer, distribution or other disposition of Baxter's 131,902,719 Retained Shares by Baxter or the then holders of such shares (each such Debt-for-Equity Exchange and Exchange Offer (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any U.S. pension fund contribution or any dividend of Retained Shares to Baxter's shareholders), a "Retained Shares Transaction"), in each case, prior to any Parent or Baxalta shareholder vote with respect to the Merger. Baxter shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete all Retained Shares Transactions prior to any Parent or Baxalta shareholder vote with respect to the Merger.

5. Cooperation and Support of Parent and Baxalta.

(a) Parent shall cooperate with and support Baxter and Baxalta to enable Baxalta to comply with the terms of, and fulfill Baxalta's obligations under, the Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, Baxalta's obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file Registration Statements (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on an appropriate form with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") as expeditiously as possible upon receipt of a Demand Registration (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), it being acknowledged and agreed that Baxter delivered notice of a Demand Registration on August 10, 2015 and, as of the date hereof, no Retained Shares have been registered or sold in connection therewith.

6. Marketing Periods. For each Underwritten Offering or Exchange Offer in connection with a Retained Shares Transaction, Baxter, the underwriter(s) or dealer manager(s), as applicable, and the applicable selling shareholders shall be afforded a period of time (each, a "Marketing Period") to publicly offer, sell, exchange, place, transfer or otherwise dispose of Retained Shares in connection with which the following conditions (the "Marketing Period Conditions") shall have been satisfied:

(a) all of the Baxalta Marketing Period Deliverables and, to the extent required, the Parent Marketing Period Deliverables, in each case, that have been requested with reasonable advance notice have been completed and/or delivered, as applicable, prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period as set forth in Section 5(e) hereof and to the extent applicable, executed prior to or during (as applicable) the Marketing Period;

(b) the applicable Registration Statement has been, or could be (without an amendment thereto, as applicable), declared effective under the Securities Act ("SEC Clearance") prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period (with the exception of a Marketing Period with respect to an Exchange Offer, with respect to which the Registration Statement must have been declared effective prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer), and if declared effective, such Registration Statement continues to be effective for the remainder of the Marketing Period;

(d) each of Parent and Baxalta has complied with Section 8 hereof, with respect to any Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange, and no Restricted Period (as defined below) relating to a prior Debt-for-Equity Exchange, if any, shall be in effect;

(e) in the case of an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange in connection with which a tender offer is not being made for outstanding notes of Baxter, such period continues for at least four consecutive Business Days;

If a lead managing underwriter(s) or dealer manager(s), as applicable, in consultation with Baxter, Parent and Baxalta, reasonably determines that the occurrence of any calamity or crisis or change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere has caused a market disruption such that the public offer, sale, exchange or placement, as applicable, of Retained Shares at such time is impracticable or inadvisable, the respective periods described in clauses (e), (f) and (g) above shall be tolled during such period.

In addition, each of Parent and Baxalta shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause one Marketing Period with respect to a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not involving a tender offer to be completed in full by no later than February 8, 2016; provided, that, if such Marketing Period is not completed in full by February 8, 2016, then each of Parent and Baxalta shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Marketing Period to be completed in full by no later than March 23, 2016, provided that no Pro Forma Financial Information is required or requested in connection therewith. In addition, Parent and Baxalta shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause one Marketing Period with respect to all of the Marketing Period Conditions to be separately satisfied with respect to two Debt-for-Equity Exchanges (whether only one Registration Statement is filed in connection therewith or otherwise) and one Exchange Offer prior to the Early Outside Date (as defined below) or the Outside Date (as defined below), as applicable.

The parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause one Marketing Period for a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not involving a tender offer to be completed prior to February 8, 2016. If one Debt-for-Equity Exchange Marketing Period is completed prior to February 8, 2016, (a) Baxter shall demand that a Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange be filed by no later than as promptly as practicable after the Second PFFI Deadline, (b) the parties purchasing notes in the related tender offer shall use their reasonable best efforts to commence such tender offer for outstanding notes of Baxter by no later than the Second PFFI Deadline and (c) each party shall use reasonable best efforts to cause SEC Clearance for such Registration Statement to occur prior to or as promptly as practicable after the date that is 14 calendar days after the early settlement date for such tender offer, which early settlement date shall occur no later than 13 Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer.

If one Debt-for-Equity Exchange Marketing Period is not completed prior to February 8, 2016, (a) Baxter shall demand that an amended Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not involving a tender offer be filed as promptly as

practicable after the Second PFFI Deadline and (b) the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the associated Marketing Period to begin by no later than the date of SEC Clearance of the associated Registration Statement. Thereafter, (i) Baxter shall demand that another Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering in connection with a second Debt-for-Equity Exchange be filed by no later than as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to the preceding Debt-for-Equity Exchange (or, if the offering is not completed, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Marketing Period), (ii) the parties purchasing notes in the related tender offer for outstanding notes of Baxter shall use their reasonable best efforts to commence such tender offer by no later than as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to the preceding Debt-for-Equity Exchange and (iii) each party shall use reasonable best efforts to cause SEC Clearance for such Registration Statement to occur prior to or as promptly as practicable after the date that is 14 calendar days after the early settlement date for such tender offer, which early settlement date shall occur no later than 13 Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer.

Thereafter, (a) Baxter shall demand that a Registration Statement for an Exchange Offer be filed by no later than as promptly as practicable following fifteen calendar days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus with respect to the second Debt-for-Equity Exchange transaction (or, if the offering is not completed, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Marketing Period) and (b) the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to commence such Exchange Offer as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to the preceding Debt-for-Equity Exchange.

7. Standstill. Neither Baxalta nor Parent will conduct any shareholder vote with respect to, or consummate, the Merger (the "Standstill") until the earliest to occur of the following: (a) the date that all of the Marketing Period Conditions have been separately satisfied with respect to two Debt-for-Equity Exchanges (whether only one Registration Statement is filed in connection therewith or otherwise) and one Exchange Offer, (b) the date that Baxter has disposed of all its Retained Shares and (c) May 26, 2016, as such date may be extended as set forth below (the "Early Outside Date"), or, if one Marketing Period with respect to a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not involving a tender offer has not been completed in full by February 8, 2016 and Baxter has complied with its obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such completion, June 17, 2016, as such date may be extended as set forth below (the "Outside Date").

Each of the Early Outside Date and the Outside Date, as applicable, shall be extended (in the case of each clause below but without duplication) by the time periods indicated below:

(i) the number of days that the Baxalta 2015 10-K is filed with the SEC after the Baxalta 10-K Deadline;

(ii) the number of days that the Baxalta 2016 Q1 10-Q is filed with the SEC after the Baxalta Q1 10-Q Deadline;

(iii) the number of days that any requested or required (in accordance with Section 5(b)) Pro Forma Financial Information is delivered after the Second PFFI Deadline or the Third PFFI Deadline, as applicable, if Pro Forma Financial Information is required or requested to be included in any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof;

16. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Letter Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Letter Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Letter Agreement in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph, without proof of damages or otherwise (and each party hereto hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party hereto may be entitled at law or in equity.

COSTS OF UTILISATION

11. INTEREST

11.1 Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(A): Margin; and
(B): LIBOR.

11.2 Payment of interest

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six Monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

11.3 Default interest

(A)

If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (B) below, is one per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 11.3 ( Default interest ) shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(B)

If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i): the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and
(ii): the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be one per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(C)

Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

11.4 Notification of rates of interest

(i): the currency of a Loan; or
(ii): the Interest Period of a Loan and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate,

(B)

If this Clause 13.4 ( Cost of funds ) applies and the Agent or the Parent Company so requires, the Agent and the Parent Company shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(a)

the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a Lender that is a UK Qualifying Lender by virtue only of being a Treaty Lender with respect to the United Kingdom), but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant Tax authority; or

(c)

the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (a)(iii) of the definition of Qualifying Lender in Clause 15.1(A) and:

(1): the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the Obligor making the payment; and
(2): the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the Obligor making the payment, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled that Obligor to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an "excepted payment" for the purpose of Section 930 of the Income Tax Act 2007; or

(d)

the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender by virtue only of being a Treaty Lender with respect to the United Kingdom and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations, if any, under any of paragraphs (H) to (J) below; or

(ii)

by Ireland from a payment of interest on a Loan if, on the date on which the payment falls due:

(a): the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than a Lender that is an Irish Qualifying Lender by virtue only of being a Treaty Lender with respect to Ireland) but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in

(or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant Tax authority; or

(b): the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender with respect to Ireland (and not otherwise an Irish Qualifying Lender) and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations, if any, under paragraphs (H) or (K) below.

(H)

(i) Subject to sub-paragraph (H)(ii) below, a Treaty Lender and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing as soon as reasonably practicable any procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

(B)

Paragraph (A) above shall not apply:

(i)

with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

(a): under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for Tax purposes or as having a permanent establishment for Tax purposes through which it has negotiated or manages or administers its participation in any Facility; or
(b): under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if in either such case that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income, profit or gains received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party, permanent establishment or Facility Office; or

(ii)

to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(a): is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.2 ( Tax gross-up ) or a payment under Clause 15.5 ( Stamp Taxes ) or Clause 15.6 ( VAT );
(b): would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.2 ( Tax gross-up ) but was not so compensated for solely because any or all of the exclusions in paragraph (E) of Clause 15.2 ( Tax gross-up ) applied;
(c): would have been compensated for by a payment under Clause 15.5 ( Stamp Taxes ) or Clause 15.6 ( VAT ) but was not so compensated for solely because one of the exclusions in those Clauses applied;

(e): relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by any person.

(C): A Protected Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (A) above shall promptly notify the Agent of the loss, liability or cost which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall reasonably promptly notify the Parent Company.

(D): A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 15.3, notify the Agent.

15.4 Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

(A): a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to the circumstances giving rise to that Tax Payment; and
(B): that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained the benefit of that Tax Credit in whole or in part,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines (acting reasonably) will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

15.5 Stamp taxes

The Parent Company shall pay and, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration, excise and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document or the transaction occurring under any of them other than in respect of an assignment or transfer by a Lender.

15.6 VAT

(A)

All consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any amounts in respect of VAT. If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant Tax authority for the VAT, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT against delivery of an appropriate VAT invoice.

(B)

If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the " Supplier ") to any other Finance Party (the " Recipient ") under a Finance Document, and any other Party (the " Relevant Party ") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i): (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant Tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment that the Recipient receives from the relevant Tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
(ii): (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant Tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that the Recipient is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant Tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(C)

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that obligation shall be deemed to extend to all amounts in respect of VAT incurred

by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that the Finance Party is not entitled to credit or repayment of the amount in respect of the VAT from the relevant Tax authority.

(D): Any reference in this Clause 15.6 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).
(E): In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

15.7 FATCA Information

(A)

Subject to paragraph (C) below, each Party shall, within 10 Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(i)

confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(a): a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(ii)

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA; and

(iii)

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(B)

If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (A)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(C)

Paragraph (A) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (A)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i): any law or regulation;
(ii): any fiduciary duty; or
(iii): any duty of confidentiality.

(D)

If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (C) above applies), then such

Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

15.8 FATCA Deduction

(A): Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.
(B): Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, notify the Parent Company, the Agent and the other Finance Parties.

15.9 Survival of obligations

Without prejudice to the survival of any other section of this Agreement, the agreements and obligations of each Obligor and each Finance Party contained in this Clause 15 ( Tax gross-up and indemnities ) shall survive the payment in full by the Obligors of all obligations under this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9
CHANGES TO PARTIES

27. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

27.1 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 27 ( Changes to the Lenders ), a Lender (the " Existing Lender ") may:

(A): assign any of its rights; or
(B): transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations (provided any such transfer is pro rata to such Existing Lender's participations in outstanding Loans and Commitments),

only to another bank or financial institution (the " New Lender ").

27.2 Conditions of assignment or transfer

(A)

A transfer of part of a Commitment or the rights and obligations under this Agreement by an Existing Lender must be in a minimum amount of US$ 10,000,000.

(B)

The consent of the Parent Company is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless:

(i): the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, provided that, in the case of the assignment or transfer of any Available Commitment, such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender is an Acceptable Bank; or
(ii): at the time of the assignment or transfer, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(C)

(i) Subject to paragraph (B) above, the consent of the Parent Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be unreasonable for the Parent Company to withhold its consent in the event the proposed New Lender is not an Acceptable Bank.

(ii): Subject to paragraph (B) above, the Parent Company will be deemed to have given its consent 10 Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Parent Company within that time.

(D)

In the event an Existing Lender enters into an assignment or transfer without the consent of the Parent Company (if required pursuant to paragraph (B) above), such assignment or transfer shall be void and not be valid and effective towards the other Finance Parties and the Obligors.

(E)

An assignment will be effective only on:

(i): receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;
(ii): performance by the Agent of all "know your customer" or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender; and
(iii): entry by the New Lender into a Confidentiality Undertaking with the Parent Company.

(F)

A transfer will be effective only if the procedure set out in Clause 27.5 ( Procedure for transfer ) is complied with and if the New Lender has, prior to the Transfer Date, entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking with the Parent Company.

(G)

If:

(i)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment (or increased payment) to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15 ( Tax gross-up and indemnities ) or Clause 16 ( Increased Costs ),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is entitled to receive payment (or increased payment) under those Clauses only to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred, provided that this paragraph (G) shall not apply:

(y): in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of Syndication; or
(z): in relation to a payment which is required under Clause 15.2 ( Tax gross-up ), to a UK Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of Tax residence in accordance with paragraph (J) of Clause 15.2 ( Tax gross-up ) if the Obligor making the payment has not submitted a form DTTP2 to HM Revenue & Customs in respect of that UK Treaty Lender, unless the relevant payment falls due before (or less than 10 Business Days after) the Parent Company receives a copy of the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement entered into or Increase Confirmation given by that UK Treaty Lender pursuant to Clause 27.7 ( Copy of Assignment Agreement, Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation to Parent Company ).

(iii): the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(B)

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i): has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and
(ii): will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(C)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i): accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 27 ( Changes to the Lenders ); or
(ii): support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

27.5 Procedure for transfer

(C)

Subject to Clause 27.9 ( Pro rata interest settlement ), on the Transfer Date:

(i): to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the " Discharged Rights and Obligations ");
(ii): each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;
(iii): the Agent, the Arrangers, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and
(iv): the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

27.6 Procedure for assignment

(A)

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 ( Conditions of assignment or transfer ) an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (C) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

(i): the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(D)

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 27.6 ( Procedure for assignment ) to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 27.5 ( Procedure for transfer ), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 ( Conditions of assignment or transfer ).

27.7 Copy of Assignment Agreement, Transfer Certificate, Increase Confirmation to Parent Company

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed an Assignment Agreement, Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation, send to the Parent Company (for itself and on behalf of each Obligor) a copy thereof.

27.8 Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 27 ( Changes to the Lenders ), each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

(A): any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank or any government authority, department or agency, including HM Treasury; and
(B): in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

(i): release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or
(ii): require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

27.9 Pro rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders and the Parent Company that it is able to distribute interest payments on a pro rata basis to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 27.5 ( Procedure for transfer ) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 27.6 ( Procedure for assignment ) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(A)

any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (" Accrued Amounts ") and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

Due to the proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, the Parties understand and agree that the Discloser or its Affiliates may suffer irreparable harm in the event that the Recipient fails to comply with any of the obligations contained herein and that monetary damages alone may not be an adequate remedy to compensate the Discloser or its Affiliates for such breach. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the Discloser or any of its Affiliates, as appropriate, shall be entitled to seek the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the obligations contained in this Agreement.

6.5: The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in "portable document format" (".pdf") form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Exhibit 99.1

SHIRE TO COMBINE WITH BAXALTA, CREATING THE GLOBAL LEADER IN RARE DISEASES

Combination creates leading global biotechnology company projected to deliver double-digit top-line growth with over $20 billion in annual revenues by 2020

•: No. 1 platform in rare diseases expected to generate 65% of total annual revenues
•: Multiple, durable billion-dollar franchises, each with best-in-class products
•: Robust portfolio includes over 30 recent and planned product launches with $5 billion sales potential by 2020
•: Efficient structure expected to yield annual operating cost synergies of over $500 million, with additional revenue synergies and a combined non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16-17%
•: Accretion to non-GAAP diluted EPS anticipated in 2017, the first calendar year of ownership, and beyond
•: Attractive ROIC expected to exceed Shire's cost of capital in 2020
•: Wayne T. Hockmeyer, Baxalta's Chairman, expected to become Deputy Chairman, and two additional Directors to be included from the Baxalta Board

Dublin, Ireland and Bannockburn, Illinois—January 11, 2016 —Shire plc (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPG) and Baxalta Incorporated (NYSE: BXLT) today announced that the boards of directors of both companies have reached an agreement under which Shire will combine with Baxalta. Under the agreement, Baxalta shareholders will receive $18.00 in cash and 0.1482 Shire ADS per Baxalta share. Based on Shire's closing ADS price on January 8, 2016, this implies a total current value of $45.57 per Baxalta share, representing an aggregate consideration of approximately $32 billion. The exchange ratio was based on Shire's 30-day trading day volume weighted average ADS price of $199.03 as of January 8, 2016, which implies a total value of $47.50 per Baxalta share.

The value of the offer, as of Shire's January 8, 2016 closing ADS price, represents a premium of approximately 37.5% to Baxalta's unaffected share price on August 3, 2015, the day prior to the public announcement of Shire's initial offer for Baxalta. This will provide Baxalta shareholders with approximately 34% ownership in the combined company. The parties expect the transaction to close mid-2016.

Shire Chief Executive Officer Flemming Ornskov, M.D., M.P.H., commented:

"This proposed combination allows us to realize our vision of building the leading biotechnology company focused on rare diseases. Together, we will have leadership positions in multiple, high-value franchises and become the clear partner of choice in rare diseases. Our expanded portfolio and presence in more than 100 countries will drive our growth to over $20 billion in anticipated annual revenues by 2020. Our due diligence has reinforced our belief in the combination, and we look forward to welcoming Baxalta colleagues to a shared entrepreneurial, patient-driven culture."

Susan Kilsby, Chairman of Shire, commented:

"Together, Shire and Baxalta create a platform for sustainable innovation, growth and value creation. Shire is an experienced and disciplined acquirer with a track record of delivering shareholder value. Stakeholders of both companies are expected to benefit from the enhanced growth prospects, superior operational scale and efficiency and the strong financial and organizational profile of the combined entity."

Baxalta Chief Executive Officer Ludwig N. Hantson, Ph.D., commented:

"Today's announcement marks a new path forward for our organization and is a testament to the significant progress we have made in achieving our strategic business priorities. This transaction presents a unique opportunity for Baxalta shareholders, who will receive substantial immediate value as well as an ongoing stake in a combined global leader in rare diseases with strong growth prospects. We bring to Shire a strong portfolio and pipeline of market-leading products, high-quality manufacturing capabilities and a talented global workforce that places patients at the center of everything we do. The combined organization will be well positioned to accelerate innovation and deliver enhanced value for all stakeholders."

Wayne T. Hockmeyer, Ph.D., Chairman of Baxalta, commented:

"We launched Baxalta to focus on purpose-driven performance, sustainable growth, and continuing our leadership in developing treatments for orphan and underserved diseases. While we have made great progress to date and have had a measurable impact across all our businesses, I look forward to joining the board of the combined company to help ensure that we infuse the best of both organizations and foster a new shared culture that has the resources, the passion, and the commitment to continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and their families."

Baxter International Chairman and Chief Executive Officer José E. Almeida commented:

Shire will host a conference call for investors and analysts today, January 11, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. GMT / 8:30 a.m. EST / 5:30 a.m. PST. (Details below)

Combination Creates the Global Leader in Rare Diseases with a Sustainable Platform for Future Innovation, Growth and Value Creation

The combination of Baxalta and Shire will create the number one rare diseases platform in revenue and pipeline depth, with best-in-class products in each of the following growing, multi-billion-dollar franchises: Hematology; Immunology; Neuroscience; Lysosomal Storage Diseases; Gastrointestinal / Endocrine; and Hereditary Angioedema (HAE). The combined company will also possess a growing franchise in Oncology, with approved products and innovative compounds in development, as well as a robust late-stage Ophthalmics pipeline.

The combined portfolio will have an expanded range of therapeutic areas with more than 60 programs in development, including over 50 that will address rare diseases and the newly-approved Baxalta products ADYNOVATE, VONVENDI and OBIZUR. Shire anticipates more than 30 recent and planned product launches from the combined pipeline, contributing approximately $5 billion in annual revenues by 2020.

Further, the combined company will benefit from expanded geographic reach across more than 100 countries, with a high-quality commercial organization and world-class manufacturing operations.

Through a balanced portfolio and expanded therapeutic expertise and capabilities, the combination will enhance revenue diversification and optionality for the business, while strong cash flows will increase financial and operational scale. In total, the proposed combination will create a sustainable platform for future innovation and growth, yielding projected near- and long-term value for shareholders.

Leading Franchises, Each with Best-in-Class Products and a Foundation for Sustained Category Leadership in Rare Diseases

The portfolio will include over 20 leading brands and a robust pipeline of expected new product launches with complementary positions across growing multi-billion-dollar franchises:

Hematology

•: Baxalta has a well-established hematology portfolio based on its heritage and legacy of leadership in hemophilia. Baxalta offers a comprehensive portfolio of innovative therapeutics, including ADYNOVATE, Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), PEGylated, an extended circulating half-life recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) treatment for hemophilia A which was recently approved in the U.S., and is focused on introducing new treatments for hemophilia and other rare chronic bleeding disorders to further reduce patient burdens

Immunology

•: Baxalta is contributing the broadest portfolio of immunoglobulin (IG) products in the industry, most notably the recently launched HYQVIA, a next generation subcutaneous IG treatment for patients with primary immunodeficiency, as well as a pipeline of innovative products across a broad range of potential new indications

Neuroscience

•: Shire has over 20 years of experience in neuroscience with a strong, growing ADHD franchise and pipeline, including a new VYVANSE indication for adults with moderate-to-severe Binge Eating Disorder

Lysosomal Storage Diseases

•: Shire brings industry-leading capabilities in the development and commercialization of a wide range of therapies for multiple rare and devastating genetic diseases including: VPRIV for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for patients with type 1 Gaucher disease; ELAPRASE for patients with Hunter syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis II, MPS II); and REPLAGAL for long-term ERT in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease

Gastrointestinal / Endocrine

•: Shire's Gastrointestinal / Endocrine portfolio is built on the strength of its 5-ASA products, LIALDA, for the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, and PENTASA, for the treatment of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis, and recent additions of GATTEX/REVESTIVE, for adults with short bowel syndrome who are dependent on parenteral support, and NATPARA, as an adjunct to calcium and vitamin D to control hypocalcemia in patients with hypoparathyroidism

HAE

•: Shire brings HAE leadership through its currently approved prophylactic and acute therapies, CINRYZE and FIRAZYR, respectively, and—pending completion of the Dyax acquisition—a Phase 3, potentially transformative prophylactic therapy

Ophthalmics

•: Shire is focused on building franchise leadership in ophthalmology with the 2016 projected launch of Lifitegrast, contingent upon regulatory approval, for dry eye disease; SHP640 for infectious conjunctivitis entering Phase 3 trials in 2016, and SHP607 for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity, generating results from its Phase 2 trials which are expected in 2016

Oncology

•: Baxalta brings a growing oncology business and a broad platform that positions the combined company at the leading-edge of discovery and development of innovative therapies in hematological and other cancers. The portfolio includes ONCASPAR (pegaspargase), a marketed biologic treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia, and late-stage, partnered products such as pacritinib, an investigational oral kinase inhibitor for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis, and ONIVYDE (irinotecan liposome injection) for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer

Financial Highlights

Shire anticipates that it will realize more than $500 million in annual cost synergies (expected to be achieved within the first three years post-closing). These annual cost synergies will be achieved by increasing efficiencies, leveraging the scale of the combined business, aligning to Shire's lean operating model and optimizing the combined R&D portfolio. Further, Shire expects to generate additional revenue synergies and a combined non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16-17% by 2017. Growth is expected to be accelerated by combining capabilities and establishing a global infrastructure that will include a "best of both" commercial model and a presence in over 100 global markets.

The transaction is expected to be accretive to non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2017, the first calendar year of ownership, and beyond. The combined company is expected to generate annual operating cash flow of $6.0 billion beginning in 2018, underpinning an attractive ROIC that will exceed Shire's cost of capital in 2020.

Shire has conducted additional tax due diligence, and based on this diligence, Shire and its tax advisor have concluded that a merger with the proposed cash consideration of $18 per Baxalta share will maintain the tax-free status of the Baxalta spinoff from Baxter.

Shire has secured an $18 billion fully underwritten bank facility to finance the combination. The new bank facility has a one year life, with a one-year extension available at Shire's option. Shire intends to refinance the bank facility through capital market debt issuances in due course. The financing of the transaction has been structured with the intention of maintaining an investment grade credit rating for the combined entity. Shire is committed to de-levering rapidly post-close by deploying free cash flow to repay debt. Shire is targeting a net debt to EBITDA range of between 2.0x and 3.0x 12-18 months post-closing.

Transaction Details

Under the agreement, Baxalta shareholders will receive $18.00 in cash and 0.1482 Shire ADS per Baxalta share. Based on Shire's closing ADS price on January 8, 2016, this implies a total current value of $45.57 per Baxalta share, representing an aggregate consideration of approximately $32 billion. The exchange ratio was based on Shire's 30-day trading day volume weighted average ADS price of $199.03 as of January 8, 2016, which implies a total value of $47.50 per Baxalta share.

The value of the offer as of Shire's January 8, 2016 closing ADS price represents a premium of approximately 37.5% to Baxalta's unaffected share price on August 3, 2015, the day prior to the public announcement of Shire's initial offer for Baxalta. This will provide Baxalta shareholders with approximately 34% ownership in the combined company.

Closing

The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both Shire and Baxalta. Closing of the transaction is subject to approval by Baxalta and Shire shareholders, certain regulatory approvals, redelivery of tax opinions delivered at signing and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is a class 1 transaction for Shire for the purposes of the UK Listing Rules requiring the approval of Shire shareholders. A shareholder circular, together with notice of the relevant shareholder meeting, will be distributed to Shire shareholders in due course. The parties expect the transaction to close mid-2016.

Certain Information Regarding Participants

Trademarks

Shire owns or has rights to use the trademarks, service marks and trade names that it uses in conjunction with the operation of its business. Some of the trademarks that Shire owns or has the rights to use that are referenced in this communication include: ADDERALL XR, CINRYZE, ELAPRASE, FIRAZYR, GATTEX/REVESTIVE, INTUNIV, LIALDA, NATPARA, REPLAGAL,

PENTASA, VPRIV, VYVANSE and XAGRID. Baxalta states that it owns or has the right to use certain trademarks referenced in this communication, including: ADVATE, ADYNOVATE, ARALAST, FEIBA, FLEXBUMIN, GAMMAGARD, GAMMAGARD LIQUID, GLASSIA, HYQVIA, OBIZUR, ONCASPAR, ONIVYDE, RECOMBINATE, RIXUBIS and SUBCUVIA, which may be registered or used in the United States and other jurisdictions.

Basis of Forecasts

The Shire forecasts included herein are derived from Shire's Long Range Plan (the "LRP") and Shire's papers subsequently produced as part of the business planning process. Shire produces a long range plan annually. The LRP was updated in March 2015, as part of Shire's annual planning cycle, and was reviewed by the Board in April 2015. This LRP was subsequently adjusted to reflect revised expectations for SHP625 following trial results in the second quarter of 2015, the Dyax acquisition and other updates for 2015 actual performance.

The forecast product sales in this announcement are consistent with the LRP, which is at constant exchange rates, and reflects net sales for each product and key line extensions currently identified as in Phase III, Phase II and those in Phase I included in the LRP as launching before the end of 2020.

The forecast product sales included in the LRP are risk-adjusted to reflect Shire's assessment of the individual probability of launch of products in development, and the probability of success in further life cycle management trials. Estimates for these probabilities are based on industry wide data for relevant clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry at a similar stage of development.

For each pharmaceutical product, there is a range of possible outcomes from clinical development, driven by a number of variables, including safety, efficacy and product labelling. In addition, if a product is approved, the effect of commercial factors including the patient population, the competitive environment, pricing and reimbursement is also uncertain. As a result, the actual net sales achieved by a product over its commercial life will be different, perhaps materially so, from the risk adjusted net sales figures in this announcement and should be considered in this light.

The forecast product sales for Baxalta included in this press release have been stated on a constant currency and risk adjusted basis.
