Recent Events

    --  AbbVie and Allergan plc announced that the companies have entered into a
        definitive transaction agreement under which AbbVie will acquire
        Allergan in a cash and stock transaction for a transaction equity value
        of approximately $63 billion. The proposed acquisition is
        transformational for both companies and provides immediate scale,
        diversity and profitability to AbbVie's growth platform; enhances
        long-term R&D investment and sustained focus on innovative science; and
        increases global commercial scale to further maximize the value of
        Allergan's portfolio. The combined company will produce robust cash flow
        to support continued dividend growth and reduction of debt levels.
        Additional information on the transaction can be found at
        www.abbvie.com/abbvie-allergan.html
    --  AbbVie announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
        European Commission (EC) approvals of SKYRIZI (risankizumab) for the
        treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who
        are candidates for systemic therapy. The approvals are based on results
        from four pivotal Phase 3 studies, ultIMMa-1, ultIMMa-2, IMMvent and
        IMMhance evaluating more than 2,000 patients with moderate to severe
        plaque psoriasis. SKYRIZI is part of a collaboration between Boehringer
        Ingelheim (BI) and AbbVie, with AbbVie leading development and
        commercialization globally.
    --  At the World Congress of Dermatology, AbbVie presented new two-year data
        showing SKYRIZI patients with moderate to severe psoriasis maintained
        complete skin clearance. Longer-term results from the Phase 3 IMMhance
        study showed 73 percent and 72 percent of patients treated with
        continuous SKYRIZI experienced complete skin clearance (defined as
        static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 0 and Psoriasis Area and
        Severity Index 100, respectively) at week 94, among patients who
        achieved a sPGA 0/1 at week 28. No new safety findings were observed at
        two years.
    --  At the European Congress of Rheumatology, AbbVie presented new long-term
        data from upadacitinib Phase 3 studies SELECT-EARLY and SELECT-COMPARE
        showing a significantly higher proportion of patients with rheumatoid
        arthritis treated with upadacitinib monotherapy or in combination with
        methotrexate (MTX) maintained clinical remission compared with MTX or
        adalimumab plus MTX, respectively, at 48 weeks. Additionally, findings
        from an integrated safety analysis across five studies in the SELECT
        Phase 3 clinical program support the well-characterized safety profile
        of upadacitinib in patients with moderately to severely active
        rheumatoid arthritis.
    --  AbbVie announced FDA approval for VENCLEXTA (venetoclax) in combination
        with obinutuzumab as a chemotherapy-free combination regimen for
        previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small
        lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) patients. The FDA reviewed the submission
        under the Real-Time Oncology Review pilot program and approval was based
        on data from the Phase 3 CLL14 trial evaluating VENCLEXTA in combination
        with obinutuzumab compared to patients who received chlorambucil plus
        obinutuzumab. This is the fourth approval and the fifth Breakthrough
        Therapy designation for VENCLEXTA. Venetoclax is being developed by
        AbbVie and Roche and is jointly commercialized by AbbVie and Genentech,
        a member of the Roche Group, in the U.S. and by AbbVie outside of the
        U.S.
    --  At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and
        European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress, AbbVie presented
        over forty abstracts including results from the Phase 3 CLL14 trial of
        VENCLEXTA plus obinutuzumab in previously untreated CLL patients,
        results from the Phase 3 BELLINI trial of VENCLEXTA plus bortezomib and
        dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) multiple
        myeloma (MM) and results from the Phase 3 CLL12 trial of IMBRUVICA
        (ibrutinib) in the asymptomatic watch and wait population of CLL. AbbVie
        also presented new IMBRUVICA six-year and five-year data from the Phase
        3 RESONATE and RESONATE-2 trials, respectively, evaluating its long-term
        safety and efficacy benefit in CLL/SLL patients. IMBRUVICA is jointly
        developed and commercialized with Janssen Biotech, Inc.
    --  AbbVie announced the FDA lifted the partial clinical hold placed on
        CANOVA, a Phase 3 trial evaluating VENCLEXTA for the investigational
        treatment of r/r MM. The CANOVA trial evaluates VENCLEXTA in combination
        with dexamethasone versus pomalidomide in combination with dexamethasone
        in patients with r/r MM positive for the translocation (11;14)
        abnormality. The partial clinical hold removal is based upon agreement
        on revisions to the CANOVA study protocol, including new risk mitigation
        measures, protocol-specified guidelines and updated futility criteria.
        The t(11;14) genetic biomarker is among the most common and routinely
        tested genetic abnormalities in patients with MM.
    --  AbbVie provided an update on the depatuxizumab mafodotin (Depatux-M)
        glioblastoma program, announcing that the Phase 3 INTELLANCE-1 study did
        not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival at the interim
        analysis and demonstrated no survival benefit for newly diagnosed
        patients receiving Depatux-M. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee
        responsible for interim analysis data review recommended stopping the
        study due to lack of survival benefit for patients receiving Depatux-M
        and enrollment in all ongoing Depatux-M studies has been halted. Results
        will be submitted for presentation at a medical conference and for
        publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
    --  At the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, AbbVie presented
        six abstracts, including two oral presentations showing AbbVie's
        research progress in difficult to treat neurological conditions.
        Investigators presented pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability data on
        ABBV-951, a levodopa/carbidopa prodrug, delivering a 24-hour continuous,
        subcutaneous infusion under investigation for the treatment for advanced
        Parkinson's disease. Investigators also presented data from a Phase 1,
        multiple-dose study of elezanumab in patients with relapsing forms of
        multiple sclerosis.
    --  AbbVie announced that it has resolved U.S. HUMIRA (adalimumab)
        litigation with BI. Under the terms of the resolution, AbbVie will grant
        BI a non-exclusive license to its HUMIRA-related intellectual property
        in the United States. The U.S. license for BI will begin on July 1,
        2023. BI will pay royalties to AbbVie for licensing its HUMIRA patents
        and acknowledges the validity and enforceability of the licensed
        patents. AbbVie will make no payments of any form to BI.
    --  AbbVie announced the acquisition of Mavupharma, a privately held
        biopharmaceutical company focused on novel approaches to target the
        STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes) pathway for the treatment of
        cancer. STING pathway signaling plays an important role in the
        generation of an immune response directed at tumors, and enhancing STING
        signaling has shown promise in a variety of tumor models. STING pathway
        stimulation has the potential to increase the susceptibility of tumors
        and broaden treatment options for patients. The collaboration broadens
        AbbVie's oncology research platform to expand the development of
        potentially life-changing treatments for patients.

                licensing arrangements with third
                parties. Restructuring is primarily
                associated with streamlining global
                operations. Acquisition related
                costs reflect transaction and
                financing costs related to the
                proposed Allergan acquisition.

               Milestones and other R&D expenses
                are associated with milestone
                payments for previously announced
                collaborations. Acquired IPR&D
                primarily reflects upfront payments
                related to R&D collaborations and
                licensing arrangements with third
                parties. Restructuring is primarily
                associated with streamlining global
                operations. Acquisition related
                costs reflect transaction and
                financing costs related to the
                proposed Allergan acquisition.
