    NOTICE OF 2020 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT ANNUAL MEETING Friday, May 15, 2020 11:00 a.m. at Seattle Genetics Corporate Headquarters Building 3 21823 – 30th Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021 Dear Fellow Shareholders: Seattle Genetics had a remarkable year in 2019 and entered 2020 as a multi-product oncology company. First, in collaboration with our partner Takeda, ADCETRIS® global sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time. ADCETRIS is an important medicine around the world for the treatment of patients with certain types of lymphoma. Second, we and our collaborator Astellas received FDA accelerated approval of PADCEVTM (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) for adult patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, potentially changing the treatment paradigm for these patients with a high unmet need. The approval expanded our commercial portfolio and will diversify our revenues from product sales, adding to a strong ADCETRIS base. And third, we reported positive results from our tucatinib HER2CLIMB-01 pivotal trial, which supported marketing applications in the United States, Europe and other countries to treat patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. These submissions position tucatinib to be our third commercial product, if approved, and allow us to offer a new treatment option to thousands of patients globally who are in need of better therapies. In addition, we believe ADCETRIS, PADCEV and tucatinib have other therapeutic opportunities and are investing in broad development programs. We also continue to invest in research and development as it is the engine for our future growth. We are advancing a robust pipeline of new product candidates in clinical trials, with a focus on first-in-class or best-in-class targeted therapies for cancer.

    35 Years of Supporting Innovation 2015/2016 REPORT CEO’s Message Table of Contents Marking Washington Research Foundation’s 35th anniversary is a good opportunity to reflect on the depth of talent in our state and the importance of the work that we support. Grant Programs 1 We’ve had the privilege of working with Dr. Benjamin Hall [profile on page 2], whose yeast technology has improved Dr. Benjamin D. Hall Profile 2 the health of more than a billion people worldwide. We’ve supported some of the most exceptional young minds in the country through our partnership with the ARCS Foundation [see page 1]. We’ve given grants and made venture Grant Profiles 4 investments in some of the most innovative projects and startup companies to come out of our local, world-class research WRF Capital 8 institutions. Our focus on research in Washington means that we focus on some of the best researchers in the world. Tom Cable, Bill Gates Sr. and Hunter Simpson recognized this when they founded WRF in 1981. It was clear to Portfolio Company Profiles 9 them that the University of Washington and other local institutions were creating valuable intellectual property with the WRF Venture Center and potential to benefit the public and provide much-needed revenue for additional research. At the time, UW had neither WRF Research Services 12 the resources nor expertise to successfully license its inventions. WRF was created to fill that gap. Our activities have since expanded, and despite a lack of precedence to predict success, coupled with some lean early years, we Staff 13 have now earned more than $436 million in licensing revenue for the University of Washington and disbursed over Board of Directors 14 $66 million in grants to research institutions throughout the state.

Dr. Kronstad received a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Washington, which was followed by two years of postdoctoral studies with ZymoGenetics in Seattle and two years as a research biologist with the USDA at the University of Wisconsin. Currently, he is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunol - ogy at the University of British Columbia and serves as the Director of the Michael Smith Laboratories, an interdisciplinary research unit founded by the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Michael Smith. Dr. Kronstad is a Bur - roughs Wellcome Fund Scholar, a Fellow of the American Academy of Mi - crobiology, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In addition to these accomplishments, he previously served as chair of the NIH study section on AIDS, Opportunistic Infections, and Cancer (AOIC) (2008-2010). As a leader in the field of fungal pathogenesis, Dr. Kronstad has con - tributed significantly to our understanding of the virulence mechanisms of fungal pathogens, their responses to anti-fungal therapeutics and aspects of fungal co-infection with HIV. In addition, work from Kronstad’s laboratory has uncovered important fungal survival adaptations to the host environ - ment. Dr. Kronstad’s research program focuses on the molecular genetic and genomic analysis of virulence in the fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii.

Banting and McLeod received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1923. The discovery of insulin was truly a miracle for patients with Type 1 diabetes, for whom the only alternative to a quick death from ketoacidosis was the slow death by starvation on the low-calorie diet prescribed by Allen of the Rockefeller Institute [5–7]. Insulin went into immedi- ate industrial production (from bovine or porcine pancreata) from the Connaught laboratories of the University of Toronto and, under license from the University of Toronto by Eli Lilly and Co. in the United States, by the Danish companies Nordisk Insulin Laboratorium and Novo (who merged in 1989 as Novo Nordisk), and by the German company Hoechst (now Sanofi), all of which remain the major players in the insulin business today. Insulin also turned out to be a blessing for scientists interested in protein struc- ture. It was the first protein to be sequenced [8, 9], earning Fred Sanger his first Nobel Prize in 1958.
