MEET SANOFI Management Forward Looking Statements MEET SANOFI Management Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. These statements include projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives, intentions and expectations with respect to future financial results, events, operations, services, product development and potential, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "plans" and similar expressions. Although Sanofi's management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of Sanofi, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include among other things, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, future clinical data and analysis, including post marketing, decisions by regulatory authorities, such as the FDA or the EMA, regarding whether and when to approve any drug, device or biological application that may be filed for any such product candidates as well as their decisions regarding labeling and other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of such product candidates, the absence of guarantee that the product candidates if approved will be commercially successful, the future approval and commercial success of therapeutic alternatives, the Group's ability to benefit from external growth opportunities, trends in exchange rates and prevailing interest rates, the impact of cost containment initiatives and subsequent changes thereto, the average number of shares outstanding as well as those discussed or identified in the public filings with the SEC and the AMF made by Sanofi, including those listed under "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in Sanofi's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014. Other than as required by applicable law, Sanofi does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or statements. 2 2015-2020 ROADMAP Olivier Brandicourt Chief Executive Officer MEET SANOFI Management Agenda Our vision for Sanofi Sanofi’s path to success Delivering performance 4 Many Elements Point towards a Favorable Outlook for the Healthcare Industry despite Multiple Challenges Opportunities Challenges Growing and aging population Affordability is a key concern globally Unmet medical needs remain high Price pressure from payers in developed markets Improved R&D productivity across the industry Biosimilar threat and risk of interchangeability Exciting time scientifically Slowdown in economic growth Rising middle class in Emerging in Emerging Markets Markets More focused competitors building Empowered patients leadership positions 5 Sanofi Has Important Strengths to Build On in this Changing Environment Launching a strong set Leading of products Making credible positions in across multiple TAs entry in new TAs Diabetes, Vaccines, e.g. Multiple Rare Diseases, Sclerosis Emerging Markets Record of Strong skills building leading for managing brands: Successful in mature Lantus®, Fluzone®, sourcing external businesses Cerezyme® innovation: Regeneron, Alnylam, Voyager TA: Therapeutic Areas 6 Sanofi Also Has Challenges to Address in Order to Succeed 1 Broad portfolio 2 Lantus® loss of exclusivity 3 Pressure on margins 4 Limited breadth of pipeline 5 Complexity 7 A New Strategic Direction for Sanofi Is Needed to Change our Growth Trajectory Sanofi is a global healthcare company focused on disease prevention and treatment ● DIVERSIFIED in Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Consumer Healthcare Our Vision for Sanofi ● FOCUSED on 5 GBUs(1) ● INNOVATIVE to sustain long term growth ● SIMPLIFIED as an organization (1) Diabetes/Cardiovascular, General Medicines and Emerging Markets, Specialty Care, Vaccines, Animal Health 8 Agenda Our vision for Sanofi Sanofi’s path to success Delivering performance 9 We Have Four Strategic Priorities 1 2 3 Deliver Sustain Reshape outstanding innovation the portfolio launches in R&D 4 Simplify the organization 10 1 Reshape the Portfolio Sustain Build competitive Explore strategic A B C leadership positions options ● Diabetes/CV ● Multiple Sclerosis(1) ● Animal Health ● Vaccines ● Oncology(1) ● Generics(2) in Europe ● Rare Diseases(1) ● Immunology(1) ● Emerging Markets(2) ● Consumer Healthcare(2) (1) Will be part of Specialty Care Global Business Unit (2) Will be part of General Medicines and Emerging Markets Global Business Unit 11 A Committed to Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases 1 Develop the insulin franchise Strengthen the pipeline through external opportunities 2 and ambitious research 3 Lead the market shift to managing diabetes outcomes Google Life Sciences 4 Transform the management of hypercholesterolemia Ambition to grow Diabetes franchise beginning in 2019(1) Praluent® multi-blockbuster potential (1) Diabetes sales are expected to decline at an average annualized rate of -4% to -8% at CER over 2015-2018 Icons designed by Freepik 12 Strengthening our R&D Portfolio in Diabetes A with Two In-Licensing Agreements (2) Immunology Sotagliflozin -

  • Robert J. Desalvo Papers Business Combinations in the Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Industries 1944
    Robert J. DeSalvo Papers Business Combinations in the Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Industries 1944 - 1990 Collection #107 Abstract Robert J. DeSalvo’s research focused on business combinations (acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This topic was the basis for his master’s thesis in pharmacy administration at the University of Pittsburgh and continued as a life-long interest. This collection consists of two series of notebooks that Dr. DeSalvo developed to record relevant business combinations. The first series records acquisitions, proposed acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures for the period of 1944 –1990 in an alphabetical arrangement. The information on these entries is cumulative so that the history of an organization is collected in one place. The second series of notebooks is arranged in chronological blocks. The information is arranged alphabetically by the name of the acquirer. The name of the acquired (merged), type of combination (acquisition, proposed acquisition, joint venture) and the date is also provided. The information is cross-referenced between the two series so that the researcher can approach the information by the name of the parent company or chronologically. Dr. DeSalvo used this resource for many of his publications as well as his master’s thesis. A copy of these publications and his thesis make up the remainder of the collection. Donor Gift of Barbara DeSalvo, 2000 Biography Robert James DeSalvo was born on July 20, 1933 in Toledo, OH. He died on January 23, 1993 in Cincinnati, OH. DeSalvo graduated from high school in Toledo and attended pharmacy school at the University of Toledo where he received his B.S.

The first phase was how do we build a pipeline to be delivered in 2015, 2016, 2017 when we had loss of exclusiv- ity on key products, with Lantus being the last major drug after Plavix and others that lost their patents. The goal was how to do it without breaking the bank,” Zerhouni told Scrip in a recent interview. That initial revamp involved overhauling the pipeline and trimming 19 Phase II and Phase III programs from Sanofi’s R&D pipe- line between 2009 and 2012.
