Chronology of Events 2 September 2011: Sale of Elan Drug Technologies (EDT) to Alkermes Summer 2012: Post-bapineuzumab clinical failure and announcement of spin-off of Prothena, Royalty Pharma developed an interest in Elan / Tysabri October – December 2012: Royalty Pharma had in-person meeting and several subsequent communications with Elan discussing ways in which Elan and Royalty Pharma might be able to work together, including Royalty Pharma’s interest in potentially acquiring Elan 6 February 2013: Biogen and Elan announced restructuring of their interests in Tysabri; Elan announced its acquisition strategy 18 February 2013: Call to Elan Chairman requesting an in-person meeting to discuss the Proposal 20 February 2013: In-person meeting with Elan Chairman; offer letter containing the Proposal delivered to Elan Chairman 22 February 2013: Elan reiterates acquisition strategy, announces $1bn share buy-back program and debt refinancing; Elan fails to disclose it received Royalty Pharma’s $11 per Share Proposal 25 February 2013: Royalty Pharma announces the Proposal to acquire Elan for $11 per Share / ADS; Elan confirms receipt of Proposal and characterizes Proposal as “highly conditional” Informally rejected 4 March 2013: Elan announces plan to distribute 20% of Tysabri Royalty through dividends Today: Royalty Pharma is meeting Elan shareholders to move towards a recommended transaction Terms defined in Royalty Pharma’s 6-Mar-2013 Rule 2.4 announcement have the same meanings herein 1 1 |

Morgan, BofA Merrill Lynch and Groton acting as M&A advisors $1.1+bn of cash on hand plus “highly confident” letter from BofA Merrill Lynch and J.P.

Royalty Pharma Proposal is a Substantial Premium to Relevant Sector Multiples 5 2015 P / E Multiple 2015 EV / EBITDA Multiple 2015 EV / Revenue Multiple 250% for Specialty Pharma Companies (91%, as adjusted) 170% for Large Cap Biotech Companies (48%, as adjusted) We’re offering a premium to the sector multiples of: 105% for Specialty Pharma Companies 34% for Large Cap Biotech Companies 238% for Specialty Pharma Companies 72% for Large Cap Biotech Companies Note: Please refer to Royalty Pharma’s Rule 2.4 announcement on 6-Mar-2013 for additional information and the constituents of the Large Cap Biotech Companies and Spec Pharma Companies. Multiples based on closing share prices as at 22-Feb-2013 1 If $3bn of cash ($5/share) was distributed and the RP Proposal price declined proportionately (with no change to earnings forecast), P/E would be 16.7x, but then Elan would have no cash to pursue its acquisition strategy. References to “as adjusted” refer to calculations based on this assumption 2 Median 2015E revenue forecast of $430m as at 22-Feb-2013 based on forecasts of brokers referenced in slide 22 in the appendix 1 1 1 1 |
30.6x at $11.00 Proposal If Elan distributed $3bn ($5/share) in cash, and Proposal price adjusted proportionately, the adjusted P/E would be 16.7x, but then Elan would have no cash to pursue its acquisition strategy 6 8.7x 6.8x 2015 Price to Earnings Multiples Elan Trading at a Much Higher Valuation than Successful “Roll-up” Specialty Pharma Companies * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion 1 “Roll-Up” refers to companies whose business models include significant growth through acquisitions 2 2015E Broker Projected Earnings Per Share as defined in Royalty Pharma’s Rule 2.4 announcement dated 6-Mar-2013 Without significant accretive acquisitions, applying Valeant and Jazz’s current multiples to Elan consensus 2015e EPS² of $0.36 results in a significantly lower share price for Elan: - $2.44 assuming Jazz P/E of 6.8x - $3.15 assuming Valeant P/E of 8.7x Elan plans to leverage its efficient tax domicile to make acquisitions around the globe Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc and Jazz Pharmaceuticals Plc are both companies with efficient non-US tax domiciles that are successful “roll-up” Specialty Pharma Companies Valeant and Jazz both trade at much lower P/E multiples than Elan, and they have larger infrastructures that allow for synergies which Elan does not have* 1 1 |
7 8.7x 6.8x Elan Will Need to Fill a Significant Gap in EPS to Warrant an $11 Share Price Based On Other Specialty Pharma Company Multiples * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion 1 2015E Broker Projected Earnings Per Share as defined in Royalty Pharma’s Rule 2.4 announcement dated 6-Mar-2013 2 $1bn share repurchase at $11/share implies 91m shares repurchased (shares outstanding decline from 602m to 511m) bringing 2015 existing business EPS to $0.42 and a gap of ~$0.95 2015 Price to Earnings (P/E) Multiples $11 share price / Valeant’s 2015 P/E of 8.7x = $1.26 $11 share price / Jazz’s 2015 P/E of 6.8x = $1.62 2015 EPS Required to Trade at Comparable P/E Multiples With $11 Share Price Analysts that cover Elan estimate that its existing business (i.e. primarily Tysabri) will generate 2015 EPS of approx. $0.36 Direct comparison to Jazz and Valeant suggests Elan will need to acquire new businesses or products that contribute an additional $0.90 to $1.26 in 2015 EPS to fill the EPS gap and trade at comparable multiples As illustrated, Elan would need to multiply its 2015 EPS by 3.5x to 4.5x over the next two years to fill its EPS gap Key question: can Elan turn ~$3bn in cash into ~$1.00 of incremental EPS by 2015? This would require spending $3bn to acquire ~$600m of incremental net income by 2015 from new businesses (implying a purchase multiple of 5x 2015 net income). The $1bn share repurchase would leave only ~$2bn for acquisitions, implying that Elan would need to acquire ~$480m of incremental net income (implying a purchase multiple of 4.2x 2015 net income) . 1 2 |
About the Tysabri Transaction Announced to the market on 6 February 2013 Expected to close in 2Q 2013 On completion of the Tysabri Transaction, Elan will give up its 50% profit share in Tysabri in exchange for: $3.25bn in cash A tiered royalty on Tysabri sales 12% on sales during first 12 months following closing of the Tysabri Transaction After 12 months, 18% royalty on first $2bn of annual sales and 25% royalty on annual sales over $2bn Tiered royalty structure allocates more of the lower risk cash flows (<$2bn in annual sales) to Biogen, and makes the value allocated to Elan more dependent on higher risk cash flows (>$2bn in annual sales) In addition, on completion of the Tysabri Transaction: The collaboration agreement between Biogen and Elan will terminate (eliminating change of control provision) Biogen will have full operational control of, and majority economic interest in, Tysabri After the Tysabri Transaction, substantially all of Elan’s value will consist of net cash of approximately $3.1bn and a royalty interest in Tysabri 8 |
On 6 February, Elan Revealed its True Colors* 9 * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion 1 Royalty Pharma has underscored certain portions of the passages for emphasis Use of majority of cash for acquisitions Unclear and unfocused acquisition strategy* Vague statements regarding returning cash to shareholders* Little concern for shareholder views* Stock fell 10% Our Perspective of Key Points Made* Quote “As far as usage of this capital upon close, they include, but are not limited to, therapeutic opportunities across broad therapies. We are basically agnostic to therapeutic focus” . . . “we are somewhat agnostic to different geographies . . . they all hold some appeal, depending on what part of the geography you’re interested in . . . we are not particularly interested in large markets, large indications of primary care, but large markets in smaller indications would be attractive and vice versa.” “And we still do like some very specific, unique science things.” “At the right time and in the right manner, we would intend to provide some portion of this capital back to shareholders over time.” “We are not going to satisfy all investors on every category . . . So anyway, everyone can vote with their feet . . .” “But to emphasize, the $3.25 billion is a lot of money. There is a lot of assets out there. Our goal as we sit here today is that the majority of that capital over time should be put into businesses, again, in a balanced way. But again, some portion of it, given that we brought forward the value, will be returned to shareholders at the right time and post-close and as we sequence it against other transactions” 1 |
Following Royalty Pharma Offer, Elan Changed its Tune* 10 * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion 1 RBC and Deutsche Bank notes published on 4-Mar-2013 “We greatly value our shareholder relationships and the access to equity capital these relationships give us and we appreciate the time horizon of many of our long term holders. We will continue to work on ways to unlock incremental value to their direct benefit.” "The vast majority of our investor base simply don't view Royalty's indication as worthy of any discussion period." “We don’t see Royalty Pharma as a credible counterparty to have any strategic discussions with. We’re not looking for any price.” Elan Shareholders Should View This Change of Heart with Skepticism* Post-Offer Announcements 22 February: $1bn share repurchase program Appreciation for long term shareholders 4 March: Dividend of 20% Tysabri royalty, but Statement of current intention only – no long-term binding commitment Brokers calculate a 1-2% yield No clarity on 80% retained Interview remarks by CEO reject any discussions with Royalty Pharma “We're not in any discussions with [Royalty Pharma] at all on any topic and we don't see any need to have those discussions." First comments, or lack thereof, are often more revealing* Change of heart prompted by Royalty Pharma Proposal* Management does not appear to be focused on maximizing shareholder value* 4 March CEO interview remarks: “We’re not looking for any price” 1 |
11 Following 6 February Announcement, Elan Shares Faced Pressure, Counterbalanced by Speculation Elan Could be Acquired * Note: Median broker target price calculated from broker notes released after the Tysabri Transaction announcement and prior to 25-Feb-2013. *This is not a valuation or profit forecast 1 Based on broker notes released after the Tysabri Transaction announcement and prior to 25-Feb-2013 (the date of release of Royalty Pharma’s initial Rule 2.4 announcement) 2 For brokers with Euro-denominated target prices, change in target price is on a constant currency basis (i.e. excludes impact of changes in USD:EUR exchange rate) 3 Report includes at least some commentary on these issues 9 out of 11 analysts have price targets at or below Royalty Pharma’s Proposal price 1 |
Significant Execution Risk Associated with Elan’s New Strategy* 12 Royalty Pharma believes that: Attractive strategic assets in the pharmaceutical industry are in short supply There is strong competition for such assets from many large buyers with real operating synergies . . . . . . driving high prices that make the creation of value through acquisitions difficult There is no certainty that Elan will be able to deploy capital in ways that create value Current senior management of Elan has not made significant acquisitions or in-licenses of late-stage products at Elan; does not have a proven acquisition / in-licensing track record* Known instead for divestiture of bapineuzumab, Elan Drug Technologies, Prothena and Tysabri A successful acquisition strategy would typically require Elan to build a costly operating infrastructure and sales force in order to allow it to realize synergies from acquisitions* Investments typically required in connection with acquisitions / in-licenses could dilute Elan’s net income and cash flow for some period, and perhaps even cause those to become negative Each new investment will likely be scrutinized by Elan shareholders and analysts for near term value creation potential, increasing volatility in Elan shares* Proposal allows investors to redeploy the cash themselves rather than have Elan acquire equivalent assets on their behalf and pay a control premium Shareholders will have limited control over what Elan does with its cash * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion |
Value of Tysabri Economics Retained by Elan ($ bn) Illustrative % of Elan’s Tysabri economics sold to Biogen for cash 46% 48% 50% 52% 54% Illustrative % of Elan’s Tysabri economics retained by Elan in the form of Tysabri royalty 54% 52% 50% 48% 46% Purchase price paid by Biogen for Tysabri economics acquired $3.25 $3.25 $3.25 $3.25 $3.25 Implied residual value of Elan’s Tysabri Royalty $3.81 $3.52 $3.25 $3.00 $2.77 Proposal Enterprise Value $3.56 $3.56 $3.56 $3.56 $3.56 Royalty Pharma Proposal Premium -6.6% 1.2% 9.6% 18.7% 28.7% Tysabri Transaction set a real benchmark for (a) the value of the Tysabri Royalty retained by Elan,¹ and (b) the price of an arms-length transaction at which Elan was a willing seller* Synergies realizable by Biogen (~$30m annual operating synergies ) reduce the net cost to Biogen, suggesting the Proposal is even more competitive relative to Biogen’s net effective price* No other buyer besides Biogen can realize such synergies; no further synergies available Proposal is at a Premium to Price Paid by Biogen in Tysabri Transaction* 13 * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion 1 Percentage retained by Elan not disclosed by either Biogen or Elan. Percentage can be approximated by dividing, on a year-by-year basis, the estimated Tysabri royalty to Elan by 50% of Tysabri stand-alone operating profit 2 Biogen 6-Feb-2013 presentation 3 Assumes minimal value ascribed to other assets as described on slide 14 2 3 |
Royalty Pharma Proposal Reflects Full Value for All Elan Assets* 14 * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion Note: Per share values calculated based on fully diluted shares of 602.0m at $11 per share Proposal price as set out in Appendix VI of Royalty Pharma’s announcement on 6-Mar-2013 1 Pro forma for the completion of the Tysabri Transaction (net cash adjusted for $3.25bn upfront proceeds from Biogen); includes impact of $123m outstanding bapi commitment 2 $123m remaining commitment disclosed in Elan 20-F for year ended 31-Dec-2012; $60-80m expected this year with $30m already paid in Jan-2013 Value Comment Hard Assets: Net Cash¹ $3.1bn ($5.1/share) Not sensible to pay a premium for cash* Tysabri Royalty $3.25bn is mid-point of range, excluding synergies, ignoring increased risk of tiered royalty (See slide 13) ($5.4/share)* Not sensible to pay a premium for a financial asset like a royalty: should be valued on the basis of financial metrics (i.e. intrinsic value)* Biogen now has full operating control – little or no strategic value at Elan* Substantial portion of cash flow and value derived post 2020 patent expiry* Financial Attributes: NOLs Less than $187.5m ($0.3/share) Maximum value of $187.5m (= $1.5bn in putative NOLs times 12.5% Irish tax rate) provided Elan can use all NOLs upfront If they are used over time, net present value of NOLs is less than $187.5m Irish Tax Domicile Difficult to value; perhaps no value if no suitor with need for domicile comes forward Does not differentiate Elan from many other pharma companies in low-tax jurisdictions (e.g Jazz, Valeant)* Extremely difficult now to use Irish domicile to lower tax rate of non-Irish businesses as a result of change in law following Alkermes/EDT deal Offsets: Operating Expenses incl. ELND005 $170-190m in 2013 (-$0.3/share) annually These expenses would decrease cash available to Elan Shareholders; ELND005 clinical trial costs not disclosed Expenses assoc. with bapineuzumab (bapi) $60-80m remaining in 2013 for bapi ; no visible value in excess of investment required* $123m commitment remains for bapi Other Considerations: Business Development Value destruction a real possibility* Scarcity of assets, competition, lack of synergies and lack of management track record imply significant execution risk* 2 2 |
Limited, Customary Pre-Conditions to a Firm Offer Satisfactory completion of customary due diligence (including management meetings) Completion of Tysabri Transaction Other customary conditions as set out in Rule 2.4 announcement of 25 February 2013 15 Our Proposal has only limited and customary pre-conditions… …All can be satisfied quickly; we expect to complete due diligence in 20 days |
Reasons Why Royalty Pharma’s Proposal is Compelling 16 1. Allows Elan Shareholders to immediately receive full value for their Shares in cash* 2. Proposal is at a premium to price paid by Biogen in Tysabri Transaction* 3. Proposal represents a cash premium of 12.5% to the Current Enterprise Value, and EV and P/E multiples well above relevant sector multiples 4. Significant execution risk associated with Elan’s new strategy* 5. Elan’s senior management lacks a successful acquisition / in-licensing track record at Elan* 6. Post-Tysabri Transaction, Elan has little or no strategic value; the field of likely acquirors has narrowed sharply* 7. Royalty Pharma is ready and able to move quickly to announcement of a formal offer once given appropriate due diligence access * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion |
The Choice for Elan Shareholders is Clear 17 Cash Out Now at Full Value Trust That Elan’s Acquisition Strategy Will Succeed Elan Shareholders may never get another opportunity to make this choice and should urge the Elan Board to engage with Royalty Pharma* Receive full value for Elan shares in cash now* Certainty of value Remain invested in a company with two material assets: A royalty interest in Tysabri Cash, the majority of which management has stated will be used for acquisitions Accept the execution risk associated with Elan’s acquisition strategy OR * Denotes a Royalty Pharma opinion |
