that AstraZeneca
misrepresented the safety profile of, and improperly promoted, Seroquel IR and Seroquel XR. The US government and the named
states have declined to intervene in this case. 
 
Texas Attorney General litigation 
 
In the US, in October 2014, following a previously disclosed investigation by the State of Texas into AstraZeneca's sales
and marketing activities involving Seroquel, the Texas Attorney General's Office intervened in a state whistleblower action
pending in Travis County Court, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that AstraZeneca engaged in inappropriate promotion of Seroquel
and made improper payments intended to influence the formulary status of Seroquel. The trial is scheduled for October
2017.

 Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements  
 
 
In order, among other things, to utilise the 'safe harbour' provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
1995, we are providing the following cautionary statement: 
 
This document contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the operations, performance and financial
condition of the Group, including, among other things, statements about expected revenues, margins, earnings per share or
other financial or other measures. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any
forward-looking statements, by their very nature, involve risks and uncertainties and may be influenced by factors that
could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those predicted. The forward-looking statements
reflect knowledge and information available at the date of preparation of this document and AstraZeneca undertakes no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements. We identify the forward-looking statements by using the words
'anticipates', 'believes', 'expects', 'intends' and similar expressions in such statements. Important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, certain of which are beyond
our control, include, among other things: the loss or expiration of, or limitations to, patents, marketing exclusivity or
trademarks, or the risk of failure to obtain and enforce patent protection; effects of patent litigation in respect of IP
rights; the impact of any delays in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of any of our products; the impact of any
failure by third parties to supply materials or services; the risk of failure of outsourcing; the risks associated with
manufacturing biologics; the risk that R&D will not yield new products that achieve commercial success; the risk of delay
to new product launches; the risk that new products do not perform as we expect; the risk that strategic alliances and
acquisitions, including licensing and collaborations, will be unsuccessful; the risks from pressures resulting from generic
competition; the impact of competition, price controls and price reductions; the risks associated with developing our
business in emerging markets; the risk of illegal trade in our products; the difficulties of obtaining and maintaining
regulatory approvals for products; the risk that regulatory approval processes for biosimilars could have an adverse effect
on future commercial prospects; the risk of failure to successfully implement planned cost reduction measures through
productivity initiatives and restructuring programmes; the risk of failure of critical processes affecting business
continuity; economic, regulatory and political pressures to limit or reduce the cost of our products; failure to achieve
strategic priorities or to meet targets or expectations; the risk of substantial adverse litigation/government
investigation claims and insufficient insurance coverage; the risk of substantial product liability claims; the risk of
failure to adhere to applicable laws, rules and regulations; the risk of failure to adhere to applicable laws, rules and
regulations relating to anti-competitive behaviour; the impact of increasing implementation and enforcement of more
stringent anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation; taxation risks; exchange rate fluctuations; the risk of an adverse
impact of a sustained economic downturn; political and socio-economic conditions; the risk of environmental liabilities;
the risk of occupational health and safety liabilities; the risk associated with pensions liabilities; the impact of
failing to attract and retain key personnel and to successfully engage with our employees; the risk of misuse of social
medial platforms and new technology; and the risk of failure of information technology and cybercrime. Nothing in this
presentation / webcast should be construed as a profit forecast.
