		•&amp;nbsp;Alogliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that is designed to slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP•&amp;nbsp;Agreement is part of Takeda’s strategy to complement capabilities through partnerships•&amp;nbsp;Agreement complements Sanofi’s diabetes portfolio and expand its offer of innovative diabetes treatment to Chinese patients •&amp;nbsp;The regulatory approval of alogliptin in China is expected in 2013
Shanghai, China, April 22, 2013 – Takeda and Sanofi today announced that they have entered into an agreement for the co-promotion of alogliptin in China for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Alogliptin is Takeda’s new type 2 diabetes therapy, which has been filed for marketing authorization in China. It is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) that is designed to slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide).
Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda will grant Sanofi the exclusive right to co-promote alogliptin in China. Sanofi will utilize its commercial capabilities and experience to promote the product in defined territories in China. The commercial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"Diabetes has become a major public health problem in China with a rapid increase in the prevalence over recent years. China is now the country with the largest number of people with diabetes," said Haruhiko Hirate, Corporate Officer and Head of North Asia of Takeda. "The collaboration will expand our reach to Chinese physicians treating patients with type 2 diabetes. Both Takeda and Sanofi have a long history and significant experience in diabetes and this makes for a win-win partnership, as we work together to advance patient care and help to meet the needs of this growing patient population.”
"We are pleased to announce the collaboration with Takeda," said Fabrice Baschiera, General Manager, Pharmaceutical Operations, Sanofi China. "Alogliptin reinforces the strategic focus of Sanofi in the diabetes field. The new addition of alogliptin strengthens our offer of innovative diabetes treatment to Chinese patients, which includes best-in-class oral and insulin drugs. We look forward to working with Takeda to make alogliptin more widely available to patients with type 2 diabetes in China," added Mr. Baschiera.
Alogliptin was approved and marketed in Japan in 2010 under the brand name of Nesina®, where it is currently the best-selling DPP-4i for type 2 diabetes. It was approved by the U.S. FDA as a monotherapy and also in fixed-dose combination with pioglitazone (Oseni®) and metformin (Kazano®) in January 2013 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults as adjuncts to diet and exercise.
In China, the rapid economic development has brought mass urbanization, changing diets and increasingly sedentary lifestyles. These factors greatly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. China has the largest number of people with diabetes1, with approximately 92.4 million adults suffering from the disease, 60.7% of which are undiagnosed2. Over the next 20 years, an additional 40 million Chinese adults are expected to develop type 2 diabetes, surpassing the overall prevalence rate of the United States3.
Alogliptin is under registration review in China. Takeda is expecting to obtain the regulatory approval in 2013.

About Alogliptin Alogliptin is a DPP-4i for the treatment of type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet and exercise. DPP-4 is designed to slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. As a result, an increased amount of active incretins enables the pancreas to secrete insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby assisting in the management of blood glucose levels. A New Drug Application (NDA) for NESINA (alogliptin) was approved in April 2010 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and the therapy is available under the same brand name in Japan. NESINA (alogliptin) was approved by the U.S. FDA as a monotherapy and also in fixed-dose combination with pioglitazone (OSENI) and metformin (KAZANO) in January 2013 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults as adjuncts to diet and exercise.
About Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes affecting millions of people globally. Type 2 diabetes is a progressive and chronic condition and patients should work with a health care professional to manage and monitor their disease. In addition to diet and exercise, patients often need to take multiple medications in order to help them manage their blood glucose levels. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the global health care expenditures for diabetes (both type 1 and 2) were estimated at $471.6 billion in 2012. By 2030, this number is projected to exceed $595 billion. China is now the country with the largest number of people with diabetes and 92.4 million adults are suffering from the disease.&amp;nbsp;About Takeda Located in Osaka, Japan, Takeda is a research-based global company with its main focus on pharmaceuticals.

		• State-of-the-art facility in Yaroslavl demonstrates Takeda’s long-term commitment to the Russian market
• Plant expected to be fully operational in 2014, supplying high quality tablet and sterile liquid products for the local market
• €75 million investment
Zurich, Switzerland, September 11, 2012 --- Takeda Pharmaceutical International GmbH (“Takeda”) today announced the completion of construction at its pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Yaroslavl, Russia. The company has invested approximately €75 million in the 24,000m2 production plant, which is expected to be fully operational by 2014.
Takeda was one of the first major international companies to have invested in high quality pharmaceutical manufacturing in Russia, demonstrating its long-term commitment to the market. Based on sales Takeda is the 7th largest pharmaceutical company in Russia. According to IMS Health, Russian pharmaceutical sales totaled $14.7 billion* in 2011, making it the 11th largest pharmaceutical market in the world. Market sales in Russia/CIS are expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 11%* between 2012 and 2016. Takeda plans to outgrow the market with an annual growth rate of 15% over the same period.
The Yaroslavl facility will enable Takeda to meet demand in Russia, initially Cardiomagnyl, Actovegin and Calcium tablets. It will lead to creation of initially around 200 positions for highly qualified managers and technical staff.
The plant, which is approximately 280 kilometers from Moscow, was constructed on time and on budget to local and international GMP standards and adheres to the latest safety and environmental standards. It will have the initial capacity to manufacture 90 million sterile ampoules and more than 2 billion tablets per year.

The Yaroslavl facility will enable us to provide locally produced pharmaceutical products to patients and clinicians, as well as bringing significant benefits to the Yaroslavl and Russian economy.”
“Takeda is one of the flagship companies in Yaroslavl’s pharmaceutical cluster and is the first major international pharmaceutical company to invest in a new world class manufacturing facility in the region,” added Sergey Yastrebov, the Governor of Yaroslavl Region. “This project is an excellent example of the benefits that international investment can bring to the Russian economy.
