Sales growth and financial position

Sales growth sped up over the fourth quarter to 15%, 3
percentage points higher than that of third quarter 2009. The markets of
Northern Europe ("Other EU") and the sublingual route drove this progression
but the markets of Southern Europe had an encouraging recovery in growth over
the last quarter. Other markets were affected by a negative basis effect due
to the strong growth achieved in 2008.

Organic growth, after restatement for foreign exchange effects
stood at 13% over the quarter and 12% over the full year.

As a consequence, results for the year will markedly improve:
operating profit and net profit as a percentage of sales should remain close
to the levels achieved in 2008 (16% and 11%, respectively). The Company had a
positive net cash position at the end of the financial year.

The comprehensive 2009 results will be published on 16 March
2010
after close of trading.

As for 2010, the Group is currently expecting significant
growth and a further improvement in its results due to the limitation put on
R&D expenses.

Significant 4th quarter transactions and events

Following the mutual recognition procedure, Oralair(R)
(immunotherapy tablet for grass pollen) was granted a marketing authorisation
in 22 European countries in its adult and paediatric indications on 27
November 2009
.

The outstanding results of the study devoted to showing the
long-term sustained effect of Oralair(R) were announced on 7 December 2009.
They significantly confirmed the clinical relevance of Oralair(R). This study
is being continued with a view to demonstrating the persistence of the effect
after completion of the treatment (carry-over effect), which should be the
subject of an announcement at the end of 2010.

The Oralair(R) phase III clinical study in the US was
completed in good conditions. Talks are ongoing with the FDA on statistical
analysis matters. These exchanges have no impact on the results of the study
but must be concluded before the database is opened for analysis.
Consequently, the delivery of the preliminary results will take place in a
few weeks.

The authorisation to carry out a Phase III clinical study on
children for Actair(R) (immunotherapy tablet for dust mites) on 450 patients
has been granted in Europe and patients are being recruited. The preliminary
results should be published in mid-2011.

The presentation of the clinical results obtained in 2009 and
at the start of 2010 will be the subject of a specific meeting, to be
organised shortly.
