• Queen et al. Patents
• Patent license agreements
• Purchase new royalty generating assets
▪ Assets that improve shareholder return
▪ Commercial stage assets
▪ Prefer biologics with strong patent protection
5
Antibody Humanization Technology
• Antibodies are naturally produced by humans to fight
foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses
• In the 1980’s, scientists began creating antibodies in non-
human immune systems, such as those of mice, that could
target specific sites on cells to fight various human
diseases
• However, mouse derived antibodies are recognized by the
human body as foreign substances and may be rejected
by the human immune system
6
• PDL’s technology allows for the “humanization” of mouse derived antibodies by moving the
important binding regions from the mouse antibody onto a human framework
• PDL’s humanization technology is important because the humanized antibodies retain the
binding and activity levels from the original mouse antibody
• PDL’s technology has been incorporated into antibodies to treat cancer, eye diseases, arthritis,
multiple sclerosis and other health conditions with aggregate annual sales of over $17 billion

Queen et al Patents - Royalty Rates

• Tysabri and Actemra
• Flat, low single-digit royalty
• Genentech Products (Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis1 and Xolair)
• Tiered royalties on product made or sold in US
• Flat, 3% royalty on product made and sold outside US
• Blended global royalty rate on Genentech Products in 2010 was 1.9%
• Blended royalty rate on Genentech Products in 2010 made or sold in US was
1.5%
1. As part of a settlement with Novartis, which commercializes Lucentis outside US, PDL agreed to pay to Novartis
certain amounts based on net sales of Lucentis made by Novartis during calendar year 2011 and beyond. The
amounts to be paid are less than we receive in royalties on such sales and we do not currently expect such amount
to materially impact our total annual revenues.
Shift of Manufacturing Sites = Higher Royalties
• Roche is moving some manufacturing ex-US which may result in higher royalties to PDL due
to the flat 3% royalty for Genentech Products made and sold ex-US
▪ Current production at Penzburg (Herceptin) and Basel (Avastin) plants
▪ Two new plants in Singapore (CHO = antibody and e. coli = antibody fragment)
- E. coli (Lucentis) and CHO (Avastin) plants are approved for commercial supply to the US
- E. coli and CHO plants are expected to be approved for commercial supply to the EU in 2011
- Currently, all Lucentis is made in the US

ü With respect to its accelerated approval for the treatment of
HER2- breast cancer, FDA, an FDA Advisory Committee and
an FDA special appeals committee have recommended
removal of this indication from Avastin’s label due to the lack
of compelling data reported in required confirmatory trial.
ü Final decision rests with the FDA Commissioner.
ü Genentech has submitted a new proposal to maintain the
approval with more restrictive labeling, REMS and a
commitment to conduct a new 480 patient confirmatory trial.
ü EMEA narrowed, but did not withdraw Avastin’s approval for
first line treatment of HER2- breast cancer in combination
with paclitaxel or with Xeloda.
ü Roche lowered its estimate of peak annual sales from of
Avastin from CHF8 - CHF9 billion to CHF7 billion.

ü On June 4, 2011, Genentech announced results from Phase 3
study evaluating Avastin in combination with chemotherapy
(gemcitabine and carboplatin) followed by the continued use of
Avastin alone in women with previously treated (recurrent)
platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer which showed that women who
received Avastin experienced a 52% reduction in the risk of their
disease progressing (HR=0.48, p<0.0001) compared to women
who received chemotherapy alone.
ü Two previous Phase 3 studies in women with newly diagnosed
ovarian cancer demonstrated that front-line Avastin in
combination with standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and
paclitaxel), followed by the continued use of Avastin alone,
significantly increased progression free survival compared to
treatment with chemotherapy alone.
ü EU’s CHMP has recommended approval for first line treatment of
ovarian cancer.
ü Genentech expects to file an application for approval in US in late
2011 so that it can meet FDA’s request for overall survival data.

ü On January 7, 2011, Novartis announced that Lucentis has been
approved in the EU for the treatment of visual impairment due to
diabetic macular edema (DME).
§ DME is a leading cause of blindness in the working-age
population in most developed countries.
ü On February 11 and June 28, 2011, Genentech announced that
two Phase 3 studies evaluating patients with DME showed that a
significantly higher percentage of patients receiving monthly
dosing of Lucentis achieved an improvement in vision compared
to those in a control group, who received a placebo injection.
ü On June 6, 2011, Novartis announced that Lucentis has been
approved in the EU for the treatment of visual impairment due to
macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

ü On April 28, 2011, New England Journal of Medicine reported the
results from the NEI’s CATT study comparing Lucentis and
Avastin on fixed and variable schedules in the treatment of AMD.
ü Efficacy results from the first year of the two year study showed
that, with respect to the primary endpoint of mean change in
visual acuity (number of lines of letters on an eye chart) at 12
months, less expensive Avastin was not inferior to Lucentis.
§ It is estimated that off label use of Avastin in the U.S. was
60% prior to the results of the CATT trial.
ü At 12 months, serious adverse events (primarily hospitalizations)
occurred at a 24% rate for patients receiving Avastin and a 19%
rate for patients receiving Lucentis. However, preliminary 24
month safety data showed no difference between Lucentis and
Avastin treated patients in terms of death, stroke and all
arteriothrombotic events.
ü On August 30, 2011, FDA issued a health warning alert after at
least 16 AMD patients suffered eye infections after being treated
with repackaged Avastin.
ü Veterans Administration has halted its use of Avastin for AMD
pending an investigation into treatment related safety concerns.

ü Regeneron and Bayer have reported data from two Phase 3 trials
investigating VEGF Trap in age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
patients showing that it may be injected into the eye every other month
with safety and efficacy comparable to that of monthly dosing of
Lucentis.
ü On December 20, 2010, Regeneron reported positive Phase 3 data in
the treatment of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) for which Lucentis is
approved.
§ Unlike the AMD trial, monthly administration was used in the RVO
trial, which does not afford a dosing advantage with respect to
Lucentis.
ü An FDA Advisory Committee recommended approval of VEGF Trap
for AMD on June 17, 2011. FDA extended the initial PDUFA date of
August 20, 2011 for AMD to November 18, 2011.
ü On June 7, 2011, Regeneron and Bayer filed an application for AMD
in EU.
ü Regeneron filed suit in February 2011 seeking a summary judgment
that it does not infringe Genentech’s patents and Genentech
countersued in April 2011 asserting that Regeneron is willfully
infringing Genentech’s patents, seeking treble damages and asking for
injunctive relief.

ü FDA and EMEA have included JC virus (JCV) status as a risk factor
for PML in the product label for Tysabri.
§ The EMEA also recommended a five-year renewal of the
Tysabri’s Marketing Authorization in the EU.
§ EMEA Physician Info Document states that risk of PML in:
o JCV- patients is <0.2 per 1000
o JCV+ patients with no prior immunosuppressants is 0.4 per
1000 in first two years
o JCV+ patients with no prior immunosuppressants is 2.6 per
1000 in years 2-4
o JCV+ patients AND prior immunosuppressants AND 2 or
more years is 9 per 1000
o JCV+ = roughly 55% of MS population

ü On January 5, 2011, Roche announced that FDA expanded the
Actemra label to include inhibition and slowing of structural joint
damage, improvement of physical function, and achievement of
major clinical response in adult patients with moderately to
severely active rheumatoid arthritis.
ü On April 18, 2011, FDA approved Actemra to treat patients age 2
and older with active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA).
§ It is the first approved treatment for SJIA, a rare and severe
form of arthritis affecting children.
ü On July 19, 2011, Chugai/Roche announced that a subcutaneous
formulation of Actemra has shown efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis
comparable to the approved intravenous formulation. Based on
these non-inferiority data, the company plans to file for approval
in Japan in 2012.

ü On September 23, 2011, Roche/Genentech announced results
from a Phase 2 trial in first line HER2+ breast cancer patients
which showed a progression free survival of 14.2 months in the T
-DM1 treated patients compared to 9.2 months in the women
treated with combination of Herceptin and docetaxel.
ü Overall response rate was 64.2% in the T-DM1 treated patients
and 58% in the Herceptin and docetaxel treated patients.

from a Phase 2 trial investigating the neoadjuvant (prior to
surgery) use of pertuzumab and Herceptin plus chemotherapy for
the treatment of early-stage, HER2+ breast cancer.
ü Treatment significantly improved the rate of complete tumor
disappearance in the breast by more than half compared to
Herceptin plus docetaxel, p=0.014.
ü On July 15, 2011, Roche/Genentech reported the results from a
Phase 3 trial in pertuzumab plus Herceptin and docetaxel met the
primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) vs. Herceptin
plus docetaxel alone

▪ Notes issued May 16, 2011; conversion rate is 132.6682 / $1,000 face amount ($7.54/share)
▪ Bond hedge effectively increases conversion price to $8.87 / share
▪ Notes “net share settle” and are excluded from diluted EPS
• $180 million 2.875% convertible senior notes due February 2015

32
• $300 million 10.25% secured non-
recourse notes; principal balance of
$115 million as of September 30,
2011
▪ Approximately 40% of Genentech royalties
dedicated to quarterly principal and interest
▪ After retirement, securitized Genentech
royalties will be retained by PDL
• The purpose of restructuring PDL’s
debt is to free up cash for the
acquisition of new royalty assets
Recent Resolution of Legal Disputes
• PDL has resolved all challenges to the Queen et al. Patents in the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European
Patent Office (EPO) as well as its dispute with MedImmune
▪ UCB Pharma
- PDL received $10 million from UCB and PDL agreed not to sue UCB for any royalties
related to Cimzia
- UCB terminated patent interference proceedings before the USPTO and withdrew its
opposition appeal in the EPO
▪ MedImmune
- PDL paid MedImmune $65 million on February 15, 2011, and will pay them an additional
$27.5 million by February 2012
- MedImmune ceased support of any party in the EPO opposition appeal

- PDL acquired BioTransplant, a bankrupt company and instructed BioTransplant to withdraw
its opposition appeal in the EPO
34
Pending Dispute with Genentech and Roche
• In August 2010, Genentech sent a fax on behalf of Roche and Novartis
asserting its products do not infringe PDL’s supplementary protection
certificates (SPCs)
▪ Products include Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis and Xolair
▪ SPCs are patent extensions in Europe that are issued on a country-by-country and product-by
-product basis
• PDL Response
▪ Genentech’s assertions are without merit
▪ PDL disagrees with Genentech’s assertions of non-infringement
▪ Genentech had waived its rights to challenge our patents, including SPCs in its 2003
Settlement Agreement with PDL
• 2003 Settlement Agreement
▪ Resolved intellectual property disputes between the two companies at that time
▪ Limits Genentech’s ability to challenge infringement of PDL’s patent rights, including SPCs,
and waives Genentech’s right to challenge or assist other in challenging the validity of our
patent rights
35
Nevada Lawsuit Against Genentech/Roche
• PDL filed a lawsuit against Genentech and Roche in Nevada state court
▪ Lawsuit states that fax constitutes a breach of 2003 Settlement Agreement because Genentech assisted
Roche in challenging PDL’s patents and SPCs
▪ Complaint seeks compensatory damages, including liquidated damages and other monetary remedies set
forth in the 2003 Settlement Agreement, punitive damages and attorney’s fees
• In November 2010, Genentech and Roche filed two motions to dismiss
▪ They contend that 2003 Settlement Agreement applies only to PDL’s U.S. patents
▪ They asserted that the Nevada court lacks personal jurisdiction over Roche
• On July 11, 2011, court denied Genentech and Roche's motion to dismiss four of PDL's
five claims for relief and denied Roche's separate motion to dismiss for lack of personal
jurisdiction.
▪ The court dismissed one of PDL's claims that Genentech committed a bad-faith breach of the covenant of
good faith and fair dealing
• The court ruling allows PDL to continue to pursue its claims that:
▪ Genentech is obligated to pay royalties to PDL on international sales of the Genentech Products
▪ Genentech, by challenging, at the behest of Roche and Novartis, whether PDL's SPCs cover the Genentech
Products breached its contractual obligations to PDL under the 2003 settlement agreement
▪ Genentech breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing with respect to the 2003 settlement
agreement
▪ Roche intentionally and knowingly interfered with PDL's contractual relationship with Genentech in conscious
disregard of PDL's rights
36
Optimizing Stockholder Return
37
Business Strategy
• Purchase new royalty assets and
ladder like a bond portfolio
▪ Continue to reinvest in new royalty
assets and pay dividends
- Commercial stage products
- Sweet spot $75MM to $150MM
▪ Debt repaid by end of 2015
▪ Company continues as long as it can
generate satisfactory return
• If unable to acquire royalty assets on
attractive terms, build cash reserves
to:
▪ Repay debt
▪ Use all excess cash to pay dividends to
enhance shareholder return
▪ Wind-up company in 2016 timeframe
38
