Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area
Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive (as defined below).
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related free-writing prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of
Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member
State") will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus Directive ("Qualified Investors"). Accordingly any person
making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related free-writing prospectus may only do so with respect to Qualified Investors. Neither we nor
the underwriters have authorised, nor do we or they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes other than to Qualified Investors. The expression
"Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded).
PRIIPs Regulation / Prospectus Directive / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor
means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II"); or
(ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended (the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling
the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Notice to Prospective Investors in the United Kingdom
The communication of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the Notes
offered hereby is not being made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of section 21
of the United Kingdom's Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the "FSMA"). Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not
being distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the general public in the United Kingdom. The communication of such documents and/or materials as
a financial promotion is only being made to those persons in the United Kingdom who have professional experience in matters relating to investments
and who fall within the definition of investment professionals (as defined in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial
Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Financial Promotion Order")), or who fall within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Financial Promotion Order, or
who are any other persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be made under the Financial Promotion Order (all such persons together being referred to
as "relevant persons"). In the United Kingdom, the Notes offered hereby are only available to, and any investment or investment activity to which this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any related free-writing prospectus relates will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any
person in the United Kingdom that is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any
related free-writing prospectus or any of their contents.
MiFID II product governance
MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market In the EEA and solely for the purposes of the product
approval process conducted by any underwriter who is a manufacturer with respect to the Notes for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance
rule under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (each, a "manufacturer"), the manufacturers' target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the
conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and

professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.

Interest payment dates
Every June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2019. If an interest payment date

whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the

payments referenced above to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360
day year consisting of twelve 30 day months), at the Treasury Rate (as defined in this
prospectus supplement) plus 0.100% in the case of the 2022 Notes, plus 0.125% in the case
of the 2024 Notes and plus 0.150% in the case of the 2029 Notes.

security selected by the quotation agent (as defined in this prospectus supplement) as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes of the applicable series to
be redeemed, assuming such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date, that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of such Notes, assuming such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date.

would have been received if no such taxes had been applicable. See "Description of the
Notes--Covenants--Payment of Additional Amounts."

In the event of changes in U.K. or U.S. withholding taxes applicable to payments of
interest, we may redeem the Notes of a series in whole (but not in part) at any time prior to

redemption date. See "Description of Debt Securities--Optional Redemption for Tax
Reasons" in the accompanying prospectus.

unsecured debt obligations of the issuer and GlaxoSmithKline plc, respectively.
Sinking fund
None.
Book-entry issuance, settlement and clearance
We will issue the Notes of each series as global notes in book-entry form registered in the
name of DTC or its nominee. The sale of the Notes will settle in immediately available
funds through DTC. Investors may hold interests in a global note through organizations
that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system. Those organizations will include
Clearstream and Euroclear in Europe.
Governing law
The Notes and the guarantee will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Further issuances
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of a series of Notes, create
and issue further debt securities of the same series having the same terms and conditions in
all respects as the Notes of that series being offered hereby, except for the issue date, the
issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Any such additional debt securities
shall be issued under a separate CUSIP or ISIN number unless the additional debt
securities are issued pursuant to a "qualified reopening" of the original series, are otherwise
treated as part of the same "issue" of debt instruments as the original series or are issued
with no more than a de minimis amount of original discount, in each case for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.
Listing
We intend to list the Notes of each series on the New York Stock Exchange or another
recognized stock exchange.
Use of proceeds
We intend to apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay outstanding
amounts under our acquisition facility incurred to fund our recently completed acquisition
of Tesaro Inc. Drawdowns under the acquisition facility bear interest at a rate equal to the
