`

`ITEM 1: Business
`
`General
`
`PART I
`
`Shire plc and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as either “Shire”, or the “Company”) is fast-becoming a leading biotech
`company, focusing on developing and marketing innovative medicines for patients with rare diseases and other select
`conditions.
`
`The Company has grown both organically and through acquisition, completing a series of major transactions that have brought
`therapeutic, geographic and pipeline growth and diversification. The Company will continue to conduct its own research and
`development (“R&D”), focused on rare diseases, as well as evaluate companies, products and pipeline opportunities that offer
`a strategic fit and have the potential to deliver value to all of the Company’s stakeholders: patients, physicians, policy makers,
`payers, investors and employees.
`
`Strategy
`
`Shire’s purpose is to enable people with life altering conditions to lead better lives.
`
`The Company aspires to be a leading global biotech delivering innovative medicines to patients with rare diseases and other
`specialty conditions. This is underpinned by four strategic drivers:
`
`Growth:
`
` Optimize In-Line assets through commercial excellence
` Advance late-stage pipeline and launch new products
` Accelerate growth through the acquisition of assets in core / adjacent therapeutic areas (“TAs”)
`
`Innovation:
`
` Invest to develop therapeutic advances for diseases with significant unmet need
` Expand rare diseases expertise through internal research and collaborations with external partners
` Extend the Company’s portfolio to new indications and TAs
`
`Efficiency:
`
` Operate a lean and agile organization
` Maintain focus on profitability while investing for future growth
` Retain flexibility to reinvest in high-growth opportunities
`
`People:
`
` Foster and reward a high performance culture
` Attract, develop and retain the best talent
` Live our values
`
`Business model
`
`In 2013 Shire integrated its operations into a simplified “One Shire” organization. The One Shire model has created a simple
`structure and a focused, efficient organization that is scalable for growth. The core elements of this model have been retained
`through multiple acquisitions since its original implementation.
`
`Shire has commercial units that focus exclusively on the commercial execution of its marketed products (the “In-Line” group) in
`the areas of Hereditary Angioedema/Lysomal Storage Diseases (“HAE/LSD”), Neuroscience, Gastrointestinal (“GI”) and
`Internal Medicine, and in Ophthalmics to support the development of Shire’s ophthalmic pipeline candidates. This ensures that
`the Company provides innovative treatments, and services the needs of its customers and patients, as efficiently as possible.
`
`Shire has a single R&D organization (the “Pipeline” group), and early stage research is focused primarily on rare diseases.
`This single structure is designed to ensure Shire explores and develops opportunities built upon its core capabilities, priority
`commercial units and TAs, and also seeks to explore related and emerging areas.
`
`Growth is also fuelled by the acquisition of new companies, in-licensing and new product development opportunities through
`R&D partnerships. Shire’s global corporate development team searches for new technologies, innovative products and
`
`http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/936402/000095010316011313/dp63589_10k.htm
`
`

`

`strategic partnerships. The team engages in conversations with scientists and entrepreneurs on a global basis, while
`collaborating with commercial and R&D experts throughout the Company.
`
`7
`
`http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/936402/000095010316011313/dp63589_10k.htm
`
`

`

`Shire’s support functions, including Technical Operations, are unified across the business to run as efficiently and effectively
`as possible to support the In-Line and Pipeline activities.
`
`Shire leads its business through the Executive Committee, with support from its In-Line Committee, Pipeline Committee and
`Corporate Committee, which comprise senior management from across functions and commercial units to support the In-Line
`products, Pipeline activities and other corporate and group related activity. The Executive Committee is responsible for
`ensuring the appropriate allocation of resources and focused decision making across the enterprise in the best interests of
`Shire’s patients, shareholders and other stakeholders.

`
`ADHD is a chronic neurobehavioral disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity
`that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. Although there
`is no cure for ADHD, there are accepted treatments that have been demonstrated to improve symptoms. Standard treatments
`include educational approaches, psychological therapies that may include behavior modification, and/or medication.
`
`The worldwide prevalence of ADHD is estimated at 5.3% (Am J Psych. 2007). In the US, the prevalence is estimated at
`approximately 12% in the paediatric population aged 3 to 17 years. The diagnosis rate is fairly high with approximately 61% of
`prevalent patients being diagnosed and 66% of these patients being treated with pharmacologic treatment.
`
`In adults the prevalent rates tend to vary widely depending on the sampling scheme and methodology of the study, but the US
`adult prevalence is as high as 10.5% of the population aged 20 plus with less than a third being diagnosed. Of those
`diagnosed, slightly more than half receive pharmacologic treatment.
`
`According to IMS Health National Prescription Audit (“IMS NPA”), a leading global provider of business intelligence for the
`pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, the US ADHD market was valued at approximately $9.6 billion for the twelve months
`ended December 2015; this represents an increase of approximately 8.1% from the twelve months ended December 2014.

`

`The current market dynamics in the US present significant challenges as well as opportunities for growth. While the market
`continues to grow in volume, the growth rate is slowing. We expect this trend to continue given the lack of promoted products,
`increased generic entries and lack of product innovation in the near future. The increased genericization of the market will put
`increasing pressure on prices, particularly with multiple generic entrants for ADDERALL XR and CONCERTA. Cost pressures
`are not only driven by the generics but also by increased price sensitivity of customers – physicians may suggest generics
`anticipating cost concerns for their patients, patients are paying more for their healthcare costs every year, and with the current
`economic conditions their sensitivity has increased as well. While there are no major innovative product launches in the near
`future, we expect several new pediatric-friendly forms such as oral suspension, dissolving tablets, sprinkles, and chewables
`that are expected to launch putting more pressure on the pediatric market.
`
`Within the US the overall ADHD market exists in two distinct parts, pediatric and adult, with different needs and market
`dynamics. The pediatric market is led by long-acting therapies, with CONCERTA the lead product followed closely by
`VYVANSE. This market also had a much higher branded share, almost 50%, though generics are growing. The pediatric
`market is growing, though more slowly than the overall market, and zero to 18 represents just under half of the existing overall
`ADHD market volume. The adult market is dominated by generics, with short-acting therapies and long acting therapies
`showing a basic 50/50 split. Growth rates in the adult market are very strong, particularly in the 25 plus age segment.
`
`VYVANSE
`
`VYVANSE is the first pro-drug stimulant for the treatment of ADHD, where the amino acid l-lysine is linked to d-amphetamine.
`VYVANSE is therapeutically inactive until metabolized in the body.
`
`The FDA approved VYVANSE as a once-daily treatment for children aged 6 to 12 with ADHD in February 2007, for adults in
`April 2008 and for adolescents aged 13 to 17 in November 2010. In addition VYVANSE became the first drug in its class to be
`approved by the FDA for maintenance treatment, having been approved both as a maintenance treatment in adults with ADHD
`in January 2012, and as a maintenance treatment in pediatrics and adolescents aged 6 to 17 in April 2013. VYVANSE is
`available in the US in seven dosage strengths: 10mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, 60mg and 70mg.
`
`VYVANSE was approved by Health Canada for the treatment of ADHD in pediatric patients aged 6 to 12 in February 2009, for
`adolescents and adults in November 2010, and was launched in Canada in January 2010 for pediatric patients and January
`2011 for adolescents and adults.
`
`VENVANSE was granted marketing authorization by ANVISA, the Brazilian health authority, for the treatment of ADHD in
`children aged 6 to12 and launched in May 2011 and launched for adolescents and adults in November 2013.
`
`ELVANSE/TYVENSE received a positive outcome from the European Decentralised Procedure in December 2012. ELVANSE
`is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment program for ADHD in children 6 years of age and over when response to
`previous methylphenidate treatment is considered clinically inadequate. The product has been approved and launched in eight
`countries through the European Decentralised Procedure (UK, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Norway, Finland, Denmark and
`Ireland). The product has also been approved and launched in Switzerland.
`
`ELVANSE ADULT/ELVANSE VUXEN/ADUVANZ received a positive outcome from the European Decentralised Procedure in
`January 2015. ELVANSE ADULT is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment programme for ADHD in adults taking into
`consideration the profile of the patient, including a thorough assessment of the severity and chronicity of the patient’s
`symptoms, the potential for abuse, misuse or diversion and clinical response to any previous pharmacotherapies for the
`treatment of ADHD. The product has been approved and launched in the UK, Sweden and Denmark. The product has also
`been approved and launched in Switzerland.
`
`VYVANSE was also approved in the US in January 2015 as the first and only treatment of moderate to severe BED in adults.
`BED is defined as recurring episodes (more than once weekly), for at least 3 months, of consuming a large amount of food in a
`short time, compared with others. Patients feel a lack of control during a binge eating episode and marked distress over their
`eating. They typically experience shame and guilt, among other symptoms, about their binge eating and may conceal the
`symptoms. Unlike people with other eating disorders, adults with BED don’t routinely try to “undo” their excessive eating with
`extreme actions like purging or over-exercising. BED is the most common eating disorder in the US, affecting an estimated 2.8
`million adults1, according to a national survey. BED occurs in both men and women and is more common than anorexia and
`bulimia combined. BED can occur in normal, overweight, and obese adults, and is seen across racial and ethnic groups.
