ITEM 1.    BUSINESS 

Overview

PART I 

        Theravance, Inc. ("Theravance", the "Company", the "Registrant" or "we" and other similar pronouns) is a royalty management company primarily focused
on maximizing the potential value of the respiratory assets partnered with Glaxo Group Limited ("GSK"), including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (fluticasone
furoate/ vilanterol, "FF/VI") and ANORO® ELLIPTA® (umeclidinium bromide/ vilanterol, "UMEC/VI"), with the intention of providing capital returns to
stockholders. Under the Long-Acting Beta2 Agonist ("LABA") Collaboration Agreement and the Strategic Alliance Agreement with GSK (referred to herein
collectively as the "GSK Agreements"), Theravance is eligible to receive the associated royalty revenues from RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® , ANORO®
ELLIPTA® and if approved and commercialized, VI monotherapy. Theravance is also entitled to 15% of any future payments made by GSK under its agreements
originally entered into with us, and since assigned to Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC ("TRC"), relating to the combination FF/UMEC/VI and the
Bifunctional Muscarinic Antagonist-Beta2 Agonist ("MABA") program. We do not manufacture or sell any of the products commercialized under the GSK
Agreements, as it is the exclusive responsibility of GSK.

        Our headquarters are located at 951 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California 94080. Theravance was incorporated in Delaware in November
1996 under the name Advanced Medicine, Inc. and began operations in May 1997. The Company changed its name to Theravance, Inc. in April 2002.

        On June 1, 2014, we separated our biopharmaceutical research and drug development operations from our late-stage partnered respiratory assets by
transferring our research and drug development operations into our then wholly-owned subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma"). We
contributed $393.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to Theravance Biopharma and all outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma
were then distributed to Theravance stockholders as a pro-rata dividend distribution on June 2, 2014 by issuing one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for
every 3.5 shares held of our common stock to stockholders of record on May 15, 2014 (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off resulted in Theravance Biopharma
operating as an independent publicly-traded company. The results of operations for the former research and drug development operations conducted by us and by
Theravance Biopharma until June 1, 2014 are included as part of this report as discontinued operations.

        As a royalty management company, we have designed our company structure and organization to be focused on managing our respiratory assets with GSK,
the commercial and developmental obligations associated with the GSK Agreements, intellectual property, licensing operations, and providing for certain
essential reporting and management functions of a public company. As of December 31, 2014, we had ten employees. Our revenues consist of royalties and
potential milestone payments, if any, from our respiratory partnership agreements with GSK.

Our Strategy

        Our corporate strategy is focused on stockholder returns by:

1.

Maximizing the potential value of our respiratory assets partnered with GSK; 

Providing capital returns to our stockholders through dividends or share repurchases; 

Reducing our overall corporate cost of capital; and 

Building a long term recurring revenue business.

Our Relationship with GSK

LABA Collaboration

        In November 2002, we entered into our LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK to develop and commercialize once-daily LABA products for the
treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") and asthma. For the treatment of COPD, the collaboration has developed two combination
products: (1) RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (FF/VI) (BREO® ELLIPTA® is the proprietary name in the U.S. and Canada and RELVAR® ELLIPTA® is the
proprietary name outside the U.S. and Canada), a once-daily combination medicine consisting of a LABA, vilanterol (VI), and an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS),
fluticasone furoate (FF) and (2) ANORO® ELLIPTA® (UMEC/VI), a once-daily medicine combining a long-acting muscarinic antagonist ("LAMA"),
umeclidinium bromide (UMEC), with a LABA, VI. Under the collaboration agreements between the parties, GSK and Theravance are exploring various paths to
create triple therapy medications. For the treatment of asthma, RELVAR® ELLIPTA® is approved in multiple regions outside of North America and the
collaboration is further developing FF/VI for the U.S. The FF/VI program is aimed at developing a once-daily combination LABA/ICS to succeed GSK's Advair
® /Seretide™ (salmeterol and fluticasone as a combination) franchise, which had reported 2014 sales of approximately $7.0 billion, and to compete with
Symbicort® (formoterol and budesonide as a combination), which had reported 2014 sales of approximately $3.8 billion. ANORO® ELLIPTA®, which is also a
combination product, is targeted as an alternative treatment option to Spiriva® (tiotropium), a once-daily, single-mechanism bronchodilator, which had reported
2013 sales of approximately $4.7 billion.

        As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, we were obligated to
pay milestone fees to GSK totaling $220.0 million, which we have paid in their entirety as of December 31, 2014. Although we have no further milestone
payment obligations to GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we continue to have ongoing development and commercialization activities under
the GSK Agreements that are expected to continue over the life of the agreements. The milestone fees paid to GSK were recognized as capitalized fees paid to a
related party, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon the commercial launch of the product.

        We are entitled to receive annual royalties from GSK on sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® as follows: 15% on the first $3.0 billion of annual global
net sales and 5% for all annual global net sales above $3.0 billion. Sales of single-agent LABA medicines and combination medicines would be combined for the
purposes of this royalty calculation. For other products combined with a LABA from the LABA collaboration, such as ANORO™ ELLIPTA™, royalties are
upward tiering and range from 6.5% to 10%.

2004 Strategic Alliance

        In March 2004, we entered into the Strategic Alliance Agreement with GSK where GSK received an option to license exclusive development and
commercialization rights to product candidates from certain of pre-Spin-Off our discovery programs on pre-determined terms and on an exclusive, worldwide
basis. Upon GSK's decision to license a program, GSK is responsible for funding all future development, manufacturing and commercialization activities for
product candidates in that program. In addition, GSK is obligated to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize product candidates from any program that
it licenses. If the program is successfully advanced through development by GSK, we are entitled to receive clinical, regulatory and commercial milestone
payments and royalties on any sales of medicines developed from the program. If GSK chooses not to license a program, we retain all rights to the program and
may continue the program alone or with a third party. GSK has no further option rights on any of our research or development programs under the strategic
alliance.

5

Table of Contents

        In 2005, GSK licensed our MABA program for the treatment of COPD, and in October 2011, we and GSK expanded the MABA program by adding six
additional Theravance-discovered preclinical MABA compounds (the "Additional MABAs"). GSK's development, commercialization, milestone and royalty
obligations under the Strategic Alliance Agreement remain the same with respect to GSK961081 ('081), the lead compound in the MABA program. GSK is
obligated to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize at least one MABA within the MABA program, but may terminate progression of any or all
Additional MABAs at any time and return them to us, at which point we may develop and commercialize such Additional MABAs alone or with a third party.
Both GSK and we have agreed not to conduct any MABA clinical studies outside of the strategic alliance so long as GSK is in possession of the Additional
MABAs. If a single-agent MABA medicine containing '081 is successfully developed and commercialized, GSK is required to pay royalties of between 10% and
20% of annual global net sales up to $3.5 billion, and 7.5% for all annual global net sales above $3.5 billion. If a MABA medicine containing '081 is
commercialized as a combination product, such as a '081/FF, the royalty rate is 70% of the rate applicable to sales of the single-agent MABA medicine. For
single-agent MABA medicines containing an Additional MABA, GSK is required to pay royalties of between 10% and 15% of annual global net sales up to
$3.5 billion, and 10% for all annual global net sales above $3.5 billion. For combination products containing an Additional MABA, such as a MABA/ICS
combination, the royalty rate is 50% of the rate applicable to sales of the single-agent MABA medicine. If a MABA medicine containing '081 is successfully
developed and commercialized in multiple regions of the world, GSK could be required to pay total contingent payments of up to $125.0 million for a single-
agent medicine and up to $250.0 million for both a single-agent and a combination medicine. If a MABA medicine containing an Additional MABA is
successfully developed and commercialized in multiple regions of the world, GSK could be required to pay total contingent payments of up to $129.0 million. As
a result of the transactions effected by the Spin-Off, we are only entitled to receive 15% of any contingent payments and royalties payable by GSK from sales of
FF/UMEC/VI (and MABA, and MABA/FF) while Theravance Biopharma receives 85% of those same payments.

Agreements Entered into with GSK in Connection with the Spin-Off

        On March 3, 2014, in contemplation of the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, we, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a series of agreements
clarifying how the companies would implement the Spin-Off and operate following the Spin-Off. We, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a three-way
master agreement providing for GSK's consent to the Spin-Off provided certain conditions were met. In addition, we and GSK also entered into amendments to
the GSK Agreements, and Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a governance agreement, a registration rights agreement and an extension agreement.
The three-way master agreement was effective on June 1, 2014 when we transferred our research and drug development operations to Theravance Biopharma.
Pursuant to a three-way master agreement entered into by and among us, Theravance Biopharma and GSK in connection with the Spin-Off, we agreed to sell a
certain number of Theravance Biopharma shares withheld from a taxable dividend of Theravance Biopharma shares to GSK. After such Theravance Biopharma
shares were sent to the transfer agent, we agreed to purchase the Theravance Biopharma shares from the transfer agent, rather than have them sold on the open
market, in order to satisfy tax withholdings. GSK had a right to purchase these shares of Theravance Biopharma from us, but this right expired unexercised.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, we owned 436,802 ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma.

        The amendments to the GSK Agreements do not change the economics or royalty rates under the GSK Agreements, though the assignment of the Strategic
Alliance Agreement and portions of the LABA Collaboration Agreement to TRC do change how the economics are allocated between Theravance Biopharma
and us. The amendments to the GSK Agreements do provide that GSK's diligent efforts obligations regarding commercialization matters under both agreements
will change

6

Table of Contents

upon regulatory approval in either the United States or the European Union (the "EU") of FF/UMEC/VI or a MABA in combination with FF. Upon such
regulatory approval, GSK's diligent efforts obligations as to commercialization matters under the GSK Agreements will have the objective of focusing on the best
interests of patients and maximizing the net value of the overall portfolio of products under the GSK Agreements. Since GSK's commercialization efforts
following such regulatory approval will be guided by a portfolio approach across products in which we will retain our full interests upon the Spin-Off and also
products in which we have retained only a portion of our interests following the Spin-Off, GSK's commercialization efforts may have the effect of reducing the
overall value of our remaining interests in the GSK Agreements following the Spin-Off.

Purchases of Common Stock by GSK

        Prior to 2014, affiliates of GSK purchased an aggregate of 29.9 million shares of our common stock. During 2014, GSK purchased 1.7 million shares of our
common stock pursuant to its periodic "top-up" rights under our Amended and Restated Governance Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2004, as amended, among us,
GSK and certain GSK affiliates, for an aggregate purchase price of $38.1 million. As of February 12, 2015, GSK beneficially owned approximately 27.1% of our
outstanding capital stock.

In the fourth quarter 2014, sales for RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® by GSK were $62.2 million compared to $25.6 million in the previous
quarter, an increase of approximately 142%, resulting in total sales of $110.9 million in 2014. 

In the fourth quarter 2014, sales for ANORO® ELLIPTA® by GSK were $17.4 million compared to $1.8 million in the previous quarter, a
substantial increase resulting in total sales of $27.4 million in 2014. 

GSK announced that as of January 2015, U.S. Medicare Part D coverage has increased to 76 percent for BREO® ELLIPTA® and to 65 percent for
ANORO® ELLIPTA®. In addition, as of January 2015, 64 percent are insured through commercial plans for BREO® ELLIPTA® and 78 percent
for ANORO® ELLIPTA®. 

A Phase 3 study evaluating the effectiveness of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® compared to other COPD treatments, as measured by the primary
endpoint of the mean annual rate of moderate and severe exacerbations, one of the Salford Lung Studies being conducted, completed enrollment of
2,800 patients. 

GSK secured reimbursement for ANORO® ELLIPTA® via the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) as a long-term once-daily,
maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in adult patients with COPD.

Manufacturing

        Manufacturing of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (FF/VI) and ANORO™ ELLIPTA™ (UMEC/VI) and for the MABA program is handled by GSK.

Government Regulation

        The development and commercialization of products and product candidates pursuant to the GSK Agreements are subject to extensive regulation by
governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. Before marketing in the United States, any medicine must undergo rigorous preclinical studies
and clinical studies and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Outside the United
States, the ability to market a product depends upon receiving a marketing authorization from the appropriate regulatory authorities.

7

Table of Contents

The requirements governing the conduct of clinical studies, marketing authorization, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country. In any
country, the commercialization of medicines is permitted only if the appropriate regulatory authority is satisfied that our collaborative partner has presented
adequate evidence of the safety, quality and efficacy of such medicines.

        Before commencing clinical studies in humans in the United States, our collaborative partner must submit to the FDA an Investigational New Drug
application that includes, among other things, the results of preclinical studies. If the FDA accepts the Investigational New Drug submission, clinical studies are
usually conducted in three phases and under FDA oversight. These phases generally include the following:

Phase 1.    The product candidate is introduced into healthy human volunteers and is tested for safety, dose tolerance and pharmacokinetics.

Phase 2.    The product candidate is introduced into a limited patient population to assess the efficacy of the drug in specific, targeted indications, assess
dosage tolerance and optimal dosage, and identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

Phase 3.    If a compound is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase 2 evaluations, the clinical study will be
expanded to further demonstrate clinical efficacy, optimal dosage and safety within an expanded patient population.

        The results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical studies must be submitted to the FDA as part of a new drug application (NDA). The
NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information. NDAs for new chemical entities are subject to performance goals defined in the Prescription Drug
User Fee Act (PDUFA) which suggests a goal for FDA action within six months of the 60-day filing date for applications that are granted priority review and ten
months of the 60-day filing date for applications that receive standard review. For a product candidate no active ingredient of which has been previously approved
by the FDA, the FDA must either refer the product candidate to an advisory committee for review or provide in the action letter on the application for the product
candidate a summary of the reasons why the product candidate was not referred to an advisory committee prior to approval. In addition, under the 2009 Food and
Drug Administration Amendments Act, the FDA has authority to require submission of a formal Risk Evaluation and Management Strategy (REMS) to ensure
safe use of the product. At the end of the review period, the FDA communicates an approval of the NDA or issues a complete response listing the application's
deficiencies.

        Once approved, the FDA may withdraw the product approval if compliance with pre- and post-marketing regulatory standards is not maintained or if safety
or quality issues are identified after the product reaches the marketplace. In addition, the FDA may require post-marketing studies, referred to as Phase 4 studies,
to monitor the effect of approved products, and may limit further marketing of the product based on the results of these post-marketing studies. The FDA has
broad post-market regulatory and enforcement powers, including the ability to suspend or delay issuance of approvals, seize products, withdraw approvals, enjoin
violations, and institute criminal prosecution.

        If regulatory approval for a medicine is obtained, the clearance to market the product will be limited to those diseases and conditions for which the medicine
is effective, as demonstrated through clinical studies and included in the medicine's labeling. Even if this regulatory approval is obtained, a marketed medicine, its
manufacturer and its manufacturing facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA. The FDA ensures the quality of approved
medicines by carefully monitoring manufacturers' compliance with its cGMP regulations. The cGMP regulations for drugs contain minimum requirements for the
methods, facilities, and controls used in manufacturing, processing, and packaging of a medicine. The regulations are intended to make sure that a medicine is
safe for use, and that it has the ingredients and strength it claims to have. Discovery of previously

8

Table of Contents

unknown problems with a medicine, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the medicine or manufacturer, including costly recalls or withdrawal of
the medicine from the market.

        We and our collaborative partner are also subject to various laws and regulations regarding laboratory practices, the experimental use of animals and the use
and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances in connection with the development and commercialization of products and product candidates. In
each of these areas, as above, the FDA and other regulatory authorities have broad regulatory and enforcement powers, including the ability to suspend or delay
issuance of approvals, seize products, withdraw approvals, enjoin violations, and institute criminal prosecution, any one or more of which could have a material
adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Outside the United States our collaborative partner's ability to market partnered products will also depend on receiving marketing authorizations from the
appropriate regulatory authorities. Risks similar to those associated with FDA approval described above exist with the regulatory approval processes in other
countries.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

        We and our collaborative partner will be able to protect our partnered technology from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that such
technology is covered by valid and enforceable patents or is effectively maintained as trade secrets. Our success in the future will depend in part on us and our
collaborative partner obtaining patent protection for our partnered products and product candidates. Accordingly, patents and other proprietary rights are essential
elements of our business.

        For proprietary know-how that is not patentable, processes for which patents are difficult to enforce and any other elements of our business that involve
proprietary know-how and technology that is not covered by patent applications, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect our
interests. We require all of our employees, consultants and advisors to enter into confidentiality agreements. Where it is necessary to share our proprietary
information or data with outside parties, our policy is to make available only that information and data required to accomplish the desired purpose and only
pursuant to a duty of confidentiality on the part of those parties.

        As of December 31, 2014, we owned 37 issued United States patents and 192 granted foreign patents, as well as additional pending United States patent
applications and foreign patent applications. The claims in these various patents and patent applications are directed to compositions of matter, including claims
covering product candidates, lead compounds and key intermediates, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of use and processes for making our compounds.

        United States issued patents and foreign patents generally expire 20 years after filing. Nevertheless, issued patents can be challenged, narrowed, invalidated
or circumvented, which could limit our ability to stop competitors from marketing similar products and threaten our ability to commercialize our product
candidates. Our patent position, similar to other companies in our industry, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. To maintain
our proprietary position we will need to obtain effective claims and enforce these claims once granted. It is possible that, before any of our products can be
commercialized, any related patent may expire or remain in force only for a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantage of the
patent. Also, we do not know whether any of our patent applications will result in any issued patents or, if issued, whether the scope of the issued claims will be
sufficient to protect our proprietary position.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS 

Risks Related to our Business

For the foreseeable future we will derive all of our royalty revenues from GSK and our future success depends on GSK's ability to successfully develop and
commercialize the products in the respiratory programs partnered with GSK.

        Pursuant to the GSK Agreements, GSK is responsible for the development and commercialization of products in the partnered respiratory programs.
Through December 31, 2014, sales of both BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® by GSK have been significantly below our expectations which
resulted in a decline in our stock price. Although we may receive milestone payments from GSK if certain development milestones are achieved in our MABA
program, we believe that royalty revenues from BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® will represent the majority of our future revenues from GSK.
The amount and timing of revenue from such royalties and milestones is unknown and highly uncertain. Our future success depends upon the performance by
GSK of its commercial obligations under the GSK Agreements. We have no control over GSK's marketing and sales efforts, and GSK might not be successful,
which would harm our business and cause the price of our securities to fall.

        The amount of royalties and milestone payments, if any, we receive will depend on many factors, including the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the competitive landscape for approved products and developing therapies that compete with our partnered products, including other products
owned by GSK (such as Advair®) but which are not partnered with us and pricing pressure in the respiratory markets targeted by our partnered
products; 

the ability of patients to be able to afford our partnered products or obtain health care coverage that covers our partnered products; 

acceptance of, and ongoing satisfaction with, our partnered products by the medical community, patients receiving therapy and third party payors; 

a satisfactory efficacy and safety profile as demonstrated in a broad patient population; 

the size of the market for our partnered products; 

the extent and effectiveness of the sales and marketing and distribution support GSK provides our partnered products; 

safety concerns in the marketplace for respiratory therapies in general and with our partnered products in particular;

11

Table of Contents

•

•

•

•

•

•

regulatory developments relating to the manufacture or continued use of our partnered products; 

decisions as to the timing of product launches, pricing and discounts; 

GSK's ability to expand the indications for which our partnered products can be marketed; 

GSK's ability to successfully achieve development milestones with respect to our partnered MABA program; 

GSK's ability to obtain regulatory approval of our partnered products in additional countries; or 

the unfavorable outcome of any potential litigation relating to our partnered products.

Reductions on pricing and reimbursement from governments, payors, or other healthcare cost containment initiatives such as restrictions on use, may
negatively impact royalties generated under the GSK Agreements.

        The continuing efforts of governments, pharmaceutical benefit management organizations (PBMs), insurance companies, managed care organizations and
other payors of health care costs to contain or reduce costs of health care has adversely affected the price, market access, and total revenues of BREO®
ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® and may continue to adversely affect them in the future.

        The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and other potential legislative or regulatory action regarding healthcare and insurance matters, along with the
trend toward managed healthcare in the U.S., could adversely influence the purchase of healthcare products and reduce demand and prices for our partnered
products. This could harm GSK's ability to market our partnered products and significantly reduce future revenues. For example, when GSK launched BREO®
ELLIPTA® for the treatment of COPD in the U.S. in October 2013, GSK experienced significant challenges gaining coverage at some of the largest PBMs,
healthcare payors, and providers and lower overall prices that expected. Recent actions by U.S. PBMs in particular have increased discount levels for respiratory
products resulting in lower net sales pricing realized for products in our collaboration. Further, if the ongoing Phase 3b studies with FF/VI do not show improved
outcomes relative to the standard of care, obtaining payor coverage for RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® could become more difficult in the future. In addition, in
certain foreign markets, the pricing of prescription drugs is subject to government control and reimbursement may in some cases be unavailable. We believe that
pricing pressures will continue and may increase. This may make it difficult for GSK to sell our partnered products a price acceptable to us or GSK or to generate
revenues in-line with our analysts' expectations, which may cause the price of our securities to fall.

If the commercialization of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® or ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the countries in which they have received regulatory approval
encounters any delays or adverse developments, or perceived delays or adverse developments, or if sales or payor coverage do not meet investor or our
expectations, our business will be harmed, and the price of our securities could fall.

        Under our agreements with our collaborative partner GSK, GSK has full responsibility for commercialization of RELVAR®/ BREO® ELLIPTA® and
ANORO® ELLIPTA®. GSK has launched RELVAR®/ BREO® ELLIPTA® in a number of countries including the United States (U.S.), Canada, Japan, the
United Kingdom, and Germany among others. The commercial launch of both products has been below our expectations primarily due to lower overall pricing
levels in the U.S. and a longer timeframes to obtain payor coverage. For example, GSK recently stated that it has experienced more restrictive formulary access
and lower net pricing in the U.S. respiratory market than it expected, which may indicate broader weakness in the respiratory markets targeted by RELVAR®/
BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®. As a result, a number of analysts have adjusted their sales forecasts downward from previous projections. Any
further delays or adverse developments or perceived

12

Table of Contents

additional delays or adverse developments with respect to the commercialization of RELVAR®/ BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® including if
sales or payor coverage do not meet investor or our expectations, will significantly harm our business and the price of our securities could fall.

If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") does not approve the supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") for a fixed dose combination of
FF/VI as a once-daily treatment for asthma in patients aged 12 years and older, or if the PDUFA date is extended, or if the approval contains restrictions or
limitations on usage, our business will be significantly harmed, and the price of our securities could fall.

        In June 2014, we and GSK announced the submission of a sNDA to the FDA for a fixed dose combination of FF/VI as a once-daily treatment for asthma in
patients aged 12 years and older. The FDA determined the action target date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-V) to be April 30, 2015 and
recently the FDA announced that on March 19, 2015, the FDA's Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management
Advisory Committee will discuss the sNDA. Any adverse developments, results or delays or perceived adverse developments, results or delays with respect to the
asthma sNDA, the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee meeting, or the FF/VI Phase 3
program will significantly harm our business and could cause the market price of our securities to decline. Examples of such adverse developments include, but
are not limited to:

•

•

•

not every study, nor every dose in every study, in the Phase 3 asthma program for FF/VI achieved its primary endpoint and regulatory authorities
may determine that additional clinical studies are required; 

safety, efficacy or other concerns arising from clinical or non-clinical studies in these programs, other studies of FF/VI, or previous studies with
other LABAs; and 

any change in FDA policy or guidance regarding the use of LABAs to treat asthma.

        On February 18, 2010, the FDA announced that LABAs should not be used alone in the treatment of asthma and it will require manufacturers to include this
warning in the product labels of these drugs, along with taking other steps to reduce the overall use of these medicines. The FDA now requires that the product
labels for LABA medicines reflect, among other things, that the use of LABAs is contraindicated without the use of an asthma controller medication such as an
inhaled corticosteroid, that LABAs should only be used long-term in patients whose asthma cannot be adequately controlled on asthma controller medications,
and that LABAs should be used for the shortest duration of time required to achieve control of asthma symptoms and discontinued, if possible, once asthma
control is achieved. In addition, in March 2010, the FDA held an Advisory Committee to discuss the design of medical research studies (known as "clinical trial
design") to evaluate serious asthma outcomes (such as hospitalizations, a procedure using a breathing tube known as intubation, or death) with the use of LABAs
in the treatment of asthma in adults, adolescents, and children. Further, in April 2011, the FDA announced that to further evaluate the safety of LABAs, it is
requiring the manufacturers of currently marketed LABAs to conduct additional randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials comparing the addition of
LABAs to inhaled corticosteroids versus inhaled corticosteroids alone. Results from these post-marketing studies are expected in 2017. It is unknown at this time
what, if any, effect these or future FDA actions will have on the prospects for FF/VI. The current uncertainty regarding the FDA's position on LABAs for the
treatment of asthma and the lack of consensus expressed at the March 2010 Advisory Committee may result in the FDA requiring additional asthma clinical trials
in the U.S. for FF/VI and increase the overall risk of FF/VI for the treatment of asthma in the U.S. We cannot predict the extent to which new FDA policy or
guidance might significantly impede the discovery, development, production and marketing of FF/VI. Any adverse change in FDA

13

Table of Contents

policy or guidance regarding the use of LABAs to treat asthma may significantly harm our business and the price of our securities could fall.

Any adverse developments to the regulatory status of either RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® or ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the countries in which they have
received regulatory approval including labeling restrictions, safety findings, or any other limitation to usage, will harm our business and may cause the price
of our securities to fall.

        Although RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® or ANORO® ELLIPTA® are approved and marketed in a number of countries, it is possible that adverse changes
to the regulatory status of these products could occur in the event new safety issues are identified, treatment guidelines are changed, or new studies fail to
demonstrate product benefits. A number of notable pharmaceutical products have experienced adverse developments during commercialization that have resulted
in the product being withdrawn, approved uses being limited, or new warnings being included. In the event that any adverse regulatory change were to occur to
any of our products, our business will be harmed and the price of our securities will fall.

Any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to the ongoing Phase 3 programs for FF/VI in asthma or
COPD, for UMEC/VI in COPD, or any future studies will significantly harm our business and the price of our securities could fall, and if regulatory
authorities in those countries in which approval has not yet been granted determine that the Phase 3 programs for FF/VI in asthma or COPD or the Phase 3
programs for UMEC/VI for COPD do not demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy, the continued development of FF/VI or UMEC/VI or both may be
significantly delayed, they may not be approved by these regulatory authorities, and even if approved it may be subject to restrictive labeling, any of which will
harm our business, and the price of our securities could fall.

        Although we have announced the completion of, and reported certain top-line data from, the Phase 3 registrational program for FF/VI in COPD and asthma,
additional studies of FF/VI are underway. The Phase 3b program for FF/VI in COPD commenced in February 2011. Any adverse developments or perceived
adverse developments with respect to the asthma sNDA, the COPD Phase 3b program or any future studies in these programs will significantly harm our business
and the price of our securities could fall.

        Although the FDA, the European Medicines Agency, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and Health Canada have approved ANORO®
ELLIPTA®, it has not yet been approved in other countries. Any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to
other pending or future regulatory submissions for the FF/VI program or the UMEC/VI program will significantly harm our business and the price of our
securities could fall. Examples of such adverse developments include, but are not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

not every study, nor every dose in every study, in the Phase 3 programs for FF/VI achieved its primary endpoint and regulatory authorities may
determine that additional clinical studies are required; 

safety, efficacy or other concerns arising from clinical or non-clinical studies in these programs having to do with the LABA VI, which is a
component of FF/VI and UMEC/VI; 

safety, efficacy or other concerns arising from clinical or non-clinical studies in these programs; 

regulatory authorities determining that the Phase 3 programs in asthma or in COPD raise safety concerns or do not demonstrate adequate efficacy;
or 

any change in FDA policy or guidance regarding the use of LABAs to treat asthma or the use of LABAs combined with a LAMA to treat COPD.

Table of Contents

RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® face substantial competition for their intended uses in the targeted markets from products
discovered, developed, launched and commercialized both by GSK and by other pharmaceutical companies, which could cause the royalties payable to us
pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement to be less than expected, which in turn would harm our business and the price of our securities could fall.

        GSK has responsibility for obtaining regulatory approval, launching and commercializing RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® for
their intended uses in the targeted markets around the world. While these products have received regulatory approval and been launched and commercialized in
the U.S. and certain other targeted markets, the products face substantial competition from existing products previously developed and commercialized both by
GSK and by other competing pharmaceutical companies and can expect to face additional competition from new products that are discovered, developed and
commercialized by the same pharmaceutical companies and other competitors going forward. For example, sales of Advair®, GSK's approved medicine for both
COPD and asthma, continue to be significantly greater than sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, and GSK has indicated publicly that it intends to continue
commercializing Advair®.

        Many of the pharmaceutical companies competing in respiratory markets are international in scope with substantial financial, technical and personnel
resources that permit them to discover, develop, obtain regulatory approval and commercialize new products in a highly efficient and low cost manner at
competitive prices to consumers. In addition, many of these competitors have substantial commercial infrastructures that facilitate commercializing their products
in a highly efficient and low cost manner at competitive prices to consumers. The market for products developed for treatment of COPD and asthma continues to
experience significant innovation and reduced cost in bringing products to market over time. There can be no assurance that RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and
ANORO® ELLIPTA® will not be replaced by new products that are deemed more effective at lower cost to consumers. The ability of RELVAR®/BREO®
ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® to succeed and achieve the anticipated level of sales depends on the commercial and development performance of GSK to
achieve and maintain a competitive advantage over other products with the same intended use in the targeted markets.

        If sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® are less than anticipated because of existing or future competition in the markets in
which they are commercialized, including competition from existing and new products that are perceived as lower cost or more effective, our royalty payments
will be less than anticipated, which in turn would harm our business and the price of our securities could fall.

We and GSK are developing UMEC/VI/FF (LAMA/LABA/ICS) and MABA/FF as potential triple combination treatments for COPD and, potentially, asthma.
As a result of the Spin-Off, most of our economic rights in these programs were assigned to Theravance Biopharma, Inc. If these programs are successful
and GSK and the respiratory market in general views triple combination therapy as significantly more beneficial than existing therapies, including
RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could fall.

        Under our LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK, we and GSK are exploring various paths to create triple therapy respiratory medications. The use of
triple therapy is supported by the GOLD ("Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease") guidelines in high-risk patients with severe COPD and a high
risk of exacerbations. One potential triple therapy path is the combination of UMEC/VI (two separate bronchodilators) and FF (an inhaled corticosteroid), to be
administered via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler, referred to as UMEC/VI/FF or the "closed triple." Prior to the Spin-Off, we were entitled to receive 100% of
any royalties payable under the GSK Agreements arising from sales of UMEC/VI/FF (as well as MABA and MABA/FF) if such products were successfully
developed, approved and commercialized. In July 2014, we and GSK announced the initiation of a

15

Table of Contents

large, global Phase 3 study for the closed triple in patients with COPD. If this Phase 3 study (or any other closed triple Phase 3 studies that may be initiated in the
future) is successful, GSK and the respiratory market in general may view this triple combination therapy as significantly more beneficial than existing therapies,
including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®. In such event the commercialization of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO®
ELLIPTA® could be adversely affected, which in turn could result in lower royalties to us. Furthermore, if the closed triple (or MABA /FF) receives regulatory
approval in either the U.S. or the EU, GSK's diligent efforts obligations regarding commercialization matters will have the objective of focusing on the best
interests of patients and maximizing the net value of the overall portfolio of products under the GSK Agreements. Since GSK's commercialization efforts
following such regulatory approval will be guided by a portfolio approach across products in which we have retained our full interest and also products in which
we now have only a small portion of our former interest, GSK's commercialization efforts may have the effect of reducing the overall value of our remaining
interests in the GSK Agreements in the future. As a result of the transactions effected by the Spin-Off, however, we are now only entitled to receive 15% of any
contingent payments and royalties payable by GSK from sales of FF/UMEC/VI (and MABA, and MABA/FF) while Theravance Biopharma receives 85% of
those same payments.

We have ongoing discussions with the SEC staff about the way we present and account for the different payments made and received under the LABA
Collaboration Agreement in our current and historic financial statements. In the event the SEC staff disagrees with our accounting we may be required to
restate prior financial statements which could, among other potential adverse effects, result in us incurring substantial costs, affect our ability to timely file
our periodic reports, divert the attention of our management and employees and cause our stock price to decline.

        Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to interpret accounting principles and guidance and make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue
generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. For instance, pursuant to GAAP, we are required to present and characterize the different payments
made and received under the LABA Collaboration Agreement. Our most critical accounting estimates are described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our interpretations, estimates and judgments are based on
our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the
preparation of our financial statements. GAAP presentation is subject to interpretation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and various other bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles and guidance. In the
event that one of these bodies disagrees with our accounting recognition, measurement or disclosure or any of our accounting interpretations, estimates or
assumptions, it may have a significant effect on our reported results and may retroactively affect previously reported results.

        The SEC routinely reviews the periodic filings of public companies. For instance, we received in April 2014 a comment letter from the staff of the SEC in
connection with a routine review of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 relating to our amortization of intangible assets and
recognition of amortization charges associated with the LABA Collaboration Agreement. We responded to the comment letter in May 2014 and the SEC did not
inquire further regarding the matters raised in the comment letter. More recently, the SEC inquired regarding our historical and current recognition of the up-front
and milestone payments received from GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement between 2002 and 2006, and the milestone fees paid by us to GSK
in 2013 and 2014. We are currently engaged in discussions with the SEC staff regarding our

16

Table of Contents

recognition of the payments made and received under the LABA Collaboration Agreement. While we believe that our historical accounting related to the LABA
Collaboration Agreement is appropriate and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the SEC reserves the right to make further
inquiries regarding our accounting treatment regarding the payments made and received under the LABA Collaboration Agreement. If the SEC disagrees with our
accounting treatment, we may be required to restate our financial statements for prior periods. The need to restate our financial results could, among other
potential adverse effects, result in us incurring substantial costs, affect our ability to timely file our periodic reports until such restatement is completed, divert the
attention of our management and employees from managing our business, result in material changes to our historical and future financial results, result in
investors losing confidence in our operating results, and cause our stock price to decline.

        In addition, a restatement could also subject us to securities class action litigation. Defending against such potential litigation relating to a restatement of our
financial statements would be expensive and would require significant attention and resources of our management. Moreover, our insurance to cover our
obligations with respect to the ultimate resolution of any such litigation may be inadequate. As a result of these factors, any such potential litigation could have a
material adverse effect on our financial results and cause our stock price to decline.

We were relying significantly upon Theravance Biopharma for a variety of services following the Spin-Off during which time we established our own
separate administrative infrastructure, systems and controls to enable us to function as an independent public company and, if the new administrative
infrastructure, systems and controls do not perform as expected, our business will be harmed and the price of our securities could fall.

        Under the terms of a transition services agreement entered into between us and Theravance Biopharma, Theravance Biopharma has provided us with a
variety of administrative services following the Spin-Off, including (i) record keeping support, (ii) finance, tax and accounting support to assist us in a secondary
capacity to our own personnel, (iii) legal support, (iv) human resources support and (v) facilities support to the extent we continue to occupy separate space at our
current South San Francisco, California facilities. We relied on Theravance Biopharma for execution of these administrative activities through a transition period
extending into early 2015, which is a period when Theravance Biopharma personnel were highly focused on supporting its own new public company operations.
We are in the process of establishing our own stand-alone capabilities, controls and systems including finance, tax, accounting, human resources, and IT systems,
among others that are properly suited to our new post-spin business operations and to support our ongoing operations as an independent public company. If our
new administrative infrastructure should cause us to be unable to comply with the accounting and legal standards required of publicly traded companies, our
business and our reputation will be harmed, and the price of our securities could fall.

On June 2, 2014, we completed the separation of our businesses into two independent, publicly traded companies by separating our late-stage partnered
respiratory assets from our biopharmaceutical operations; the lengthy, complicated process to separate the two businesses has diverted the attention of our
management and employees, and has increased our professional services expenses in 2014 and will continue to do so in early 2015.

        On April 25, 2013, we announced our intention to separate our businesses into two independent, publicly traded companies. On August 1, 2013, the
company to be spun-off, Theravance Biopharma, filed a preliminary Form 10 with the SEC, and subsequent amendments throughout 2013 and the spring of 2014.
The Spin-Off was completed on June 2, 2014. Theravance continues to be responsible for all development and commercial activities under the GSK Agreements.
Theravance is eligible to receive the associated royalty revenues from FF/VI (RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®), UMEC/VI (ANORO®

17

Table of Contents

ELLIPTA®) and potentially VI monotherapy and 15% of the aggregate potential royalty revenues payable to Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC from
UMEC/VI/FF, MABA, and MABA/FF and other products that may be developed under the GSK Agreements. Theravance Biopharma is now a separate and
independent publicly traded biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule medicines in areas of
significant unmet medical need.

        In conjunction with the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, on March 3, 2014, we, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a series of agreements
clarifying how the companies would implement the separation and operate following the Spin-Off. We, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a three-way
master agreement providing for GSK's consent to the Spin-Off provided certain conditions were met. We and GSK also entered into amendments of the GSK
Agreements. The master agreement and the other agreements are all currently effective.

        The amendments to the GSK Agreements do not change the royalty rates or other economic terms. The amendments do provide that GSK's diligent efforts
obligations regarding commercialization matters under both agreements will change upon regulatory approval in either the U.S. or the EU of UMEC/VI/FF or a
MABA combined with FF. Upon such regulatory approval, GSK's diligent efforts obligations as to commercialization matters under the GSK Agreements will
have the objective of focusing on the best interests of patients and maximizing the net value of the overall portfolio of products under the GSK Agreements. Since
GSK's commercialization efforts following such regulatory approval will be guided by a portfolio approach across products in which we have retained our full
interest and also products in which we now have only a small portion of our former interest, GSK's commercialization efforts may have the effect of reducing the
overall value of our remaining interests in the GSK Agreements in the future.

        The process of planning for and effecting the business separation demanded a significant amount of time and effort from our management and certain
employees, continued to do so in 2014 and will continue to do so until early 2015. The diversion of our management's and employees' attention to the business
separation process and the post-separation transition has disrupted and may continue to disrupt our operations and may adversely impact our relationship with
GSK and increase employee turnover.

        We cannot assure you that we will not undertake additional restructuring activities, that the business separation will succeed in meeting our objectives and
increasing stockholder value, or that the actual results will not differ materially from the results that we anticipate.

        We have incurred and will continue to incur significant expenditures for professional services in connection with the business separation and our post-
separation operations, including financial advisory, accounting and legal fees.

        Under the terms of a separation and distribution agreement entered into between us and Theravance Biopharma, Theravance Biopharma will indemnify us
from (i) all debts, liabilities and obligations transferred to Theravance Biopharma in connection with the Spin-Off (including its failure to pay, perform or
otherwise promptly discharge any such debts, liabilities or obligations after the Spin-Off), (ii) any misstatement or omission of a material fact in its information
statement filed with the SEC, resulting in a misleading statement and (iii) any breach by it of certain agreements entered into between the parties in connection
with the Spin-Off. Theravance Biopharma's ability to satisfy these indemnities, if called upon to do so, will depend upon its future financial strength and if we are
not able to collect on indemnification rights from Theravance Biopharma, our financial condition may be harmed.

We may not be able to utilize all of our net operating loss carryforwards.

        We have net operating loss carryforwards and other significant U.S. tax attributes that we believe could offset otherwise taxable income in the U.S. As a part
of the overall Spin-Off transaction, the transfer of certain assets by us to Theravance Biopharma and our distribution of Theravance Biopharma ordinary shares
resulted in taxable transfers pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and Treasury Regulations. The
taxable gain recognized by us attributable to the transfer of certain assets to Theravance Biopharma will generally equal the excess of the fair market value of
each asset transferred over our adjusted tax basis in such asset. Although we will not recognize any gain with respect to the cash we transferred to Theravance
Biopharma, we may recognize substantial gain based on the fair market value of the other assets (other than cash) transferred to Theravance Biopharma. The
determination of the fair market value of these assets is subjective and could be subject to adjustments or future challenge by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS"), which could result in an increase in the amount of gain realized by us as a result of the transfer. Our U.S. federal income tax resulting from any gain
recognized upon the transfer of our assets to Theravance Biopharma (including any increased U.S. federal income tax that may result from a subsequent
determination of higher fair market values for the transferred assets), may be reduced by our net operating loss carryforward. The net operating loss carryforwards
available in any year to offset our net taxable income will be reduced following a more than 50% change in ownership during any period of 36 consecutive
months (an "ownership change") as determined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). As of December 31, 2014, we have conducted an analysis
to determine whether an ownership change had occurred since inception through December 31, 2014, and concluded that we had undergone two ownership
changes in prior years. We have approximately $1.4 billion of net operating loss carryforward available during 2014. We currently expect our net operating losses
to be fully available to offset current year net taxable income after taking into account the taxable nature of the Spin-Off. With respect to our remaining net
operating losses of approximately $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2014, there may be certain annual limitations for utilization based on the above-described
ownership change provisions. In addition, we may not be able to have sufficient future taxable income prior to their expiration because net operating losses have
carryforward periods. Future changes in federal and state tax laws pertaining to net operating loss carryforwards may also cause limitations or restrictions from us
claiming such net operating losses. If the net operating loss carryforwards become unavailable to us or are fully utilized, our future taxable income will not be
shielded from federal and state income taxation absent certain U.S. federal and state tax credits, and the funds otherwise available for general corporate purposes
would be reduced.

Our stockholders who received ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma in the Spin-Off and/or dividends we paid during 2014 could incur significant U.S.
federal income tax liabilities as a result of the distributions.

        The Theravance Biopharma ordinary shares received by our stockholders in the Spin-Off and dividends we paid during 2014, are expected to be taxable to
stockholders. An amount equal to the fair market value of Theravance Biopharma ordinary shares received (including any fractional shares deemed to be
received) on the distribution date, and/or the dividends we paid in 2014, will be treated as a taxable dividend to the extent of each Theravance stockholder's
ratable share of any current and accumulated earnings and profits of Theravance, measured as of the end of 2014, with the excess treated as a non-taxable return
of capital to the extent of such stockholder's tax basis in our common stock and any remaining excess treated as a capital gain. Accordingly, Theravance
stockholders who received ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma in the Spin-Off and/or dividends during 2014 could incur significant U.S. federal income
tax liabilities as a result of the distribution. We periodically update Form 8937—Report of Organizational Actions Affecting Basis of Securities, which we post on
our website, in order to provide investors with relevant information associated with the distributions.

The Spin-Off resulted in substantial changes in our Board, management, and employees. If we fail to hire and effectively integrate new executive officers into
our organization, the future development and commercialization of our product candidates may suffer, harming future regulatory approvals, sales of our
product candidates or our results of operations.

        Since the Spin-Off, substantially all of our directors and senior management team has changed. Our current board and management team has only been
working together for a relatively short period of time. In addition, Rick E Winningham resigned as our president and chief executive officer effective as of
August 15, 2014 and as chairman of our Board and as a director effective as of October 30, 2014. We have appointed Michael W. Aguiar as our chief executive
officer and as a member of our Board and appointed Eric d'Esparbes as our chief financial officer. We expect to continue to expand our management team in the
future. Our future performance will depend significantly on our ability to successfully integrate our new directors into our Board and our new chief executive
officer, chief financial officer and other recently and subsequently hired executive officers into our management team, and on those individuals' ability to develop
and maintain an effective working relationship. Our failure to integrate recently and subsequently appointed directors and executive officers, including our new
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with other members of management could result in inefficiencies in the conduct of our business, which can
adversely affect our results of operations.

If any product candidates in any respiratory program partnered with GSK are not approved by regulatory authorities or are determined to be unsafe or
ineffective in humans, our business will be adversely affected and the price of our securities could fall.

        The FDA must approve any new medicine before it can be marketed and sold in the U.S. Our partner GSK must provide the FDA and similar foreign
regulatory authorities with data from preclinical and clinical studies that demonstrate that the product candidates are safe and effective for a defined indication
before they can be approved for commercial distribution. GSK will not obtain this approval for a partnered product candidate unless and until the FDA approves a
NDA. The processes by which regulatory approvals are obtained from the FDA to market and sell a new product are complex, require a number of years and
involve the expenditure of substantial resources. In order to market medicines in foreign countries, separate regulatory approvals must be obtained in each
country. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing, and the time required to obtain approval may differ from that required
to obtain FDA approval. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and approval by one foreign regulatory
authority does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or by the FDA. Conversely, failure to obtain approval in one or more
country may make approval in other countries more difficult.

        Clinical studies involving product candidates partnered with GSK may reveal that those candidates are ineffective, inferior to existing approved medicines,
unacceptably toxic, or that they have other unacceptable side effects. In addition, the results of preclinical studies do not necessarily predict clinical success, and
larger and later-stage clinical studies may not produce the same results as earlier-stage clinical studies.

        Frequently, product candidates that have shown promising results in early preclinical or clinical studies have subsequently suffered significant setbacks or
failed in later clinical or non-clinical studies. In addition, clinical and non-clinical studies of potential products often reveal that it is not possible or practical to
continue development efforts for these product candidates. If these studies are substantially delayed or fail to prove the safety and effectiveness of product
candidates in development partnered with GSK, GSK may not receive regulatory approval for such product candidates and our business and financial condition
will be materially harmed and the price of our securities may fall.

        Several well-publicized Complete Response letters issued by the FDA and safety-related product withdrawals, suspensions, post-approval labeling revisions
to include boxed warnings and changes in approved indications over the last several years, as well as growing public and governmental scrutiny of safety issues,
have created a conservative regulatory environment. The implementation of new laws and regulations and revisions to FDA clinical trial design guidance have
increased uncertainty regarding the approvability of a new drug. Further, there are additional requirements for approval of new drugs, including advisory
committee meetings for new chemical entities, and formal risk evaluation and mitigation strategy at the FDA's discretion. These laws, regulations, additional
requirements and changes in interpretation could cause non-approval or further delays in the FDA's review and approval of any product candidates in any
respiratory program partnered with GSK.

Even if product candidates in any respiratory program partnered with GSK receive regulatory approval, as is the case with RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®
and ANORO® ELLIPTA®, commercialization of such products may be adversely affected by regulatory actions and oversight.

        Even if GSK receives regulatory approval for product candidates in any respiratory program partnered with GSK, this approval may include limitations on
the indicated uses for which GSK can market the medicines or the patient population that may utilize the medicines, which may limit the market for the medicines
or put GSK at a competitive disadvantage relative to alternative therapies. These restrictions make it more difficult to market the approved products.

        In addition, the manufacturing, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for the approved product remain
subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements. If we or GSK become aware of previously unknown problems with an approved product in the U.S. or
overseas or at contract manufacturers' facilities, a regulatory authority may impose restrictions on the product, the contract manufacturers or on GSK, including
requiring it to reformulate the product, conduct additional clinical studies, change the labeling of the product, withdraw the product from the market or require the
contract manufacturer to implement changes to its facilities. GSK is also subject to regulation by regional, national, state and local agencies, including the
Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other
regulatory bodies as well as governmental authorities in those foreign countries in which any of the product candidates in any respiratory program partnered with
GSK are approved for commercialization. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act and other federal and state statutes and
regulations govern to varying degrees the research, development, manufacturing and commercial activities relating to prescription pharmaceutical products,
including non-clinical and clinical testing, approval, production, labeling, sale, distribution, import, export, post-market surveillance, advertising, dissemination of
information and promotion. Any failure to maintain regulatory approval will limit GSK's ability to commercialize the product candidates in any respiratory
program partnered with GSK, which would materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition and which may cause the price of our securities to
fall.

We have incurred operating losses in each year since our inception and will continue to incur losses until royalties from the sales of RELVAR®/BREO®
ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® exceed total expenses, including interest expenses, and our revenues and operating results will likely fluctuate in
future periods.

        From mid-1997 until the Spin-Off, we were engaged in discovering and developing compounds and product candidates and we never generated sufficient
revenue from the sale of medicines or royalties on sales by our partners to achieve sustained profitability. As of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $1.7 billion. Although we expect to have a substantial reduction in our expenses in future periods as a result of the Spin-Off, we will
continue to incur losses until royalties from the sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® exceed total expenses, including interest
expenses, and our revenues and operating results will likely fluctuate from

21

Table of Contents

period to period. We are uncertain when or if we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability. Failure to become and remain profitable would adversely affect
the price of our securities, our ability to return capital to stockholders and continue operations.

We may not be successful in our efforts to expand our portfolio of royalty generating products.

        In the future, we may choose to acquire rights to one or more additional royalty generating products. However, we may be unable to license or acquire rights
to suitable royalty generating products for a number of reasons. In particular, the licensing and acquisition of pharmaceutical product rights is a competitive area.
Several more established companies are also pursuing strategies to license or acquire rights to royalty generating products. These established companies may have
a competitive advantage over us. Other factors that may prevent us from licensing or otherwise acquiring rights to suitable royalty generating products include the
following:

•

•

•

we may be unable to license or acquire the rights on terms that would allow us to make an appropriate return from the product; 

companies that perceive us to be their competitors may be unwilling to assign or license their product rights to us; or 

we may be unable to identify suitable royalty generating products.

        If we are unable to acquire or license rights to suitable royalty generating product candidates, our business may suffer.

We have a significant amount of debt including Convertible Subordinated Notes and Fixed Rate Royalty notes that are senior in capital structure and cash
flow, respectively, to our common stockholders. Satisfying the obligations relating to our debt could adversely affect the amount or timing of distributions to
our stockholders.

        As of December 31, 2014 we had approximately $725.6 million in total long-term liabilities outstanding, comprised primarily of $255.1 million in principal
that remains outstanding under our 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") and $470.5 million in principal that remains outstanding
under our 9% Fixed Rate Royalty term notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes" and with the 2023 Notes, the "Notes"). The 2023 Notes are unsecured debt and are not
redeemable by us prior to the maturity date. Holders of the Notes may require us to purchase all or any portion of their Notes at 100% of their principal amount,
plus any unpaid interest, upon a fundamental change. A fundamental change is generally defined to include a merger involving us, an acquisition of a majority of
our outstanding common stock, and the change of a majority of our board without the approval of the board. In addition, to the extent we pursue and complete a
monetization transaction, the structure of such transaction may qualify as a fundamental change under the Notes, which could trigger the put rights of the holders
of the Notes, in which case we would be required to use a portion of the net proceeds from such transaction to repurchase any Notes put to us. Our 2029 Notes
have rights to 40% of all royalty payments received from GSK related to RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, ANORO® ELLIPTA®, and VI monotherapy until the
notes are paid in full.

        Satisfying the obligations of this debt could adversely affect the amount or timing of any distributions to our stockholders. We may choose to satisfy
repurchase, or refinance this debt through public or private equity or debt financings if we deem such financings available on favorable terms. If any or all of the
Convertible Subordinated Notes are not converted into shares of our common stock before the maturity date, we will have to pay the holders the full aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. If the Fixed Rate Royalty are not refinanced or paid in full, then they will receive 40% of all future economics
associated with RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, ANORO® ELLIPTA®, and VI monotherapy, until the notes are paid in full. Any of the above payments could
have a material adverse effect on our cash position. If we fail to satisfy these obligations, it may result

22

Table of Contents

in a default under the indenture, which could result in a default under certain of our other debt instruments, if any. Any such default would harm our business and
the price of our securities could fall.

If we lose key management personnel, or if we fail to retain our key employees, our ability to manage our business will be impaired.

        Following the Spin-Off, we have a much smaller management team and very few employees. We are highly dependent on principal members of our
management team and a small group of key employees to operate our business. Our company is located in northern California, which is headquarters to many
other biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies and many academic and research institutions. As a result, competition for certain skilled personnel in our
market remains intense. None of our employees have employment commitments for any fixed period of time and they all may leave our employment at will. If we
fail to retain our qualified personnel or replace them when they leave, we may be unable to continue our business operations, which may cause the price of our
securities to fall.

We rely and will continue to rely on outsourcing arrangements for many of our activities, including financial reporting and accounting and human
resources.

        We currently have only ten full-time employees and, as a result, we rely, and expect to continue to rely, on outsourcing arrangements for a significant portion
of our activities, including financial reporting and accounting and human resources, as well as for certain functions as a public company through the end of the
first quarter of 2015. We may have limited control over these third parties and we cannot guarantee that they will perform their obligations in an effective and
timely manner.

As we continue to develop our business, our mix of assets and our sources of income may require that we register with the SEC as an "investment company"
in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940.

        We have not been and have no current intention to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 40 Act, because
we believe the nature of our assets and the sources of our income currently exclude us from the definition of an investment company pursuant to Sections (3)(a)
(1)(A), (3)(a)(1)(C) under the 40 Act and Rule 270.3a-1 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Accordingly, we are not currently subject to the
provisions of the 40 Act, such as compliance with the 40 Act's registration and reporting requirements, capital structure requirements, affiliate transaction
restrictions, conflict of interest rules, requirements for disinterested directors, and other substantive provisions. Generally, to avoid being a company that is an
"investment company" under the 40 Act, it must both: (a) not be or hold itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in
securities, and (b) either (i) not be engaged or propose to engage in the business of investing in securities or own or propose to acquire investment securities
having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis or (ii) not have
more than 45% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) consist of or more than 45% of its net income after taxes (for
the last four fiscal quarters combined) be derived from securities. In addition, we would not be an "investment company" if an exception, exemption, or safe
harbor under the 40 Act applies.

        We monitor our assets and income for compliance with the tests under the 40 Act and seek to conduct our business activities to ensure that we do not fall
within its definitions of "investment company." If we were to become an "investment company" and be subject to the strictures of the 40 Act, the restrictions
imposed by the 40 Act would likely require changes in the way we do business and add significant administrative burdens to our operations. In order to ensure
that we do not fall within the 40 Act, we may need to take various actions which we might otherwise not pursue. These actions may include restructuring the
Company and/or modifying our mixture of assets and income.

        Specifically, our mixture of debt vs. royalty assets is important to our classification as an "investment company" or not. In this regard, while we currently
believe that none of the definitions of

23

Table of Contents

"investment company" apply to us, we may in the future rely on an exception under the 40 Act provided by Section 3(c)(5)(A). To qualify for Section 3(c)(5)(A),
as interpreted by the staff of the SEC, we would be required to have at least 55% of our total assets in "notes, drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable, and
other obligations representing part or all of the sales price of merchandise, insurance, and services" (or Qualifying Assets). In a no-action letter issued to Royalty
Pharma on August 13, 2010, the staff stated that royalty interests are Qualifying Assets under this exception. If the SEC or its staff in the future adopts a contrary
interpretation or otherwise restricts the conclusions in the staff's no-action letter such that our royalty interests are no longer Qualifying Assets for purposes of
Section 3(c)(5)(A), we could be required to register under the 40 Act.

        The rules and interpretations of the SEC and the courts, relating to the definition of "investment company" are highly complex in numerous respects. While
we currently intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company, we can give no assurances that we will not determine it to be
in the Company's and our stockholders' interest to register as an "investment company", not be deemed an "investment company" and not be required to register
under the 40 Act.

Risks Related to our Alliance with GSK

Because all our current and projected revenues are derived from products under the GSK Agreements, disputes with GSK could harm our business and cause
the price of our securities to fall.

        All of our current and projected revenues are derived from products under the GSK Agreements. Any action or inaction by either GSK or us that results in a
material dispute, allegation of breach, litigation, arbitration, or significant disagreement between the parties may be interpreted negatively by the market or by our
investors, could harm our business and cause the price of our securities to fall. Examples of these kinds of issues include but are not limited to non-performance
of contractual obligations and allegations of non-performance, disagreements over the relative marketing and sales efforts for our partnered products and other
GSK respiratory products, disputes over public statements, and similar matters. In addition, while we obtained GSK's consent to the Spin-Off as structured, GSK
could decide to challenge various aspects of our post-Spin-Off operation of Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC ("TRC"), the limited liability company jointly
owned by us and Theravance Biopharma as violating or allowing it to terminate the GSK Agreements. Although we believe our operation of TRC fully complies
with the GSK Agreements and applicable law, there can be no assurance that we would prevail against any such claims by GSK. Moreover, regardless of the
merit of any claims by GSK, we may incur significant cost and diversion of resources in defending them. In addition, any market or investor uncertainty about the
respiratory programs partnered with GSK or the enforceability of the GSK Agreements could result in significant reduction in the market price of our securities
and other material harm to our business.

Because GSK is a strategic partner as well as a significant stockholder, it may take actions that in certain cases are materially harmful to both our business or
to our other stockholders.

        Although GSK beneficially owns approximately 27.1% of our outstanding capital stock as of February 12, 2015, it is also a strategic partner with rights and
obligations under the GSK Agreements that cause its interests to differ from the interests of us and our other stockholders. In particular, GSK has a substantial
respiratory product portfolio in addition to the partnered products that are covered by the GSK Agreements. GSK may make respiratory product portfolio
decisions or statements about its portfolio which may be, or may be perceived to be, harmful to the respiratory products partnered with us. For example, GSK
could promote its non-GSK/THRX respiratory products, delay or terminate the development or commercialization of the respiratory programs covered by the
GSK Agreements, or take other actions, such as making public statements, that have a negative effect on our stock price. In this regard and by way of example,
sales of Advair®, GSK's approved medicine for both COPD and asthma, continue to be significantly greater than sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, and
GSK has

24

Table of Contents

indicated publicly that it intends to continue commercializing Advair®. Also, given the potential future royalty payments GSK may be obligated to pay under the
GSK Agreements, GSK may seek to acquire us to reduce those payment obligations. The timing of when GSK may seek to acquire us could potentially be when
it possesses information regarding the status of drug programs covered by the GSK Agreements that has not been publicly disclosed and is not otherwise known
to us. As a result of these differing interests, GSK may take actions that it believes are in its best interest but which might not be in the best interests of either us or
our other stockholders. In addition, upon regulatory approval of UMEC/VI/FF or a MABA/ICS in either the U.S. or the EU, GSK's diligent efforts obligations as
to commercialization matters under the GSK Agreements will have the objective of focusing on the best interests of patients and maximizing the net value of the
overall portfolio of products under the GSK Agreements. Since GSK's commercialization efforts following such regulatory approval will be guided by a portfolio
approach across products in which we have retained our full interest and also products in which we now have only a portion of our former interest, GSK's
commercialization efforts may have the effect of reducing the overall value of our remaining interests in the products covered by the GSK Agreements in the
future.

GSK has also indicated to us that it believes its consent may be required before we can engage in certain royalty monetization transactions with third parties,
which may inhibit our ability to engage in these transactions.

        In the course of our discussions with GSK concerning the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, GSK indicated to us that it believes that its consent may be
required before we can engage in certain transactions designed to monetize the future value of royalties that may be payable to us from GSK under the GSK
Agreements. GSK has informed us that it believes that there may be certain covenants included in these types of transactions that might violate certain provisions
of the GSK Agreements. Although we believe that we can structure royalty monetization transactions in a manner that fully complies with the requirements of the
GSK Agreements without GSK's consent, a third party in a proposed monetization transaction may nonetheless insist that we obtain GSK's consent for the
transaction or re-structure the transaction on less favorable terms. We have obtained GSK's agreement that (i) we may grant certain pre-agreed covenants in
connection with monetization of our interests in RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, ANORO® ELLIPTA® and vilanterol monotherapy and portions of our
interests in TRC, and (ii) it will not unreasonably withhold its consent to our requests to grant other covenants, provided, among other conditions, that in each
case, the covenants are not granted in favor of pharmaceutical or biotechnology company with a product either being developed or commercialized for the
treatment of respiratory disease. If we seek GSK's consent to grant covenants other than pre-agreed covenants, we may not be able to obtain GSK's consent on
reasonable terms, or at all. If we proceed with a royalty monetization transaction that is not otherwise covered by the GSK Agreement without GSK's consent,
GSK could request that its consent be obtained or seek to enjoin or otherwise challenge the transaction as violating or allowing it to terminate the GSK
Agreements. Regardless of the merit of any claims by GSK, we would incur significant cost and diversion of resources in defending against GSK's claims or
asserting our own claims and GSK may seek concessions from us in order to provide its consent. Any uncertainty about whether or when we could engage in a
royalty monetization transaction, the potential impact on the enforceability of the GSK Agreements or the loss of potential royalties from the respiratory programs
partnered with GSK, could impair our ability to pursue a return of capital strategy for our stockholders ahead of our receipt of significant royalties from GSK,
result in significant reduction in the market price of our securities and cause other material harm to our business.

25

Table of Contents

GSK's ownership of a significant percentage of our stock and its ability to acquire additional shares of our stock may create conflicts of interest, and may
inhibit our management's ability to continue to operate our business in the manner in which it is currently being operated.

        As of February 12, 2015, GSK beneficially owned approximately 27.1% of our outstanding capital stock, and GSK has the right to acquire stock from us to
maintain its percentage ownership of our capital stock in certain circumstances. GSK could have substantial influence in the election of our directors, delay or
prevent a transaction in which stockholders might receive a premium over the prevailing market price for their shares and have significant control over certain
changes in our business.

        In addition, GSK may make an offer to our stockholders to acquire outstanding voting stock that would bring GSK's percentage ownership of our voting
stock to no greater than 60%, provided that:

•

•

•

•

the offer includes no condition as to financing; 

the offer is approved by a majority of our independent directors; 

the offer includes a condition that the holders of a majority of the shares of the voting stock not owned by GSK accept the offer by tendering their
shares in the offer; and 

the shares purchased will be subject to the same provisions of the governance agreement as are the shares of voting stock currently held by GSK.

        If pursuant to the provision described above GSK's ownership of us is greater than 50.1%, then GSK is allowed to make an offer to our stockholders to
acquire outstanding voting stock that would bring GSK's percentage ownership of our voting stock to 100%, provided that;

•

•

•

the offer includes no condition as to financing; 

the offer is approved by a majority of our independent directors; and 

the offer includes a condition that the holders of a majority of the shares of the voting stock not owned by GSK accept the offer by tendering their
shares in the offer.

        The procedures governing GSK offers to ours stockholders to acquire outstanding voting stock set forth in the preceding two paragraphs are applicable until
the termination of the governance agreement on September 1, 2015 and thereafter the foregoing restrictions will not apply.

        Further, pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, we renounce our interest in and waive any claim that a corporate or business opportunity taken by GSK
constitutes a corporate opportunity of ours unless such corporate or business opportunity is expressly offered to one of our directors who is a director, officer or
employee of GSK, primarily in his or her capacity as one of our directors.

GSK's significant ownership position and its rights under the governance agreement may deter or prevent efforts by other companies to acquire us, which
could prevent our stockholders from realizing a control premium.

        As of February 12, 2015, GSK beneficially owned approximately 27.1% of our outstanding capital stock. GSK may vote at its sole discretion on any
proposal to effect a change of control of us or for us to issue equity securities to one or more parties that would result in that party or parties beneficially owning
more than 20% of our outstanding capital stock. Our governance agreement with GSK requires us to exempt GSK from any stockholder rights plan we may adopt
in the future, affords GSK certain rights to offer to acquire us in the event third parties seek to acquire our stock and contains other provisions that could deter or
prevent another company from seeking to acquire us.

        For example, GSK may offer to acquire 100% of our outstanding stock from stockholders in certain circumstances, such as if we are faced with a hostile
acquisition offer or if our Board acts in a manner to facilitate a change in control of us with a party other than GSK. As a result of GSK's significant ownership
and its rights under the governance agreement, other companies may be less

26

Table of Contents

inclined to pursue an acquisition of us and therefore we may not have the opportunity to be acquired in a transaction that stockholders might otherwise deem
favorable, including transactions in which our stockholders might realize a substantial premium for their shares.

GSK could sell or transfer a substantial number of shares of our common stock, which could depress the price of our securities or result in a change in
control of our company.

        Under our governance agreement with GSK, GSK could previously sell or transfer our common stock only pursuant to a public offering registered under the
Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. GSK no longer has contractual restrictions on its ability to sell or transfer our common stock on the
open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and these sales or transfers could create substantial declines in the price of our securities or, if these
sales or transfers were made to a single buyer or group of buyers, could contribute to a transfer of control of our company to a third party. Sales by GSK of a
substantial number of shares, or the expectation of such sales, could cause a significant reduction in the market price of our common stock.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Uncertainty

If the efforts of our partner, GSK, to protect the proprietary nature of the intellectual property related to products in any respiratory program partnered with
GSK are not adequate, the future commercialization of any such product could be delayed, limited or prevented, which would materially harm our business
and the price of our securities could fall.

        To the extent the intellectual property protection of products in any respiratory program partnered with GSK are successfully challenged or encounter
problems with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other comparable agencies throughout the world, the commercialization of these products could be
delayed, limited or prevented. Any challenge to the intellectual property protection of a late-stage development asset or approved product arising from any
respiratory program partnered with GSK could harm our business and cause the price of our securities to fall.

        Our commercial success depends in part on products in any respiratory program partnered with GSK not infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third
parties. Third parties may assert that these products are using their proprietary rights without authorization. In addition, third parties may obtain patents in the
future and claim that use of GSK's technologies infringes upon these patents. Furthermore, parties making claims against GSK may obtain injunctive or other
equitable relief, which could effectively block GSK's ability to further develop or commercialize one or more of the product candidates or products in any
respiratory program partnered with GSK.

        In the event of a successful claim of infringement against GSK, it may have to pay substantial damages, obtain one or more licenses from third parties or pay
royalties. In addition, even in the absence of litigation, GSK may need to obtain licenses from third parties to advance its research or allow commercialization of
the products. GSK may fail to obtain any of these licenses at a reasonable cost or on reasonable terms, if at all. In that event, GSK would be unable to further
develop and commercialize one or more of the products, which could harm our business significantly. In addition, in the future GSK could be required to initiate
litigation to enforce its proprietary rights against infringement by third parties. Prosecution of these claims to enforce its rights against others would involve
substantial litigation expenses. If GSK fails to effectively enforce its proprietary rights related to our partnered respiratory programs against others, our business
will be harmed, and the price of our securities could fall.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

The price of our securities has been extremely volatile and may continue to be so, and purchasers of our securities could incur substantial losses.

        The price of our securities has been extremely volatile and may continue to be so. Between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, the high and low sales
prices of our common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market varied between $12.90 and $40.49 per share. The stock market in general and the
market for biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the companies'
operating performance, in particular during the last several years. The following factors, in addition to the other risk factors described in this section, may also
have a significant impact on the market price of our securities:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to the commercialization of RELVAR®/BREO®
ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® with GSK, including, without limitation, if payor coverage is lower than anticipated or if sales of
RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® are less than anticipated because of pricing pressure in the respiratory markets
targeted by our partnered products or existing or future competition in the markets in which they are commercialized, including competition from
existing and new products that are perceived as lower cost or more effective, and our royalty payments are less than anticipated; 

any positive developments or results or perceived positive developments or results with respect to the development of UMEC/VI/FF with GSK,
including, without limitation if the new Phase 3 study (or any other closed triple Phase 3 studies that may be initiated in the future) is successful
and GSK and the respiratory market in general view this triple combination therapy as significantly more beneficial than existing therapies,
including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®; 

any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to the on-going development of FF/VI with GSK,
including, without limitation, any difficulties or delays encountered with regard to the regulatory path for FF/VI or any indication from clinical or
non-clinical studies, including the large Phase 3b program, that FF/VI is not safe or efficacious or does not sufficiently differentiate itself from
alternative therapies; 

any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to the on-going development of UMEC/VI with
GSK, including, without limitation, any difficulties or delays encountered with regard to the regulatory path for UMEC/VI, any indication from
clinical or non-clinical studies that UMEC/VI is not safe or efficacious; 

any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to the sNDA submitted to the FDA for a fixed dose
combination of FF/VI as a once-daily treatment for asthma in patients aged 12 years and older; 

any adverse developments or perceived adverse developments in the field of LABAs, including any change in FDA policy or guidance (such as
the pronouncement in February 2010 warning that LABAs should not be used alone in the treatment of asthma and related labeling requirements,
the impact of the March 2010 FDA Advisory Committee discussing LABA clinical trial design to evaluate serious asthma outcomes or the FDA's
April 2011 announcement that manufacturers of currently marketed LABAs conduct additional clinical studies comparing the addition of LABAs
to inhaled corticosteroids versus inhaled corticosteroids alone); 

GSK's decisions whether or not to purchase, on a quarterly basis, sufficient shares of our common stock to maintain its ownership percentage
taking into account our preceding quarter's option exercise, equity vesting and debt conversion activity;

the occurrence of a fundamental change triggering a put right of the holders of the Notes or our inability, or perceived inability, to satisfy the
obligations under the Notes when they become due; 

our incurrence of expenses in any particular quarter that are different than market expectations; 

the extent to which GSK advances (or does not advance) FF/VI, UMEC/VI, UMEC/VI/FF, VI monotherapy and the MABA program through
development into commercialization in all indications in all major markets; 

any adverse developments or perceived adverse developments with respect to our relationship with GSK, including, without limitation,
disagreements that may arise between us and GSK; 

announcements regarding GSK generally; 

announcements of patent issuances or denials, technological innovations or new commercial products by GSK;

economic and other external factors beyond our control; 

sales of stock by us or by our stockholders, including sales by certain of our employees and directors whether or not pursuant to selling plans
under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; 

relative illiquidity in the public market for our common stock (our three largest stockholders other than GSK collectively owned approximately
38.2% of our outstanding capital stock as of February 12, 2015 based on our review of publicly available filings); 

any adverse developments or perceived adverse developments with respect to the business separation; and 

potential sales or purchases of our capital stock by GSK.

We may be unable to or elect not to continue returning capital to our stockholders

        We have a corporate goal of returning capital to stockholders and have paid quarterly dividends during the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2014. The payment of, or
continuation of, capital returns to stockholders is at the discretion of our board of directors and is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations,
capital requirements, general business conditions, tax treatment of capital returns, potential future contractual restrictions contained in credit agreements and other
agreements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Future capital returns may also be affected by, among other factors: our views on
potential future capital requirements for investments in acquisitions and our working capital and debt maintenance requirements; legal risks; stock repurchase
programs; changes in federal and state income tax laws or corporate laws; and changes to our business model. Our capital returns may change from time to time,
and we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to provide any particular amounts. A reduction or suspension in our capital returns programs could have a
negative effect on our stock price.

Concentration of ownership will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

        As of February 12, 2015, GSK beneficially owned approximately 27.1% of our outstanding capital stock and our directors, executive officers and investors
affiliated with these individuals beneficially owned approximately 0.9% of our outstanding capital stock. Based on our review of publicly available filings as of
February 12, 2015, our three largest stockholders other than GSK collectively owned approximately 38.2% of our outstanding capital stock. These stockholders
could control the outcome of actions taken by us that require stockholder approval, including a transaction in which stockholders might receive a premium over
the prevailing market price for their shares.

29

Table of Contents

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter and bylaws, in our rights agreement and in Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control of our company.

        Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that stockholders may consider
favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions include:

•

•

•

•

requiring supermajority stockholder voting to effect certain amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; 

restricting the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; 

prohibiting stockholder action by written consent; and 

establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at
meetings.

        In addition, our Board has adopted a rights agreement that may prevent or delay a change in control of us. Further, some provisions of Delaware law may
also discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring us or merging with us.

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS 

        During the first quarter of 2015, the SEC staff has inquired regarding our historical and current recognition of the up-front and milestone payments received
from GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement between 2002 and 2006, and the milestone fees paid by us to GSK in 2013 and 2014. We are currently
engaged in discussions with the SEC staff regarding our recognition of the payments made and received under the LABA Collaboration Agreement. While we
believe that our accounting related to the LABA Collaboration Agreement is appropriate and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
the SEC staff reserves the right to make further inquiries regarding our accounting treatment of the payments made and received under the LABA Collaboration
Agreement. If the SEC staff disagrees with our accounting treatment, we may be required to restate our financial statements for prior periods.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES 

        Our former headquarters consisted of 150,000 square feet of office and laboratory space leased in two buildings located in South San Francisco, California.
Pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Lease agreement between us and Theravance Biopharma, we assigned and Theravance Biopharma assumed all of
the rights and obligations under the existing lease agreements for these two buildings. We also entered into a Sublease Agreement with Theravance Biopharma to
sublease 4,847 square feet of space in Building 951, which expires in May 2020. Management believes that this facility is suitable and adequate to meet the
company's anticipated near-term needs. We anticipate that following the expiration of the sublease, additional or alternative space will be available at
commercially reasonable terms. We do not own or lease any other properties.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

        We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Price Range of Common Stock

        Our common stock has been traded on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "THRX" since October 5, 2004. The following table sets forth the
high and low closing prices of our common stock on a per share basis for the periods indicated and as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market. On June 2,
2014, we completed the Spin-Off, in which each of our stockholders received one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for every 3.5 shares of our common
stock. The closing price of Theravance Biopharma shares on the first day of regular trading was $23.51, which represents an adjustment of $6.72. The stock
prices below have not been adjusted for the impact of the Spin-Off.

Holders

        As of February 12, 2015, there were 141 stockholders of record of our common stock. As many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other
institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        In November 2014, we completed the sale of 832,456 shares of our common stock to an affiliate of GSK at a price of $15.36 per share, resulting in aggregate
gross proceeds of approximately $12.8 million before deducting transaction expenses. Neither we nor the affiliate of GSK engaged any investment advisors with
respect to the sale and no finders' fees were paid or will be paid to any party in connection with the sale. We issued and sold the shares in reliance upon an
exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Dividends

        During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $57.0 million to our stockholders. On February 20, 2015, our board of
directors declared a $0.25 per share dividend for the first quarter of 2015 for a total of approximately $29.2 million. The payment of, or continuation of, capital
returns to stockholders is at the discretion of our board of directors and is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements,
general business conditions, tax treatment of capital returns, potential future contractual restrictions contained in credit agreements and other agreements and
other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Includes 5,322,719 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and 775,156 shares issuable upon vesting of outstanding
restricted stock units and restricted stock awards. 

Includes 99,500 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and no outstanding restricted stock units. 

Does not take into account outstanding restricted stock units as these awards have no exercise price. 

Includes 284,139 shares of common stock available under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

        In May 2012, we adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan ("2012 Plan"). The number of shares of our common stock originally reserved for issuance under
the 2012 Plan is equal to 6,500,000 shares plus up to 12,667,411 additional shares that may be added to the 2012 Plan in connection with the forfeiture,
repurchase, cash settlement or termination of awards outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan ("2004 Plan"), the 2008 New Employee Equity Incentive
Plan, the 1997 Stock Plan and the Long-Term Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans") as of December 31, 2011. In connection with the Spin-Off,
outstanding stock options and other awards, along with the number of shares remaining available for future stock options and other awards, were adjusted
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the 2012 Plan and Prior Plans. An additional 1,373,201 shares were added to the 2012 Plan share reserve as a result of
the anti-dilution adjustment of the outstanding stock options and other awards granted under the 2012 Plan and the shares remaining available for future grant
under the 2012 Plan. The additional 993,130 shares added to the Prior Plans as a result of the anti-dilution provisions are included in the 12,667,411 additional
shares that may be added to the 2012 Plan.

        While a maximum of 12,667,411 shares could be added to the 2012 Plan from the Prior Plans, this assumes that all the awards outstanding on December 31,
2011 will be forfeited, repurchased, cash settled or terminated. Therefore, the actual number that may be added to the 2012 Plan share reserve will likely be lower.
No additional awards were made after May 15, 2012 under the 2004 Plan. Stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") will reduce the 2012 Plan reserve
by one share for every share granted, and stock awards other than options and SARs granted will reduce the 2012 Plan share reserve by 1.45 shares for every
share granted. The 2012 Plan share reserve was also reduced by

Table of Contents

the number of stock awards granted under the 2004 Plan on or after January 1, 2012, using the same ratios described.

        The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards and SARs to our
employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Stock options may be granted with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock
on the grant date. Stock options granted to employees generally have a maximum term of 10 years and vest over a four year period from the date of grant; 25%
vest at the end of one year, and 75% vest monthly over the remaining three years. We may grant options with different vesting terms from time to time. Unless an
employee's termination of service is due to disability or death, upon termination of service, any unexercised vested options will be forfeited at the end of three
months or the expiration of the option, whichever is earlier. Additional information regarding stock-based compensation is included in Note 1, "Description of
Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 6, "Stock-Based Compensation," to the consolidated financial statements appearing in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock Performance Graph

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

        Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to facilitate an understanding of our business and results of operations. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information
contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including information with respect to our plans and strategy
for our business, our operating expenses, and future payments under our collaboration agreements, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon
current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I above for a discussion of
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the
following discussion and analysis. See the section entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements" above for more information.

Management Overview

        Theravance, Inc. is a royalty management company focused on maximizing the potential value of the respiratory assets partnered with Glaxo Group Limited
("GSK"), including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (fluticasone furoate/ vilanterol, "FF/VI") and ANORO® ELLIPTA® (umeclidinium bromide/ vilanterol,
"UMEC/VI"), with the intention of providing capital returns to stockholders. Under the Long-Acting Beta2 Agonist ("LABA") Collaboration Agreement and the
Strategic Alliance Agreement with GSK (referred to herein collectively as the "GSK Agreements"), Theravance is eligible to receive the associated royalty
revenues from RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® , ANORO® ELLIPTA® and if approved and commercialized, VI monotherapy. Theravance is also entitled to
15% of any future payments made by GSK under its agreements originally entered into with us, and since assigned to Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC
("TRC"), relating to the combination FF/UMEC/VI and the Bifunctional Muscarinic Antagonist-Beta2 Agonist ("MABA") program, as monotherapy and in
combination with other therapeutically active components, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, and any other product or combination of products that may be
discovered and developed in the future under the LABA Collaboration Agreement, which has been assigned to TRC other than RELVAR®/BREO®ELLIPTA®,
ANORO® ELLIPTA® and VI monotherapy.

        On June 1, 2014, we separated our biopharmaceutical research and drug development operations from our late-stage partnered respiratory assets by
transferring our research and drug development operations into our then wholly-owned subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma"). We
contributed $393.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to Theravance Biopharma and all outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma
were then distributed to Theravance stockholders as a pro-rata dividend distribution on June 2, 2014 by issuing one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for
every 3.5 shares held of our common stock to stockholders of record on May 15, 2014 (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off resulted in Theravance Biopharma
operating as an independent publicly-traded company. The results of operations for the former research and drug development operations conducted by us and by
Theravance Biopharma until June 1, 2014 are included as part of this report as discontinued operations.

        Pursuant to a three-way master agreement entered into by and among us, Theravance Biopharma and GSK in connection with the Spin-Off, we agreed to sell
a certain number of Theravance Biopharma shares withheld from a taxable dividend of Theravance Biopharma shares to GSK. After such Theravance Biopharma
shares were sent to the transfer agent, we agreed to purchase the Theravance Biopharma shares from the transfer agent, rather than have them sold on the open
market, in order to satisfy tax withholdings. GSK had a right to purchase these shares of Theravance

36

Table of Contents

Biopharma from us, but this right expired unexercised. Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, we owned 436,802 ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma.

        As a royalty management company, we have designed our company structure and organization to be focused on managing our respiratory assets with GSK,
the commercial and developmental obligations associated with the GSK Agreements, intellectual property, licensing operations, and providing for certain
essential reporting and management functions of a public company. As of December 31, 2014, we had ten employees. Our revenues consist of royalties and
potential milestone payments, if any, from our respiratory partnership agreements with GSK.

Financial Highlights

        In 2014, our net loss from our continuing operations was $73.5 million, an increase of $42.9 million from $30.6 million in 2013, primarily due to higher
employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, and an increase in interest expense from our non-recourse notes payable due 2029 (the
"2029 Notes"). Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, totaled $283.4 million on December 31, 2014, a decrease of $237.1 million from December 31,
2013. The decrease was due primarily to the contribution of $393.0 million to Theravance Biopharma in connection with the Spin-Off, cash used in operations of
$130.7 million, registrational and launch-related milestone payments to GSK of $135.0 million and payments of cash dividends of $57.0 million. These outflows
were partially offset by net proceeds of $434.7 million from the issuance of our non-recourse notes due 2029, net proceeds of $48.9 million received from
issuances of our common stock and $18.4 million from royalties earned from GSK.

Declaration and Payment of Cash Dividends

        During each of the third and fourth quarters of 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock to stockholders
resulting in aggregate cash dividends of $57.0 million paid to our stockholders in 2014. In connection with the payments of these cash dividends, the conversion
rate with respect to our 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") was adjusted.

In the fourth quarter 2014, sales for RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® by GSK were $62.2 million compared to $25.6 million in the previous
quarter, an increase of approximately 142%, resulting in total sales of $110.9 million in 2014. 

In the fourth quarter 2014, sales for ANORO® ELLIPTA® by GSK were $17.4 million compared to $1.8 million in the previous quarter, a
substantial increase resulting in total sales of $27.4 million in 2014. 

GSK announced that as of January 2015, U.S. Medicare Part D coverage has increased to 76 percent for BREO® ELLIPTA® and to 65 percent for
ANORO® ELLIPTA®. In addition, as of January 2015, 64 percent are insured through commercial plans for BREO® ELLIPTA® and 78 percent
for ANORO® ELLIPTA®. 

A Phase 3 study evaluating the effectiveness of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® compared to other COPD treatments, as measured by the primary
endpoint of the mean annual rate of moderate and severe exacerbations, one of the Salford Lung Studies being conducted, completed enrollment of
2,800 patients. 

GSK secured reimbursement for ANORO® ELLIPTA® via the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) as a long-term once-daily,
maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in adult patients with COPD.

Collaborative Arrangements with GSK

LABA Collaboration

        In November 2002, we entered into our LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK to develop and commercialize once-daily LABA products for the
treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") and asthma. For the treatment of COPD, the collaboration has developed two combination
products: (1) RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (FF/VI) (BREO® ELLIPTA® is the proprietary name in the U.S. and Canada and RELVAR® ELLIPTA® is the
proprietary name outside the U.S. and Canada), a once-daily combination medicine consisting of a LABA, vilanterol (VI), and an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS),
fluticasone furoate (FF) and (2) ANORO® ELLIPTA® (UMEC/VI), a once-daily medicine combining a long-acting muscarinic antagonist ("LAMA"),
umeclidinium bromide (UMEC), with a LABA, VI. Under the collaboration agreements between the parties, GSK and Theravance are exploring various paths to
create triple therapy medications. For the treatment of asthma, RELVAR® ELLIPTA® is approved in multiple regions outside of North America and the
collaboration is further developing FF/VI for the U.S. The FF/VI program is aimed at developing a once-daily combination LABA/ICS to succeed GSK's Advair
® /Seretide™ (salmeterol and fluticasone as a combination) franchise, which had reported 2014 sales of approximately $7.0 billion, and to compete with
Symbicort® (formoterol and budesonide as a combination), which had reported 2014 sales of approximately $3.8 billion. ANORO® ELLIPTA®, which is also a
combination product, is targeted as an alternative treatment option to Spiriva® (tiotropium), a once-daily, single-mechanism bronchodilator, which had reported
2013 sales of approximately $4.7 billion.

        As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, we were obligated to
pay milestone fees to GSK totaling $220.0 million, which we have paid in their entirety as of December 31, 2014. Although we have no further milestone
payment obligations to GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we continue to have ongoing development and commercialization activities under
the GSK Agreements that are expected to continue over the life of the agreements. The milestone fees paid to GSK were recognized as capitalized fees paid to a
related party, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon the commercial launch of the product.

        We are entitled to receive annual royalties from GSK on sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® as follows: 15% on the first $3.0 billion of annual global
net sales and 5% for all annual global net sales above $3.0 billion. Sales of single-agent LABA medicines and combination medicines would be combined for the
purposes of this royalty calculation. For other products combined with a LABA from the LABA collaboration, such as ANORO™ ELLIPTA™, royalties are
upward tiering and range from 6.5% to 10%.

2004 Strategic Alliance

        In March 2004, we entered into the Strategic Alliance Agreement with GSK where GSK received an option to license exclusive development and
commercialization rights to product candidates from certain of our discovery programs on pre-determined terms and on an exclusive, worldwide basis. Upon
GSK's decision to license a program, GSK is responsible for funding all future development, manufacturing and commercialization activities for product
candidates in that program. In addition, GSK is obligated to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize product candidates from any program that it
licenses. If the program is successfully advanced through development by GSK, we are entitled to receive clinical, regulatory and commercial milestone
payments and royalties on any sales of medicines developed from the program. If GSK chooses not to license a program, we retain all rights to the program and
may continue the program alone or with a third party. GSK has no further option rights on any of our research or development programs under the strategic
alliance.

38

Table of Contents

        In 2005, GSK licensed our MABA program for the treatment of COPD, and in October 2011, we and GSK expanded the MABA program by adding six
additional Theravance-discovered preclinical MABA compounds (the "Additional MABAs"). GSK's development, commercialization, milestone and royalty
obligations under the strategic alliance remain the same with respect to GSK961081 ('081), the lead compound in the MABA program. GSK is obligated to use
diligent efforts to develop and commercialize at least one MABA within the MABA program, but may terminate progression of any or all Additional MABAs at
any time and return them to us, at which point we may develop and commercialize such Additional MABAs alone or with a third party. Both GSK and we have
agreed not to conduct any MABA clinical studies outside of the strategic alliance so long as GSK is in possession of the Additional MABAs. If a single-agent
MABA medicine containing '081 is successfully developed and commercialized, GSK is required to pay royalties of between 10% and 20% of annual global net
sales up to $3.5 billion, and 7.5% for all annual global net sales above $3.5 billion. If a MABA medicine containing '081 is commercialized as a combination
product, such as a '081/FF, the royalty rate is 70% of the rate applicable to sales of the single-agent MABA medicine. For single-agent MABA medicines
containing an Additional MABA, GSK is required to pay royalties of between 10% and 15% of annual global net sales up to $3.5 billion, and 10% for all annual
global net sales above $3.5 billion. For combination products containing an Additional MABA, such as a MABA/ICS combination, the royalty rate is 50% of the
rate applicable to sales of the single-agent MABA medicine. If a MABA medicine containing '081 is successfully developed and commercialized in multiple
regions of the world, GSK could be required to pay total contingent payments of up to $125.0 million for a single-agent medicine and up to $250.0 million for
both a single-agent and a combination medicine. If a MABA medicine containing an Additional MABA is successfully developed and commercialized in multiple
regions of the world, GSK could be required to pay total contingent payments of up to $129.0 million. As a result of the transactions effected by the Spin-Off, we
are only entitled to receive 15% of any contingent payments and royalties payable by GSK from sales of FF/UMEC/VI (and MABA, and MABA/FF) while
Theravance Biopharma receives 85% of those same payments.

Agreements Entered into with GSK in Connection with the Spin-Off

        On March 3, 2014, in contemplation of the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, we, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a series of agreements
clarifying how the companies would implement the Spin-Off and operate following the Spin-Off. We, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a three-way
master agreement providing for GSK's consent to the Spin-Off provided certain conditions were met. In addition, we and GSK also entered into amendments to
the GSK Agreements, and Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a governance agreement, a registration rights agreement and an extension agreement.
The three-way master agreement was effective on June 1, 2014 when we transferred our research and drug development operations to Theravance Biopharma.
Pursuant to a three-way master agreement entered into by and among us, Theravance Biopharma and GSK in connection with the Spin-Off, we agreed to sell a
certain number of Theravance Biopharma shares withheld from a taxable dividend of Theravance Biopharma shares to GSK. After such Theravance Biopharma
shares were sent to the transfer agent, we agreed to purchase the Theravance Biopharma shares from the transfer agent, rather than have them sold on the open
market, in order to satisfy tax withholdings. GSK had a right to purchase these shares of Theravance Biopharma from us, but this right expired unexercised.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, we owned 436,802 ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma.

        The amendments to the GSK Agreements do not change the economics or royalty rates under the GSK Agreements, though the assignment of the Strategic
Alliance Agreement and portions of the LABA Collaboration Agreement to TRC do change how the economics are allocated between Theravance Biopharma
and us. The amendments to the GSK Agreements do provide that GSK's diligent efforts obligations regarding commercialization matters under both agreements
will change upon regulatory approval in either the United States or the European Union of FF/UMEC/VI or a

39

Table of Contents

MABA in combination with FF. Upon such regulatory approval, GSK's diligent efforts obligations as to commercialization matters under the GSK Agreements
will have the objective of focusing on the best interests of patients and maximizing the net value of the overall portfolio of products under the GSK Agreements.
Since GSK's commercialization efforts following such regulatory approval will be guided by a portfolio approach across products in which we will retain our full
interests upon the Spin-Off and also products in which we will have retained only a portion of our interests upon the planned Spin-Off transaction, GSK's
commercialization efforts may have the effect of reducing the overall value of our remaining interests in the GSK Agreements after the Spin-Off.

Purchases of Common Stock by GSK

        Prior to 2014, affiliates of GSK purchased an aggregate of 29.9 million shares of our common stock. During 2014, GSK purchased 1.7 million shares of our
common stock pursuant to its periodic "top-up" rights under our Amended and Restated Governance Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2004, as amended, among us,
GSK and certain GSK affiliates, for an aggregate purchase price of $38.1 million. As of February 12, 2015, GSK beneficially owned approximately 27.1% of our
outstanding capital stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and
on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more
significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Where the revenue recognition criteria
are not met, we defer the recognition of revenue by recording deferred revenue until such time that all criteria are met.

Collaborative Arrangements and Multiple Element Arrangements

        We generate revenue from collaboration and license agreements for the development and commercialization of product candidates. Collaboration and license
agreements may include non-refundable upfront payments, partial or complete reimbursement of research and development costs, supply arrangement, contingent
payments based on the occurrence of specified events under our collaborative arrangements, license fees and royalties on sales of product candidates if they are
successfully approved and commercialized. Our performance obligations under the collaborations may include the transfer of intellectual property rights in the
form of licenses, obligations to provide research and development services and related materials, supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") and/or drug
product, and obligations to participate on certain development and/or commercialization committees with the collaborative partners. We make judgments that
affect the periods over which we recognize revenue. We periodically review our estimated periods of performance

40

Table of Contents

based on the progress under each arrangement and account for the impact of any changes in estimated periods of performance on a prospective basis.

        On January 1, 2011, we adopted an accounting standards update that amends the guidance on accounting for new or materially modified multiple-element
arrangements that we enter into subsequent to January 1, 2011. This guidance removed the requirement for objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the
undelivered items in order to consider a deliverable a separate unit of accounting. It also changed the allocation method such that the relative-selling-price method
must be used to allocate arrangement consideration to all the units of accounting in an arrangement. This guidance established the following hierarchy that must
be used in estimating selling price under the relative-selling-price method: (1) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of the deliverable, if it exists,
(2) third-party evidence of selling price, if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available or (3) vendor's best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither
vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available.

        We may determine that the selling price for the deliverables within collaboration and license arrangements should be determined using BESP. The process
for determining BESP involves significant judgment on our part and includes consideration of multiple factors such as estimated direct expenses and other costs,
and available data. We have determined BESP for license units of accounting based on market conditions, similar arrangements entered into by third parties and
entity-specific factors such as the terms of previous collaborative agreements, our pricing practices and pricing objectives, the likelihood that clinical trials will be
successful, the likelihood that regulatory approval will be received and that the products will become commercialized. We have also determined BESP for
services-related deliverables based on the nature of the services to be performed and estimates of the associated effort as well as estimated market rates for similar
services.

        For each unit of accounting identified within an arrangement, we determine the period over which the performance obligation occurs. Revenue is then
recognized using either a proportional performance or straight-line method. We recognize revenue using the proportional performance method when the level of
effort to complete our performance obligations under an arrangement can be reasonably estimated. Direct labor hours or full time equivalents are typically used as
the measurement of performance. Any changes in the remaining estimated performance obligation periods under these collaborative arrangements will not have a
significant impact on the results of operations, except for a change in estimated performance period resulting from the termination of a collaborative arrangement,
which would result in immediate recognition of the related deferred revenue.

        The GSK Agreements were entered into prior to January 1, 2011. The delivered items under these collaborative agreements did not meet the criteria required
to be accounted for as separate accounting units for the purposes of revenue recognition. As a result, revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees and development
contingent payments were recognized ratably over the expected term of our performance of research and development services under the agreements. These
upfront or contingent payments received, pending recognition as revenue, were recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the estimated performance
periods.

        Under the GSK Agreements, we recognized revenue of $8.4 million, $4.5 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
The remaining deferred revenue under the GSK Strategic Alliance Agreement is $4.9 million at December 31, 2014. Any change in the estimated performance
period, which is predominantly based on GSK's development timeline, will not have a significant impact on the results of operations, except for a change in
estimated performance period resulting from the termination of the MABA program that would result in immediate recognition of the deferred revenue.

        On January 1, 2011, we also adopted an accounting standards update that provides guidance on revenue recognition using the milestone method. Payments
that are contingent upon achievement of a

41

Table of Contents

substantive milestone are recognized in their entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. Milestones are defined as events that can be achieved based
only on our performance and as to which, at the inception of the arrangement, there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestone will be achieved.
Events that are contingent only on the passage of time or only on third-party performance are not considered milestones subject to this guidance. Further, the
amounts received must relate solely to prior performance, be reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms in the agreement and commensurate
with our performance to achieve the milestone after commencement of the agreement. Total contingent payments that may become payable to us under our
collaborative agreements were up to $363.0 million at December 31, 2014 and are considered non-substantive.

        Under the GSK Agreements, royalty revenue earned is reduced by amortization expense resulting from the fees paid to GSK, which were recognized as
capitalized fees paid to a related party. When amortization expense exceeds amounts recognized for royalty revenues from GSK, negative revenue would be
reported in our consolidated statements of operations.

        Amounts related to research and development funding is recognized as the related services or activities are performed, in accordance with the contract terms.
Payments may be made to us based on the number of full-time equivalent researchers assigned to the collaborative project and the related research and
development expenses incurred. Accordingly, reimbursement of research and development expenses pursuant to the cost-sharing provisions of our agreements
with certain collaborative partners are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Royalties

        We recognize royalty revenue on licensee net sales of products with respect to which we have royalty rights in the period in which the royalties are earned
and reported to us and collectability is reasonably assured. Royalties are recognized net of amortization of capitalized fees paid to a related party associated with
any approval and launch milestone payments made to GSK.

Capitalized Fees paid to a Related Party

        We capitalize fees paid to licensors related to agreements for approved products or commercialized products. We capitalize these fees as capitalized fees paid
to a related party ("Capitalized Fees") and amortize these Capitalized Fees on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives upon the commercial launch of
the product, which is expected to be shortly after regulatory approval of such product. The estimated useful lives of these Capitalized Fees are based on a country-
by-country and product-by-product basis, as the later of the expiration or termination of the last patent right covering the compound in such product in such
country and 15 years from first commercial sale of such product in such country, unless the agreement is terminated earlier. Consistent with our policy for
classification of costs under the research and development collaborative arrangements, the amortization of these Capitalized Fees will be recognized as a
reduction of royalty revenue.

        We review our Capitalized Fees for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. The recoverability of Capitalized Fees is measured by comparing the asset's carrying amount to the expected undiscounted future cash flows that the
asset is expected to generate. The determination of recoverability typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including estimating the useful life over
which cash flows will occur, their amount, and the asset's residual value, if any. We derive the required cash flow estimates from near-term forecasted product
sales and long-term projected sales in the corresponding market.

        Our gross Capitalized Fees of $220.0 million at December 31, 2014 consist of registrational and launch-related to milestone fees paid to GSK (see
"Collaborative Arrangements with GSK" above for more information). These Capitalized Fees are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-
line method commencing upon commercial launch.

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Stock-Based Compensation Awards

        We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation
model requires the use of assumptions, including the expected term of the award and the expected stock price volatility. We use the "simplified" method as
described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Share Based Payment," for the expected option term because the usage of our historical option exercise data is
limited due to post-IPO exercise restrictions. Beginning April 1, 2011, we have used our historical volatility to estimate expected stock price volatility. Prior to
April 1, 2011, we used our peer company price volatility to estimate expected stock price volatility due to our limited historical common stock price volatility
since our initial public offering in 2004. The estimated fair value of the option is expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the grant.

        We estimated the fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") based on the fair market values of the underlying stock
on the dates of grant. The estimated fair value of time-based RSUs and RSAs is expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the grant. The
estimated fair value of performance-contingent RSUs and RSAs is expensed using an accelerated method over the requisite service period based on management's
best estimate as to whether it is probable that the shares awarded are expected to vest. We assess the probability of the performance indicators being met on a
continuous basis.

        Stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest and was reduced for estimated forfeitures at the time of grant
and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differed from those estimates. The estimated annual forfeiture rates for stock options, RSUs
and RSAs are based on our historical forfeiture experience.

        We do not expect to recognize in the near future any tax benefit related to employee stock-based compensation expense as a result of the full valuation
allowance on our deferred tax assets including deferred tax assets related to our net operating loss carry forwards.

        For more information, refer to Note 6, "Stock-Based Compensation," to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs from Non-recourse Notes Payable, due 2029

        In April 2014, we entered into certain note purchase agreements relating to the private placement of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-
recourse 9% fixed rate term notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary.

        The 2029 Notes are secured exclusively by a security interest in a segregated bank account established to receive 40% of royalties due to us under the LABA
Collaboration with GSK commencing on April 1, 2014 and ending upon the earlier of full repayment of principal or May 15, 2029. The funds in the segregated
bank account can only be used to make principal and interest payments on the 2029 Notes.

        The 2029 Notes bear an annual interest rate of 9%, with interest and principal paid quarterly beginning November 15, 2014. The 2029 Notes may be
redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at specified redemption premiums. Prior to May 15, 2016, in the event that the specified portion of
royalties received in a quarter is less than the interest accrued for the quarter, the principal amount of the 2029 Notes will increase by the interest shortfall amount
for that period.

        As part of this sale, we incurred approximately $15.3 million in transaction costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the
2029 Notes based on the effective interest method. Since the principal and interest payments on the 2029 Notes are based on royalties from product sales, which
will vary from quarter to quarter, the 2029 Notes may be repaid prior to the final

maturity date in 2029. To the extent that the interest or principal payments are greater or less than our initial estimates or the timing of such payments is materially
different than our original estimates, we will prospectively adjust the amortization of the debt issuance costs. There are a number of factors that could materially
affect the amount and timing of the royalty payments due to us under the LABA Collaboration with GSK, most of which are not within our control. Such factors
include, but are not limited to, the competitive landscape for approved products and developing therapies that compete with our partnered products, the ability of
patients to be able to afford our partnered products, the size of the market for our partnered products, safety concerns in the marketplace for respiratory therapies
in general and with our partnered products in particular, decisions as to the timing of product launches, pricing and discounts, and other events or circumstances
that result in reduced royalty payments, all of which would result in an impact to the amount of debt issuance costs amortized.

We revised the estimated performance period for the MABA program based on its progress as follows: (i) in the fourth quarter of 2012,
resulting in an increase to net loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) in the fourth quarter of 2013, resulting in
an increase to net loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We do not expect that these revisions will have a material
impact on future revenue recognized under this program.

        Total net revenue from continuing operations increased in 2014 compared to 2013 and decreased in 2013 compared to 2012.

        Royalty revenue recognized in 2014 includes royalties from ANORO® ELLIPTA®, which was launched in 2014, and a full year of royalties from
RELVAR®/ BREO® ELLIPTA®, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2013. Royalty revenue recognized under the LABA Collaboration Agreement with
GSK is reduced by amortization expense for Capitalized Fees, which commences upon commercial launch.

        Revenue from collaborative arrangements includes deferred revenue under the LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK, which was fully recognized by
June 2013.

        R&D expenses from continuing operations decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to fewer allocated costs as our ongoing operations are
significantly smaller as a result of the Spin-Off.

        R&D expenses from continuing operations increased in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to higher stock- based compensation costs as a result of the
achievement of performance conditions under a special long-term retention and incentive equity award granted to certain employees in 2011 for which the
expense commenced in 2013.

        We expect R&D expenses in 2015 to decrease compared to 2014 due to the Spin-Off of our research and drug development operations. Currently, our
research and development expenses are primarily due to expenses related to the late-stage partnered respiratory assets with GSK.

        General and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to higher stock-based compensation
expense and employee-related costs. Stock-based compensation expense and employee-related costs increased primarily due to the probable achievement of
performance conditions under a special long-term retention and incentive equity and cash bonus awarded to certain employees in 2011.

        General and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to an increase in external legal and
accounting fees in connection with our separation strategy and employee-related expenses.

        We expect general and administrative expenses in 2015 to decrease due to the Spin-Off of our research and drug development operations and the significant
reduction in our general and administrative cost structure. Since the Spin-Off, we significantly downsized our operations and as of December 31, 2014, had ten
employees managing our respiratory assets with GSK, the commercial and developmental obligations associated with the GSK Agreements, intellectual property,
licensing operations, and providing certain essential reporting and management functions of a public company.

        Other income (expense), net in 2013 includes net cash received from the termination of our royalty participation agreement with Elan Corporation, plc,
partially offset by $1.4 million related to the change in fair value of the capped call instruments related to our convertible subordinated notes issued in 2013.

        Interest income decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to lower average cash balances resulting from the cash contribution to Theravance
Biopharma in June 2014 and registrational and launch-related milestone payments to GSK during 2014.

        Interest income increased in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to higher average cash balances resulting from the net proceeds received from the January
2013 issuance of 2.125% convertible subordinated notes due in 2023 ("2023 Notes") and from issuances of our common stock, partially offset by registrational
and launch-related milestone payments to GSK

compared to 2012 primarily due to the issuance of our 2023 Notes in January 2013.

Income Taxes

        At December 31, 2014, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income taxes of $1,158.3 million and federal research and development tax credit
carryforwards of $45.2 million. We recorded a valuation allowance to offset in full the benefit related to our deferred tax assets because realization of these
benefits is uncertain.

        We had unrecognized tax benefits of $15.5 million as of December 31, 2014 and $57.4 million as of December 31, 2013. None of our currently unrecognized
tax benefits would affect our effective income tax rate if recognized, due to the valuation allowance that currently offsets our deferred tax assets.

        Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations
provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. We conducted an analysis through 2014 to determine whether an ownership change

had occurred since inception. The analysis indicated that two ownership changes occurred in prior years. However, notwithstanding the applicable annual
limitations, we estimate that no portion of the net operating loss or credit carryforwards will expire before becoming available to reduce federal and state income
tax liabilities. Annual limitations may result in expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before some or all of such amounts have been utilized.

Discontinued Operations

        On June 1, 2014, we separated our research and drug development businesses from our late-stage partnered respiratory assets. The significant components of

        Net revenues primarily consist of revenue from collaborative arrangements and product sales.

        Revenue from collaborative arrangements in 2014 includes deferred revenue recognized from our agreement with R-Pharm CJSC. Revenue from
collaborative arrangements in 2012 includes $125.8 million of deferred revenue recognized from our global collaboration arrangement with Astellas Pharma, Inc.
("Astellas") for the development and commercialization of VIBATIV®, which was accelerated as a result of the termination of the Astellas agreement in January
2012, and the recognition of the upfront payment allocated to licensing of $4.4 million received under the collaborative arrangement with Merck, which was
terminated in December 2013. Amounts from all three of these agreements were transferred to Theravance Biopharma as a part of the Spin-Off.

        Products sales were generated from sales of VIBATIV® in the U.S. for which revenue recognition commenced in the first quarter of 2014.

        Loss from discontinued operations decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily as there was no impact of discontinued operations after the Spin-Off in
June 2014. There was a loss from discontinued operations in 2013 compared to income from discontinued operations in 2012 primarily as result of net revenue.
Included in the loss from discontinued operations for 2014 and 2013 are external legal and accounting fees in connection with our separation strategy and the
additional stock-based compensation and cash bonus expense recognized due to the achievement of performance conditions under a special long-term retention
and incentive equity and cash bonus awarded to certain employees in 2011 both of which we started to incur in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

        Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of equity and debt securities and payments
received under collaborative arrangements. In 2014, we have also received royalty payments from GSK from the sale of a full year of royalties from RELVAR®/
BREO® ELLIPTA®, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2013, and from

47

 
   
   
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

ANORO® ELLIPTA®, which was launched during 2014. At December 31, 2014, we had $283.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

        Our Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share dividend for each of the third and fourth quarter of 2014 for all stockholders of record as of the close of
business on specified dates resulting in a total of $57.0 million in cash dividends paid to our stockholders in 2014.

        On June 1, 2014 we contributed $393.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to Theravance Biopharma as initial funds for their
operations, based on anticipated operating plans and financial forecasts at the separation date. Although our cash on hand was reduced as a result of the Spin-Off,
we expect that going forward our operating expenses will decrease significantly as our ongoing operations will be significantly smaller due to our focus on
royalty management activities. As a result of the reduction in our operations, we believe that cash from future royalty revenues, net of operating expenses, debt
service and cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

        In April 2014, we entered into certain note purchase agreements relating to the private placement of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-
recourse 9% fixed rate term notes due 2029 ("2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes are secured exclusively by a security interest in a segregated bank account
established to receive 40% of the royalties from global net sales occurring on or after April 1, 2014 and ending upon the earlier of full repayment of principal or
May 15, 2029 due to us under the LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK. Prior to May 15, 2016, in the event that the specified portion of royalties received
in a quarter is less than the interest accrued for the quarter, the principal amount of the 2029 Notes will increase by the interest shortfall amount for that period. As
of December 31, 2014, interest expense of $20.5 million was added to the principal balance of the 2029 Notes. From the net proceeds of the offering of
approximately $434.7 million, we established a milestone payment reserve account to fund 40% of any future milestone payments that could become payable
under the LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK. At December 31, 2014, the balance of the milestone reserve account and royalty collection account was not
material. We incurred approximately $15.3 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the 2029 Notes.

        As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, we were obligated to
pay milestone fees to GSK totaling $220.0 million, which we have paid in their entirety as of December 31, 2014. These milestone fees paid to GSK were
recognized as capitalized fees paid to a related party, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon commercial launch.

Adequacy of cash resources to meet future needs

        We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating needs for at least the next twelve
months based upon current operating plans and financials forecasts. If our current operating plans and financial forecasts change, we may require additional
funding sooner in the form of public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Furthermore, if in our view favorable financing opportunities arise, we may
seek additional funding at any time. However, future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could leave us without
adequate financial resources to fund our operations as currently planned. In addition, we regularly explore debt restructuring and/or reduction alternatives,
including through tender offers, redemptions, repurchases or otherwise, all consistent with the terms of our debt agreements.

        Cash used in operating activities is primarily driven by net loss, excluding the effect of non-cash charges or differences in the timing of cash flows and
earnings recognition.

        Net cash used in operating activities in 2014 of $130.7 million was primarily due to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

$100.5 million used in operating expenses, after adjusting for $68.2 million of non-cash related items, consisting primarily of stock-based
compensation expense of $27.4 million, interest expense added to the 2029 Notes of $20.5 million, depreciation and amortization expense of
$12.2 million, other than temporary impairment loss of $3.8 million from equity securities, amortization on premium of marketable securities of
$1.7 million and amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.4 million; 

$15.9 million decrease in payable to Theravance Biopharma; 

$4.8 million increase in interest payments on convertible subordinated notes payable; 

$1.9 million used to increase inventories, all incurred prior to the Spin-Off; 

$7.7 million decrease in accounts payable primarily due to the timing of payments and our ongoing operations being significantly smaller due to
the Spin-Off; and 

$3.2 million from the decrease in deferred revenue.

        Net cash used in operating activities in 2013 was $129.6 million, which was primarily due to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

$140.0 million used in operating expenses, after adjusting for non-cash related items of: $33.6 million consisting primarily of stock- based
compensation expense of $25.7 million and depreciation and amortization expenses of $8.2 million; 

$8.0 million used for interest payments on convertible subordinated notes payable; 

$3.1 million used to increase inventories; 

$2.1 million used to increase receivable from collaborative arrangements related to royalty revenue and reimbursement of R&D services; 

$8.2 million increase for cash, net of third party expenses, for the termination of our royalty participation agreement; 

$7.5 million increase in accrued liabilities due to $5.9 million increase in accrued personnel-related expenses, accrued clinical and development
expense, and other accrued liabilities, and $1.6 million increase in accounts payable primarily due to the timing of payments, and 

$6.5 million received in upfront fees under our collaborative arrangements.

$4.8 million used to increase inventories; 

$0.8 million used to increase receivable from collaborative arrangements related to reimbursement of R&D services

development expense, and $1.5 million decrease in accounts payable primarily due to timing of payments; and 

$6.0 million received in upfront fees under our collaborative arrangements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities in 2014 of $65.1 million was due to $135.0 million used for payments to GSK for registrational and launch-related
milestone fees, partially offset by $69.7 million from the sale and maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases.

        Net cash used in investing activities in 2013 was $219.6 million, which was primarily due to $131.9 million in cash balances being invested in available-for-
sale securities and $85.0 million used for milestone payments to GSK.

        Net cash used in investing activities in 2012 was $58.3 million, which was primarily due to $55.9 million in cash balances being invested in short- term
investments and long-term marketable securities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities in 2014 of $149.1 million was due to net proceeds of $434.7 million received from the private placement of our
2029 Notes and $48.9 million received from the issuance of our common stock. These increases were partially offset by $277.5 million of cash and cash
equivalents contributed to Theravance Biopharma in connection with the Spin-Off and payments of cash dividends of $57.0 million to our stockholders.

        Net cash provided by financing activities in 2013 of $397.8 million was primarily due to the net proceeds of $281.6 million received from the January 2013
issuance of 2.125% convertible subordinated notes due in 2023 and net proceeds from the issuances of our common stock of $153.0 million, which includes net
proceeds of $126.0 million received from private placements of our common stock to an affiliate of GSK. These increases were partially offset by $36.8 million
of payments on privately-negotiated capped call option transactions in connection with the issuance of the notes.

        Net cash provided by financing activities in 2012 of $235.9 million was primarily due to net proceeds from the issuances of our common stock of
$236.4 million, which includes net proceeds of $229.3 million received from private placements of our common stock to an affiliate of GSK.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Due to the Spin-Off, the leases for the facilities in South San Francisco, California, which formerly served as our headquarters, were assigned to Theravance
Biopharma. We would be held liable by the landlord if Theravance Biopharma default under its lease obligations, and thus, we have in substance

50

Table of Contents

guaranteed the payments under the lease agreements for the South San Francisco facilities. As of December 31, 2014, the total lease payments for the duration of
the lease, which runs through May 2020, are approximately $33.4 million. We would be also responsible for lease related payments including utilities, property
taxes, and common area maintenance, which may be as much as the actual lease payments. We recorded a long-term liability of $1.3 million on our consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 related to the estimated fair value of this guarantee.

Commitments and Contingencies

        We indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits. We may be subject to contingencies that may arise from
matters such as product liability claims, legal proceedings, shareholder suits and tax matters, as such, we are unable to estimate the potential exposure related to
these indemnification agreements. We have not recognized any liabilities relating to these agreements as of December 31, 2014.

Special Long-Term Retention and Incentive Cash Awards Program

        In 2011, we granted special long-term retention and incentive RSAs to members of senior management and special long-term retention and incentive cash
bonus awards to certain employees. The awards have dual triggers of vesting based upon the achievement of certain performance conditions over a six-year
timeframe from 2011 through December 31, 2016 and continued employment.

        In connection with the Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the modification of the remaining tranches related to
these awards as the performance conditions associated with the remaining portions of these awards were unlikely to be consistent with the new strategies of each
company following the separation. The modification acknowledged the Spin-Off and permitted recognition of achievement of certain of the original performance
conditions that were met prior to the Spin-Off, triggering service-based vesting for a portion of the cash and equity awards. Stock-based compensation expense of
$3.8 million associated with this portion of the equity awards after the modification is expected to be recognized by us during the twelve month period that
commenced in June 2014. The remaining 63,000 RSAs for which service-based vesting was not triggered at the time of the Spin-Off remain subject to new
performance conditions (as well as the original service conditions). In addition, the RSAs for which both the performance and service-based conditions were not
achieved prior to the Spin-Off were entitled to the pro rata dividend distribution made by Theravance on June 2, 2014 of one ordinary share of Theravance
Biopharma for every 3.5 shares of Theravance common stock subject to their awards. The Theravance Biopharma shares will be subject to the same new
performance and service conditions as the original RSAs to which they relate. The amount payable by us under the modified cash bonus awards is $0.5 million
and the remaining tranches of the cash bonus awards were forfeited.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

        As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, we were obligated to
pay milestone fees to GSK totaling $220.0 million, which we have paid in their entirety as of December 31, 2014. These milestone fees paid to GSK were
recognized as capitalized fees paid to a related party, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon commercial launch. We have
no further milestone payment obligations to GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement.

        In April 2014, we entered into certain note purchase agreements relating to the private placement of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-
recourse 9% fixed rate term notes due 2029 issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary ("2029 Notes"). As of December 31, 2014, interest expense of $20.5 million
was added to the principal balance of the 2029 Notes.

The 2029 Notes are secured by a security interest in a segregated bank account established to receive 40% of royalties due to us under the
LABA Collaboration with GSK commencing on April 1, 2014 and ending upon the earlier of full repayment of principal or May 15,
2029. The amounts in the segregated bank account can only be used to make interest and principal payments on the 2029 Notes. In
addition, prior to May 15, 2016, in the event that the specified portion of royalties received in a quarter is less than the interest accrued for
the quarter, the principal amount of the 2029 Notes will increase by interest shortfall amount for that period. Since the principal and
interest payments on the 2029 Notes are based on royalties from product sales recorded by GSK, which can vary from quarter to quarter
and are unknown to us, these amounts are not included in the above table. See Note 7, "Long-Term Debt" of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for further information. 

Following the Spin-Off, we entered into a Sublease Agreement with Theravance Biopharma to sublease 4,847 square feet of office space
in South San Francisco, California, which expires in May 2020. We do not own or lease any other properties.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

Market Risk

        We have invested primarily in money market funds, federal agency notes, corporate debt securities and U.S. treasury notes. To reduce the volatility relating
to these exposures, we have put investment and risk management policies and procedures in place. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged,
are classified as available-for-sale and, due to their very short-term nature. We currently do not engage in hedging activities.

        We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in interest rates would have on the value of our investment portfolio. Based on our
investment positions as of December 31, 2014, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $1.3 million decline in the fair market
value of the portfolio. Such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity. A hypothetical decrease in market interest rates by 10%
would not have a material impact to our interest income from our investment portfolio.

Equity Market Risk

        As of December 31, 2014, we held ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma with a fair value of $6.5 million based on the closing sales price of $14.92 per
share on December 31, 2014 as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market. These equity securities are restricted securities and could only be resold pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). We are able to sell these shares
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act since the six-month holding period has been satisfied provided that Theravance Biopharma remains
current with its SEC filing obligations. During the fourth quarter

52

 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

of 2014 we took a charge in the consolidated statements of operations related to the loss in fair value of these equity securities. The fair value of the equity
securities could further be adversely affected as ordinary shares are susceptible to stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. As of
December 31, 2014, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the fair value of this equity security would result in a loss in fair value of approximately $0.7 million.

Interest Rate Risk

        As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of our convertible notes due in 2023 was estimated to be $197.1 million, based on available pricing information.
The 2023 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.125%. The effective interest rate by year of expected maturity for our convertible notes or the earliest in which
the note holders may put the debt to us is 2.38% each year.

        As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of our non-recourse notes due 2029 was estimated to be $456.4 million, based on available pricing information. The
2029 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9% per annum. The effective interest rate by year of expected maturity for our non-recourse notes due 2029 is 9.78%
each year.

        The obligations under these two facilities are subject to interest rate risk because the respective interest rates under the obligations may exceed current
interest rates.

Description of Operations

        Theravance, Inc. ("Theravance", the "Company", or "we" and other similar pronouns) is a royalty management company focused on maximizing the
potential value of the respiratory assets partnered with Glaxo Group Limited ("GSK"), including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (fluticasone furoate/ vilanterol,
"FF/VI") and ANORO® ELLIPTA® (umeclidinium bromide/ vilanterol, "UMEC/VI"), with the intention of providing capital returns to stockholders. Under the
Long-Acting Beta2 Agonist ("LABA") Collaboration Agreement and the Strategic Alliance Agreement with GSK (referred to herein as the "GSK Agreements"),
Theravance is eligible to receive the associated royalty revenues from RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® , ANORO® ELLIPTA® and if approved and
commercialized, VI monotherapy. Theravance is also entitled to 15% of any future payments made by GSK under its agreements originally entered into with us,
and since assigned to Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC ("TRC"), relating to the combination FF/UMEC/VI and the Bifunctional Muscarinic Antagonist-
Beta2 Agonist ("MABA") program, as monotherapy and in combination with other therapeutically active components, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, and any
other product or combination of products that may be discovered and developed in the future under the LABA Collaboration Agreement ("LABA
Collaboration"), which has been assigned to TRC other than RELVAR®/BREO®ELLIPTA®, ANORO® ELLIPTA® and VI monotherapy.

Business Separation

        On June 1, 2014, we separated our biopharmaceutical research and drug development operations from our late-stage partnered respiratory assets by
transferring our research and drug development operations into our then wholly-owned subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma"). We
contributed $393.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to Theravance Biopharma and all outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma
were then distributed to Theravance stockholders as a pro-rata dividend distribution on June 2, 2014 by issuing one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for
every 3.5 shares held of our common stock to stockholders of record on May 15, 2014 (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off resulted in Theravance Biopharma
operating as an independent, publicly traded company.

        The results of operations for the former research and drug development operations conducted by us and by Theravance Biopharma until June 1, 2014 are
included as part of this report as discontinued operations. Refer to Notes 10 and 11, "Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc.," and "Discontinued Operations"
for further information.

        Pursuant to a three-way master agreement entered into by and among us, Theravance Biopharma and GSK in connection with the Spin-Off, we agreed to sell
a certain number of Theravance Biopharma shares withheld from a taxable dividend of Theravance Biopharma shares to GSK. After such Theravance Biopharma
shares were sent to the transfer agent, we agreed to purchase the Theravance Biopharma shares from the transfer agent, rather than have them sold on the open
market, in order to satisfy tax withholdings. GSK had a right to purchase these shares of Theravance Biopharma from us, but this right expired unexercised.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, we owned 436,802 ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma, which are accounted for as marketable securities in the
consolidated balance sheet. These equity securities are discussed further in Note 4, "Available-for-Sale Securities and Fair Value Measurements".

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Theravance and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Management's Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates. Management evaluates its significant accounting policies and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical
experience and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates also form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities when these values are not readily apparent from other sources.

Segment Reporting

        We operate in a single segment, which is to provide capital return to stockholders by maximizing the potential value of our respiratory assets partnered with
GSK. Revenues are generated from our collaborative arrangements and royalty payment from GSK, located in Great Britain. Our facilities are located within the
United States.

Variable Interest Entities

        We evaluate our ownership, contractual and other interest in entities to determine if they are variable-interest entities ("VIE"), whether we have a variable
interest in those entities and the nature and extent of those interests. Based on our evaluations, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary of such VIEs, we
consolidate such entities into our financial statements. We consolidate the financial results of TRC, which we have determined to be a VIE, because we have the
power to direct the economically significant activities of TRC and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, TRC. The financial
position and results of operations of TRC are not material as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

        Prior to the Spin-Off, we pledged cash and cash equivalents as collateral under certain lease agreements and letters of credit. Restricted cash related to such
agreements was $0 and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Investments in Marketable Securities

        We invest in short-term investments and marketable securities, primarily corporate notes, government, government agency, and municipal bonds. We limit
the amount of credit exposure with any one issuer, industry or geographic area for investments other than instruments backed by the U.S.

federal government. We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale securities and report them at fair value in cash equivalents, short-term investments
or marketable securities on the consolidated balance sheets with related unrealized gains and losses included as a component of stockholders' equity (deficit). The
amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is included in interest income on the
consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income. The cost of securities sold
is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income.

        We regularly review all of our investments for other-than-temporary declines in estimated fair value. Our review includes the consideration of the cause of
the impairment, including the creditworthiness of the security issuers, the number of securities in an unrealized loss position, the severity and duration of the
unrealized losses, whether we have the intent to sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities before the
recovery of their amortized cost basis. When we determine that the decline in estimated fair value of an investment is below the amortized cost basis and the
decline is other-than-temporary, we reduce the carrying value of the security and record a loss for the amount of such decline to other income (expense), net.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        We define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

        Our valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources,
while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. We classify these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs and little, if any, market activity for the assets.

        Financial instruments include cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, receivables from collaborative arrangements, accounts payable,
and accrued liabilities. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are carried at estimated fair value. The carrying value of accounts receivable, receivables from
collaborative arrangements, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these
instruments.

Accounts Receivable

        All trade accounts receivable were related to our former research and drug development operations and, thus, were contributed to Theravance Biopharma in
connection with the Spin-Off. Accordingly, we have no trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Prior to the Spin-Off, our trade accounts receivable were recorded net of allowances for wholesaler chargebacks related to government rebate programs, cash
discounts for prompt payment and sales returns. Estimates for wholesaler chargebacks for government rebates, cash discounts and sales returns were based on
contractual terms, historical trends and our expectations regarding the utilization rates for these programs. When appropriate, we recorded an allowance for
doubtful accounts based upon our assessment of collectability. For the periods presented, we did not have any write-offs of accounts receivable.

Inventories

        All inventories were related to our former research and drug development operations and, thus, were contributed to Theravance Biopharma in connection
with the Spin-Off. Accordingly, we had no inventories as of December 31, 2014.

        Prior to the Spin-Off, our inventories consisted of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market
value. We determined the cost of inventory using the average-cost method for validation batches. We analyzed our inventory levels quarterly and wrote down any
inventory that was expected to become obsolete, that had a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value or for inventory quantities in excess of
expected requirements.

        Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $1.1 million, $2.7 million and $3.3 million. Depreciation expense for
property and equipment used by our former research and drug development operations is classified within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements
of operations. The change in accumulated depreciation is net of asset retirements.

Capitalized Software

        We capitalize certain costs related to direct material and service costs for software obtained for internal use. Capitalized software costs are depreciated over
3 years.

Capitalized Fees paid to a Related Party

        We capitalize fees paid to licensors related to agreements for approved products or commercialized products. We capitalize these fees as capitalized fees paid
to a related party ("Capitalized Fees") and amortize these Capitalized Fees on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives upon the commercial launch of
the product, which has been shortly after regulatory approval of such product. The estimated useful lives of these Capitalized Fees are based on a country-by-
country and product-by-product basis, as the later of the expiration or termination of the last patent right covering the compound in such product in such country
and 15 years from first commercial sale of such product in such country, unless the agreement is terminated earlier. Consistent with our policy for classification of
costs under the research and development collaborative arrangements, the amortization of these Capitalized Fees are recognized as a reduction of royalty revenue.
We review our Capitalized Fees for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.
The recoverability of Capitalized Fees is measured by comparing the asset's carrying amount to the expected undiscounted future cash flows that the asset is
expected to generate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The determination of recoverability typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including estimating the useful life over which cash flows will occur,
their amount, and the asset's residual value, if any. We derive the required cash flow estimates from near-term forecasted product sales and long-term projected
sales in the corresponding market.

Bonus Accruals

        We have short-term bonus programs for eligible employees. Bonuses are determined based on various criteria, including the achievement of corporate,
departmental and individual goals. Bonus accruals are estimated based on various factors, including target bonus percentages per level of employee and
probability of achieving the goals upon which bonuses are based.

Deferred Rent

        Deferred rent consists of the difference between cash payments and the recognition of rent expense on a straight-line basis under our lease agreements. Rent
expense is recognized ratably over the life of the leases. Rent expenses associated with our operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and
2012 were $3.0 million, $6.0 million, and $5.7 million, respectively.

        The leases were assumed by Theravance Biopharma in connection with the Spin-Off. Prior to the Spin-Off, our deferred rent also included lease incentives
of $2.6 million as of December 31, 2013, which were being recognized ratably over the life of the lease. The rent expense related to our former research and drug
development operations is classified within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Where the revenue recognition criteria
are not met, we defer the recognition of revenue by recording deferred revenue until such time that all criteria are met.

Collaborative Arrangements and Multiple-Element Arrangements

        Revenue from nonrefundable, up-front license or technology access payments under license and collaborative arrangements that are not dependent on any
future performance by us is recognized when such amounts are earned. If we have continuing obligations to perform under the arrangement, such fees are
recognized over the estimated period of continuing performance obligation.

        We account for multiple element arrangements, such as license and development agreements in which a customer may purchase several deliverables, in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 605-25, "Multiple Element
Arrangements." For new or materially amended multiple element arrangements, we identify the deliverables at the inception of the arrangement and each
deliverable within a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the
delivered item or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and (2) for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered
item(s), delivery or

65

Table of Contents

THERAVANCE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. We allocate revenue to each non-contingent element based on the
relative selling price of each element. When applying the relative selling price method, we determine the selling price for each deliverable using vendor-specific
objective evidence ("VSOE") of selling price, if it exists, or third-party evidence ("TPE") of selling price, if it exists. If neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price
exist for a deliverable, we use the best estimated selling price for that deliverable. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized based on when the basic
four revenue recognition criteria are met for each element.

        For multiple-element arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2011, we determined the delivered items under our collaborative arrangements did not
meet the criteria to be considered separate accounting units for the purposes of revenue recognition. As a result, we recognized revenue from non-refundable,
upfront fees and development contingent payments in the same manner as the final deliverable, which is ratably over the expected term of our performance of
research and development services under the agreements. These upfront or contingent payments received, pending recognition as revenue, are recorded as
deferred revenue and are classified as a short-term or long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized over the estimated period of
performance. We periodically review the estimated performance periods of our contracts based on the progress of our programs.

        Where a portion of non-refundable upfront fees or other payments received are allocated to continuing performance obligations under the terms of a
collaborative arrangement, they are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue, or as an accrued liability and recognized as a reduction of research
and development expenses ratably over the term of our estimated performance period under the agreement. We determine the estimated performance periods, and
they are periodically reviewed based on the progress of the related program. The effect of any change made to an estimated performance period and, therefore
revenue recognized, would occur on a prospective basis in the period that the change was made.

        Under certain collaborative arrangements, we have been reimbursed for a portion of our research and development expenses. These reimbursements have
been reflected as a reduction of research and development expense in our consolidated statements of operations, as we do not consider performing research and
development services to be a part of our ongoing and central operations. Therefore, the reimbursement of research and developmental services and any amounts
allocated to our research and development services are recorded as a reduction of research and development expense.

        Amounts deferred under a collaborative arrangement in which the performance obligations are terminated will result in an immediate recognition of any
remaining deferred revenue and accrued liability in the period that termination occurred, provided that there are no remaining performance obligations.

        We account for contingent payments in accordance with FASB Subtopic ASC 605-28 "Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method." We recognize revenue
from milestone payments when (i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievability was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement and (ii) we
do not have ongoing performance obligations related to the achievement of the milestone. Milestone payments are considered substantive if all of the following
conditions are met: the milestone payment (a) is commensurate with either our performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the
delivered item or items as a result of a specific outcome resulting from our performance to achieve the milestone, (b) relates solely to past performance, and (c) is

66

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential milestone consideration) within the arrangement.

        Under our collaborative arrangements with GSK, royalty revenue earned is reduced by amortization expense resulting from the fees paid to GSK, which
were recognized as capitalized fees paid to a related party. When amortization expense exceeds amounts recognized for royalty revenues from GSK, negative
revenue would be reported in our consolidated statements of operations.

Royalties

        We recognize royalty revenue on licensee net sales of products with respect to which we have contractual royalty rights in the period in which the royalties
are earned and reported to us and collectability is reasonably assured. Royalties are recognized net of amortization of capitalized fees associated with any
approval and launch milestone payments made to GSK.

Product Revenues

        We currently have no product revenues following the Spin-Off.

        Prior to the Spin-Off, we recognized revenues from product sales when there was persuasive evidence that an arrangement existed, title and risk of loss
transferred, the price was fixed and determinable, and collectibility was reasonably assured. Product sales were recognized net of estimated allowances, discounts,
sales returns, chargebacks and rebates. Such amounts are presented within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        We maintain a policy to record allowances for potentially doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make
required payments. As of December 31, 2013, there were no allowances for doubtful accounts as we have not had any write-offs historically.

Research and Development Costs

        Research and development costs are expensed in the period that services are rendered or goods are received. Research and development costs consist
primarily of salaries and benefits. Prior to the Spin-Off, research and development costs also included laboratory supplies and facility costs, and fees paid to third
parties that conduct certain research and development activities on behalf of us, net of certain external research and development costs reimbursed under
collaborative arrangements, which are classified within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

Preclinical Study and Clinical Study Expenses

        All accrued clinical and development expenses were related to our former research and drug development operations and, thus, were contributed to
Theravance Biopharma in connection with the Spin-Off. Accordingly, we have no accrued clinical and development expenses as of December 31, 2014.

67

THERAVANCE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Prior to the Spin-Off, a substantial portion of our preclinical studies and all of our clinical studies were performed by third-party contract research
organizations (CROs). Some CROs billed monthly for services performed, while others billed based upon milestones achieved. We would review the activities
performed under the significant contracts each quarter. For preclinical studies, the significant factors used in estimating accruals included the percentage of work
completed to date and contract milestones achieved. For clinical study expenses, the significant factors used in estimating accruals included the number of
patients enrolled and percentage of work completed to date. Vendor confirmations were obtained for contracts with longer duration when necessary to validate
our estimate of expenses. Our estimates were highly dependent upon the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by our CROs regarding the status of each
program and total program spending and adjustments were made when deemed necessary.

Fair Value of Stock-Based Compensation Awards

        We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted under our equity incentive plans and rights to acquire
stock granted under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). The Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model requires the use of assumptions, including the
expected term of the award and the expected stock price volatility. We use the "simplified" method as described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Share-
Based Payment," for the expected option term because the usage of its historical option exercise data is limited due to post-IPO exercise restrictions. Beginning
April 1, 2011, we used our historical volatility to estimate expected stock price volatility. Prior to April 1, 2011, we used peer company price volatility to estimate
expected stock price volatility due to our limited historical common stock price volatility since our initial public offering in 2004.

        Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs") are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of
grant.

        Stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest and was reduced for estimated forfeitures at the time of grant
and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differed from those estimates. Our estimated annual forfeiture rates for stock options, RSUs
and RSAs are based on our historical forfeiture experience.

        The estimated fair value of stock options, RSUs and RSAs is expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the grant and the estimated fair
value of performance-contingent RSUs and RSAs is expensed using an accelerated method over the term of the award once we have determined that it is probable
that performance milestones will be achieved. Compensation expense for RSUs and RSAs that contain performance conditions is based on the grant date fair
value of the award. Compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period based on management's best estimate as to whether it is probable that the
shares awarded are expected to vest. We assess the probability of the performance milestones being met on a continuous basis.

        Compensation expense for purchases under the ESPP is recognized based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of offering, less the purchase
discount percentage provided for in the plan.

        We have not recognized, and do not expect to recognize in the near future, any income tax benefit related to employee stock-based compensation expense as
a result of the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets including deferred tax assets related to our net operating loss carryforwards.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs from Non-recourse Notes Payable, due 2029

        In April 2014, we entered into certain note purchase agreements relating to the private placement of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-
recourse 9% fixed rate term notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary.

        The 2029 Notes are secured by a security interest in a segregated bank account established to receive 40% of royalties due to us under the LABA
Collaboration with GSK commencing on April 1, 2014 and ending upon the earlier of full repayment of principal or May 15, 2029. The funds in the segregated
bank account can only be used to make principal and interest payments on the 2029 Notes.

        The 2029 Notes bear an annual interest rate of 9%, with interest and principal paid quarterly beginning November 15, 2014. The 2029 Notes may be
redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at specified redemption premiums. Prior to May 15, 2016, in the event that the specified portion of
royalties received in a quarter is less than the interest accrued for the quarter, the principal amount of the 2029 Notes will increase by the interest shortfall amount
for that period.

        As part of this sale, we incurred approximately $15.3 million in transaction costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the
2029 Notes based on the effective interest method. Since the principal and interest payments on the 2029 Notes are based on royalties from product sales, which
will vary from quarter to quarter, the 2029 Notes may be repaid prior to the final maturity date in 2029. To the extent that the interest or principal payments are
greater or less than our initial estimates or the timing of such payments is materially different than our original estimates, we will prospectively adjust the
amortization of the debt issuance costs. There are a number of factors that could materially affect the amount and timing of the royalty payments due to us under
the LABA Collaboration with GSK, most of which are not within our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the competitive landscape for approved
products and developing therapies that compete with our partnered products, the ability of patients to be able to afford our partnered products, the size of the
market for our partnered products, safety concerns in the marketplace for respiratory therapies in general and with our partnered products in particular, decisions
as to the timing of product launches, pricing and discounts, and other events or circumstances that result in reduced royalty payments, all of which would result in
an impact to the amount of debt issuance costs amortized.

Other Income (Expense), net

        In 2014, other income (expense), net includes the charge of $3.8 million recognized for the other-than-temporary loss on Theravance Biopharma ordinary
shares owned by us.

        In May 2013, we entered into a royalty participation agreement with Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan"). The closing of the transaction was subject to closing
conditions, including the approval of the transaction by Elan's shareholders. Elan's shareholders did not approve the transaction at an Extraordinary General
Meeting. Subsequently, we terminated the agreement and, as a result, Elan paid us a $10.0 million termination fee in June 2013, which is reflected in other
income on the consolidated statements of operations. Other expense is comprised of third party expenses related to the aforementioned royalty participation
agreement and the change in the estimated fair value of the capped-call instruments related to our convertible subordinated notes issued in January 2013, which is
reflected in other expense.

        We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized.

        None of our currently unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective income tax rate if recognized, due to the valuation allowance that currently offsets
our deferred tax assets. We do not anticipate the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions existing at December 31,
2014 will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months.

        We assess all material positions taken in any income tax return, including all significant uncertain positions, in all tax years that are still subject to
assessment or challenge by relevant taxing authorities. Assessing an uncertain tax position begins with the initial determination of the position's sustainability and
is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of each balance sheet date, unresolved
uncertain tax positions must be reassessed, and we will determine whether: the factors underlying the sustainability assertion have changed and whether the
amount of the recognized tax benefit is still appropriate.

        The recognition and measurement of tax benefits requires significant judgment. Judgments concerning the recognition and measurement of a tax benefit
might change as new information becomes available.

Comprehensive Loss

        Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of changes in unrealized
gains and losses on our marketable securities, net of tax.

Related Parties

        Transactions with GSK are described in Note 3, "Collaborative Arrangements".

        Prior to the Spin-Off, Robert V. Gunderson, Jr. was one of our directors. We have engaged Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin &
Hachigian, LLP, of which Mr. Gunderson is a partner, as our primary legal counsel. Fees incurred in the ordinary course of business were $1.3 million in 2014,
$3.2 million in 2013, $1.2 million in 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

        In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which converges the
FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board standards on revenue recognition. Areas of revenue recognition that will be affected include, but are not
limited to, transfer of control, variable consideration, allocation of transfer pricing, licenses, time value of money, contract costs and disclosures. This guidance is
effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, at which time we may adopt the new standard under the full
retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. Early adoption is

not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Net Loss per Share

        Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less RSAs subject to
forfeiture. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less RSAs subject
to forfeiture, plus all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, assuming dilutive potential common shares had been issued for other dilutive
securities.

        For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, diluted and basic net loss per common share was identical since potential common shares were
excluded from the calculation, as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Anti-dilutive Securities

        The following common equivalent shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Share issuances under equity incentive plan and ESPP

LABA Collaboration

Deferred revenue under this agreement was fully recognized in 2013. 

We revised the estimated performance period for the MABA program based on its progress as follows: (i) in the fourth quarter of
2012, resulting in an increase to net loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) in the fourth quarter of
2013, resulting in an increase to net loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We do not expect that these
revisions will have a material impact on future revenue recognized under this program

        In November 2002, we entered into our LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK to develop and commercialize once-daily LABA products for the
treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") and asthma. For the treatment of COPD, the collaboration has developed two combination
products: (1) RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (FF/VI), a once-daily combination medicine consisting of a LABA, vilanterol (VI), and an inhaled corticosteroid
(ICS), fluticasone furoate (FF) and (2) ANORO® ELLIPTA® (UMEC/VI), a once-daily medicine combining a long-acting muscarinic antagonist ("LAMA"),
umeclidinium bromide ("UMEC"), with a LABA, VI. For the treatment of asthma, RELVAR® ELLIPTA® is approved in multiple regions outside of North
America and FF/VI is currently under regulatory review in the U.S.

        As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, we were obligated to
pay milestone fees to GSK totaling $220.0 million, which have had paid in their entirety as of December 31, 2014. Although we have no further milestone
payment obligations to GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we continue to have ongoing development and commercialization activities under
the GSK Agreements that are expected to continue over the life of the agreements. The milestone fees paid to GSK were recognized as capitalized fees paid to a
related party, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon the commercial launch of the product.

        We are entitled to receive annual royalties from GSK on sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® as follows: 15% on the first $3.0 billion of annual global
net sales and 5% for all annual global net sales above $3.0 billion. Sales of single-agent LABA medicines and combination medicines would be combined for the
purposes of this royalty calculation. For other products combined with a LABA from

the LABA Collaboration, such as ANORO® ELLIPTA®, royalties are upward tiering and range from 6.5% to 10%.

        Amortization expense resulting from the milestone fees paid to GSK, which are recognized as capitalized fees paid to a related party, is a reduction to royalty
revenue. When amortization expense exceeds amounts recognized for royalty revenue, negative revenue would be reported in our consolidated statements of
operations.

2004 Strategic Alliance

        In March 2004, we entered into the Strategic Alliance Agreement with GSK where GSK received an option to license exclusive development and
commercialization rights to product candidates from certain of our discovery programs on pre-determined terms and on an exclusive, worldwide basis. Upon
GSK's decision to license a program, GSK is responsible for funding all future development, manufacturing and commercialization activities for product
candidates in that program. In addition, GSK is obligated to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize product candidates from any program that it
licenses. If the program is successfully advanced through development by GSK, we are entitled to receive clinical, regulatory and commercial milestone
payments and royalties on any sales of medicines developed from the program. If GSK chooses not to license a program, we retain all rights to the program and
may continue the program alone or with a third party. GSK has no further option rights on any of our research or development programs under the strategic
alliance.

        In 2005, GSK licensed our MABA program for the treatment of COPD, and in October 2011, we and GSK expanded the MABA program by adding six
additional Theravance-discovered preclinical MABA compounds (the "Additional MABAs"). GSK's development, commercialization, milestone and royalty
obligations under the strategic alliance remain the same with respect to GSK961081 ('081), the lead compound in the MABA program. GSK is obligated to use
diligent efforts to develop and commercialize at least one MABA within the MABA program, but may terminate progression of any or all Additional MABAs at
any time and return them to us, at which point we may develop and commercialize such Additional MABAs alone or with a third party. Both GSK and we have
agreed not to conduct any MABA clinical studies outside of the strategic alliance so long as GSK is in possession of the Additional MABAs. If a single-agent
MABA medicine containing '081 is successfully developed and commercialized, GSK is required to pay royalties of between 10% and 20% of annual global net
sales up to $3.5 billion, and 7.5% for all annual global net sales above $3.5 billion. If a MABA medicine containing '081 is commercialized as a combination
product, such as '081/FF, the royalty rate is 70% of the rate applicable to sales of the single-agent MABA medicine. For single-agent MABA medicines
containing an Additional MABA, GSK is required to pay royalties of between 10% and 15% of annual global net sales up to $3.5 billion, and 10% for all annual
global net sales above $3.5 billion. For combination products containing an Additional MABA, such as a MABA/ICS combination, the royalty rate is 50% of the
rate applicable to sales of the single-agent MABA medicine. If a MABA medicine containing '081 is successfully developed and commercialized in multiple
regions of the world, GSK could be required to pay total contingent payments of up to $125.0 million for a single-agent medicine and up to $250.0 million for
both a single-agent and a combination medicine. If a MABA medicine containing an Additional MABA is successfully developed and commercialized in multiple
regions of the world, GSK could be required to pay contingent payments of up to $129.0 million. As a result of the transactions effected by the Spin-Off,
however, we are now only entitled to receive 15% of

73

Table of Contents

3. Collaborative Arrangements (Continued)

any contingent payments and royalties payable by GSK from sales of FF/UMEC/VI (and MABA, and MABA/FF) while Theravance Biopharma receives 85% of
those same payments.

Agreements Entered into with GSK in Connection with the Spin-Off

        On March 3, 2014, in contemplation of the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, we, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a series of agreements
clarifying how the companies would implement the Spin-Off and operate following the Spin-Off. We, Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a three-way
master agreement providing for GSK's consent to the Spin-Off provided certain conditions were met. In addition, we and GSK also entered into amendments to
the GSK Agreements, and Theravance Biopharma and GSK entered into a governance agreement, a registration rights agreement and an extension agreement.
The three-way master agreement was effective on June 1, 2014 when we transferred our research and drug development operations to Theravance Biopharma.
Pursuant to a three-way master agreement entered into by and among us, Theravance Biopharma and GSK in connection with the Spin-Off, we agreed to sell a
certain number of Theravance Biopharma shares withheld from a taxable dividend of Theravance Biopharma shares to GSK. After such Theravance Biopharma
shares were sent to the transfer agent, we agreed to purchase the Theravance Biopharma shares from the transfer agent, rather than have them sold on the open
market, in order to satisfy tax withholdings. GSK had a right to purchase these shares of Theravance Biopharma from us, but this right expired unexercised.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, we owned 436,802 ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma, which are accounted for as marketable securities in the
consolidated balance sheets.

        The amendments to the GSK Agreements do not change the economics or royalty rates under the GSK Agreements, though the assignment of the Strategic
Alliance Agreement and portions of the LABA Collaboration to TRC do change how the economics are allocated between Theravance Biopharma and us. The
amendments to the GSK Agreements do provide that GSK's diligent efforts obligations regarding commercialization matters under both agreements will change
upon regulatory approval in either the United States or the European Union of FF/UMEC/VI or a MABA in combination with FF. Upon such regulatory approval,
GSK's diligent efforts obligations as to commercialization matters under the GSK Agreements will have the objective of focusing on the best interests of patients
and maximizing the net value of the overall portfolio of products under the GSK Agreements. Since GSK's commercialization efforts following such regulatory
approval will be guided by a portfolio approach across products in which we will retain our full interests upon the Spin-Off and also products in which we will
have retained only a portion of our interests upon the planned Spin-Off transaction, GSK's commercialization efforts may have the effect of reducing the overall
value of our remaining interests in the GSK Agreements after the Spin-Off.

Purchases of Common Stock under the Company's Governance Agreement and Common Stock Purchase Agreements with GSK

        In 2014, GSK purchased approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to its periodic "top-up" rights under our Amended and Restated
Governance Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2004, as amended, among us, GSK and certain GSK affiliates, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$38.1 million.

GSK Contingent Payments and Revenue

        The potential future contingent payments receivable related to the MABA program of $363.0 million are not deemed substantive milestones due to the fact
that the achievement of the event underlying the payment predominantly relates to GSK's performance of future development, manufacturing and
commercialization activities for product candidates after licensing the program.

Reimbursement of Research and Development Costs

        Reimbursement of research and development costs from continuing operations is solely related to the GSK Agreements. Under the GSK Agreements, we are
entitled to reimbursement of certain research and development costs. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, research and development costs
reimbursed from GSK was $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million. Reimbursement of research and development costs from other collaborative arrangements
has been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Notes 1, 10 and 11, "Description of Operations and Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies," "Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc." and "Discontinued Operations" for further information.

        We determined that the unrealized loss on our Theravance Biopharma equity securities as of December 31, 2014 was other-than-temporary. Therefore, we
recognized a loss of $3.8 million on these equity securities, which was charged to other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations.

        At December 31, 2014, all of the available-for-sale debt securities had contractual maturities within two years and the average duration of debt securities was
approximately eight months. We do not intend to sell the investments in debt that are in an unrealized loss position, and it is unlikely that we will be required to
sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. We have determined that the gross unrealized losses on our available-
for-sale debt securities at December 31, 2014 were temporary in nature. All available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2014 have
been in a loss position for less than twelve months.

        During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we sold marketable securities totaling $7.2 million, $22.6 million and $49.7 million, and the
related realized gains and losses were not significant in any of these periods.

under the 2012 Plan is equal to 6,500,000 shares plus up to 12,667,411 additional shares that may be added to the 2012 Plan in connection with the forfeiture,
repurchase, cash settlement or termination of awards outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"), the 2008 New Employee Equity
Incentive Plan, the 1997 Stock Plan and the Long-Term Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans") as of December 31, 2011. In connection with the Spin-
Off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc. on June 2, 2014, outstanding stock options and other awards, along with the number of shares remaining available for future
stock options and other awards, were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the 2012 Plan and Prior Plans. An additional 1,373,201 shares were
added to the 2012 Plan share reserve as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment of the outstanding stock options and other awards granted under the 2012 Plan and
the shares remaining available for future grant under the 2012 Plan. The additional 993,130 shares added to the Prior Plans as a result of the anti-dilution
provisions are included in the 12,667,411

additional shares that may be added to the 2012 Plan. While a maximum of 12,667,411 shares could be added to the 2012 Plan from the Prior Plans, this assumes
that all the awards outstanding on December 31, 2011 will be forfeited, repurchased, cash settled or terminated. Therefore, the actual number that may be added to
the 2012 Plan share reserve will likely be lower. No additional awards were made after May 15, 2012 under the 2004 Plan. Stock options and stock appreciation
rights (SARs) will reduce the 2012 Plan reserve by one share for every share granted, and stock awards other than options and SARs granted will reduce the 2012
Plan share reserve by 1.45 shares for every share granted. The 2012 Plan share reserve was also reduced by the number of stock awards granted under the 2004
Plan on or after January 1, 2012, using the same ratios described. As of December 31, 2014, total shares remaining available for issuance under the 2012 Plan
were 3,036,820.

        The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards and SARs to
employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Stock options may be granted with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock
on the grant date. Stock options granted to employees generally have a maximum term of 10 years and vest over a four year period from the date of grant; 25%
vest at the end of one year, and 75% vest monthly over the remaining three years. We may grant options with different vesting terms from time to time. Unless an
employee's termination of service is due to disability or death, upon termination of service, any unexercised vested options will be forfeited at the end of three
months or the expiration of the option, whichever is earlier.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        Under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), our non-officer employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price
equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of each applicable purchase period. The
ESPP provides for consecutive and overlapping offering periods of 24 months in duration, with each offering period composed of four consecutive six-month
purchase periods. The purchase periods end on either May 15th or November 15th. ESPP contributions are limited to a maximum of 15% of an employee's eligible
compensation.

        Our ESPP plan also includes a feature that provides for a new offering period to begin when the fair market value of our common stock on any purchase date
during an offering period falls below the fair market value of our common stock on the first day of such offering period. This feature is called a reset. We had
resets for new twenty-four month offering periods on November 16, 2011, May 16, 2012 and November 16, 2012. We applied modification accounting to
determine the incremental fair value associated with the ESPP resets and recognized the related incremental stock-based compensation expense.

        As of December 31, 2013, a total of 2,025,000 shares of common stock were approved and authorized for issuance under the ESPP. Through December 31,
2013, we had issued 1,740,861 shares under the ESPP at an average price of $11.29 per share. As of December 31, 2013, total shares remaining available for
issuance under the ESPP were 284,139. As a result of our announcement that our Board of Directors had approved plans to separate our businesses into two
independent publicly traded companies, the ESPP was suspended after the November 15, 2013 purchase date and all monies remaining after the purchase were
refunded to employees. Therefore, $0.8 million of compensation expense relating to purchase periods ending after November 15, 2013 was reversed in the fourth

6. Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

quarter of 2013, and any remaining unamortized compensation expense relating to these purchase periods will not be recognized. The ESPP was resumed with the
offering period commencing in November 2014.

Performance-Contingent RSAs

        Over the past three years, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") has approved grants of performance-
contingent RSAs to senior management and a non-executive officer. Generally, these awards have dual triggers of vesting based upon the achievement of certain
performance goals by a pre-specified date, as well as a requirement for continued employment. When the performance goals are probable of achievement for
these types of awards, time-based vesting and, as a result, recognition of stock-based compensation expense commence. Included in these performance-contingent
RSAs is the grant of 1,290,000 special long-term retention and incentive performance-contingent RSAs to senior management in 2011. The awards have dual
triggers of vesting based upon the achievement of certain performance conditions over a six-year timeframe from 2011 through December 31, 2016 and require
continued employment.

        As of March 31, 2014, we determined that the achievement of the requisite performance conditions for vesting of the first tranche of these awards was
probable and, as a result, $6.8 million of the total stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the first quarter of 2014. The total stock-based
compensation expense of $7.0 million for the first tranche was recognized through May 2014.

        In connection with the Spin-Off, our Compensation Committee approved the modification of the remaining tranches related to these awards as the
performance conditions associated with the remaining portions of these awards were unlikely to be consistent with the new strategies of each company following
the separation. The modification acknowledged the Spin-Off and permitted recognition of achievement of certain of the original performance conditions that were
met prior to the Spin-Off, triggering service-based vesting for a portion of the equity awards, for which $3.8 million is expected to be recognized by us during the
twelve-month period that commenced in June 2014. The remaining 63,000 RSAs for which service-based vesting was not triggered at the time of the Spin-Off
remain subject to new performance conditions (as well as the original service conditions). In addition, the RSAs for which both the performance and service-
based conditions were not achieved prior to the Spin-Off were entitled to the pro rata dividend distribution made by Theravance on June 2, 2014 of one ordinary
share of Theravance Biopharma for every 3.5 shares of Theravance common stock subject to their awards, which will also be subject to the same new
performance and service conditions as the original RSAs to which they relate. As of December 31, 2014, we determined that the achievement of the requisite
performance conditions was not probable and, as a result, no compensation cost was recognized for the remaining equity awards.

Performance-Contingent RSUs

        The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has approved grants of performance-contingent RSUs to employees. These awards have
dual triggers of vesting based upon the successful achievement of certain corporate operating milestones in specified timelines, as well as a requirement for
continued employment. When the performance goals are deemed to be probable of achievement for these types of awards, time-based vesting and, as a result,
recognition of stock-based compensation expense commences.

Director Compensation Program

        Our non-employee directors receive compensation for services provided as a director. Each member of our Board of Directors who is not an employee
receives an annual cash retainer for services as a director, member of a committee of the Board of Directors, lead independent director and chairman, as
applicable. In addition, prior to the Spin-Off, each non-employee director was entitled to a cash fee for each board and committee meeting attended.

        Each of our independent directors receives periodic automatic grants of equity awards under a program implemented under the 2012 Plan. These grants are
non-discretionary. Only our independent directors or affiliates of such directors are eligible to receive automatic grants under the 2012 Plan. Under the program,
as amended following the Spin-Off, each individual who first becomes a non-employee director will, on the date such individual joins the Board of Directors,
automatically be granted a one-time grant of RSUs covering a number of shares of our common stock calculated as $250,000 divided by our common stock
closing share price on the date of grant as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the "Initial RSUs"), plus a one-
time grant of RSUs covering a number of shares of our common stock calculated as $250,000 divided by our common stock closing share price on the date of
grant as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market, which would be pro-rated for the number of whole months remaining until the anniversary of the prior year's
stockholders' meeting, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the "Pro Rata RSUs"). The Initial RSUs vest in two equal annual installments, while Pro-Rata
RSUs vest in a single installment at the sooner of the next annual stockholder meeting or the one-year grant anniversary, in each case subject to the non-employee
director's continuous service through the applicable vesting date.

        Annually, upon his or her re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each non-employee director is automatically granted an RSU
covering a number of shares of our common stock calculated as $250,000 divided by our common stock closing share price on the date of grant as reported on
The NASDAQ Global Market, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Annual RSUs will vest at the sooner of the next annual stockholder meeting or the one-
year anniversary of grant, subject to the non-employee director's continuous service through the applicable vesting date.

        These RSUs will vest in full upon the director's death or the occurrence of a Change in Control before the director's service terminates. All director RSUs
will be settled in shares of our common stock on the vesting date. Director RSUs will carry dividend equivalent rights to be credited with an amount equal to all
cash dividends paid on the underlying shares of common stock while unvested. Dividend equivalents will be subject to the same terms and conditions, including
vesting, as the RSUs to which they attach and will be paid in cash upon vesting.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

        In connection with the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, all outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma were distributed to our stockholders as a pro-
rata dividend distribution on June 2, 2014 by issuing one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for every 3.5 shares held of Theravance common stock to
stockholders of record on May 15, 2014. Outstanding stock options and RSUs that were not eligible for the dividend distribution were adjusted for the Spin-Off of
Theravance Biopharma. The number of shares and exercise price for all outstanding stock options were adjusted and the number of shares for all outstanding
RSUs was adjusted. All other terms of these grants remain the same;

81

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

6. Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

provided, however, that the vesting and expiration of these grants are based on the holder's continuing employment or service with us or Theravance Biopharma,
as applicable.

        Although the anti-dilution adjustments were required pursuant to the terms of each stock plan, the anti-dilution adjustments were calculated using a volume-
weighted average stock price, rather than the stock price as of the date of the dividend distribution, which resulted in incremental compensation expense. The
accounting impact of the adjustment to the outstanding stock options and RSUs that occurred in connection with the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma was
measured by comparing of the fair values of the modified stock options and RSUs to our employees and directors immediately before and after the adjustment. As
a result, we recognized incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, of which $0.9 million is included in
discontinued operations. All remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with this adjustment will be recognized by Theravance
Biopharma as it pertains to stock options and RSUs held by individuals now employed by Theravance Biopharma or one if its affiliates.

        In January 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible subordinated notes,
which will mature on January 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"). The financing raised proceeds, net of issuance costs, of approximately $281.2 million, less
$36.8 million to purchase two privately-negotiated capped call option transactions in connection with the issuance of the notes. The 2023 Notes bear interest at
the rate of 2.125% per year that is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2013.

        The 2023 Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 35.9903 shares per $1,000
principal amount of the 2023 Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately

$27.79 per share. Holders of the notes will be able to require us to repurchase some or all of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at 100% of
the principal amount of the notes being repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may not redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date.

        In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes, we entered into two privately-negotiated capped call option transactions with a single counterparty. The
capped call option transaction is an integrated instrument consisting of a call option on our common stock purchased by us with a strike price equal to the
conversion price of $27.79 per share for the underlying number of shares and a cap price of $38.00 per share. The cap component is economically equivalent to a
call option sold by us for the underlying number of shares with a strike price of $38.00 per share. As an integrated instrument, the settlement of the capped call
coincides with the due date of the convertible debt. At settlement, we would receive from our hedge counterparty a number of shares of our common shares that
would range from zero, if the stock price was below $27.79 per share, to a maximum of 2,779,659 shares, if the stock price is above $38.00 per share. However, if
the market price of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds $38.00 per share, there is no incremental anti-dilutive
benefit from the capped call. The aggregate cost of the capped call options was $36.8 million.

        In accordance with the agreement for the 2023 Notes, the conversion rate was adjusted as a result of the completion of the Spin-Off of Theravance
Biopharma. The conversion rate was adjusted based on the conversion rate immediately prior to the record date for the Spin-Off and the average of the stock
dividend distributed to our common stockholders and our stock prices. This resulted in an adjusted conversion rate of 46.9087 shares per $1,000 principal amount
of the 2023 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $21.32 per share. As a result of the conversion rate adjustment, the capped call
strike price and cap price were also adjusted accordingly as $21.32 and $29.16. On July 15, 2014, certain holders of the 2023 Notes converted their notes into
1,519,402 shares of our common stock at the adjusted conversion price of $21.32 per share. In connection with the partial conversion of the 2023 Notes, we
received 149,645 shares of our common stock from our capped call option counterparty and the shares of common stock received were recorded as treasury stock.

        In connection with the payments of the cash dividends during the year ended December 31, 2014, which is further discussed in Note 12, "Dividends
Declared and Paid", the adjusted conversion rate with respect to our 2023 Notes was further adjusted in total from 46.9087 shares of our common stock per
$1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes to 48.3294 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes, which represents an adjusted
conversion price of approximately $20.6913 per share. As a result of the conversion rate adjustment, the capped call strike price and cap price were also adjusted
accordingly to $20.69 and $28.30.

Private Placement of $450 Million of 9% Non-Recourse Notes

        In April 2014, we entered into certain note purchase agreements relating to the private placement of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-
recourse 9% fixed rate term notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary.

        The 2029 Notes are secured by a security interest in a segregated bank account established to receive 40% of royalties due to us under the LABA
Collaboration with GSK commencing on April 1,

85

Table of Contents

7. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

THERAVANCE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2014 and ending upon the earlier of full repayment of principal or May 15, 2029. The amounts in the segregated bank account can only be used to make interest
and principal payments on the 2029 Notes. At December 31, 2014, the balance of the segregated bank account was not material as the 40% of the royalties
received under the LABA Collaboration during the three months ended December 31, 2014 were used to pay interest on the 2029 Notes prior to December 31,
2014.

        The 2029 Notes bear an annual interest rate of 9%, with interest and principal paid quarterly beginning November 15, 2014. The 2029 Notes may be
redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at specified redemption premiums. Prior to May 15, 2016, in the event that the specified portion of
royalties received in a quarter is less than the interest accrued for the quarter, the principal amount of the 2029 Notes will increase by the interest shortfall amount
for that period. During the year ended December 31, 2014, $20.5 million of interest expense was added to the principal balance of the 2029 Notes. Since the
principal and interest payments on the 2029 Notes are based on royalties from product sales recorded by GSK, which will vary from quarter to quarter and are
unknown to us, the 2029 Notes may be repaid prior to the final maturity date in 2029.

        From the net proceeds of the offering of approximately $434.7 million, we established a $32.0 million milestone payment reserve account to fund 40% of
any future milestone payments that could become payable under the LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK. This milestone reserve account was a segregated
bank account and at December 31, 2014, the balance of this account was zero as we had fulfilled our obligation related to the milestone payments.

        As part of this sale, we incurred approximately $15.3 million in transaction costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the
2029 Notes.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease and Lease Guarantee

        Due to the Spin-Off, the leases for the facilities in South San Francisco, California, which formerly served as our headquarters, were assigned to Theravance
Biopharma. We would be held liable by the landlord if Theravance Biopharma defaults under its lease obligations, and thus, we have in substance guaranteed the
payments under the lease agreements for these facilities. As of December 31, 2014, the total lease payments for the duration of the lease, which runs through May
2020, were $33.4 million. We would be responsible for lease-related payments including utilities, property taxes, and common area maintenance, which may be
as much as the actual lease payments. We recorded a non-current liability of $1.3 million in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 related to the
estimated fair value of this lease guarantee. We prepared a discounted, probability-weighted cash flow analysis to calculate the estimated fair value of the lease
guarantee as of the Spin-Off. We were required to make assumptions regarding the probability of Theravance Biopharma's default on the lease payments, the
likelihood of a sublease being executed, and the times at which these events could occur. The fair value of this lease guarantee was charged to additional paid in
capital upon the Spin-Off, and any future adjustments to the carrying value of the obligation will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

        Following the Spin-Off, we entered into a Sublease Agreement with Theravance Biopharma to sublease 4,847 square feet of office space in South San
Francisco, California, which expires in

Special Long-Term Retention and Incentive Cash Awards Program

        In 2011, we granted special long-term retention and incentive cash bonus awards to certain employees. The awards have dual triggers of vesting based upon
the achievement of certain performance conditions over a six-year timeframe from 2011 through December 31, 2016 and continued employment.

        As of March 31, 2014, we determined that the achievement of the requisite performance conditions for the first tranche of these awards was probable and, as
a result, $9.1 million of cash bonus expense was recognized in the first quarter of 2014, the majority of which is included in discontinued operations in the
consolidated statements of operations. In May 2014, the total cash bonus of $9.5 million for the first tranche was paid.

        In connection with the Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee approved the modification of the remaining tranches related to these awards as the
performance conditions associated with the remaining portions of these awards were unlikely to be consistent with the new strategies of each company following
the separation. The modification acknowledged the Spin-Off and permitted recognition of achievement of certain of the original performance conditions that were
met prior to the Spin-Off, triggering service-based vesting for a portion of the cash awards. The amount payable by us under these modified cash bonus awards is
$0.5 million. The remaining tranches of the cash awards were forfeited.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

        We indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits. We believe the fair value of these indemnification
agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recognized any liabilities relating to these agreements as of December 31, 2014.

9. Income Taxes

        Due to ongoing operating losses and the inability to recognize any income tax benefit, there is no provision for income taxes for any periods presented.

        Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income, if any, the timing and the amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the deferred
tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance decreased by $103.8 million in 2014, increased by $70.1 million in 2013, and
increased by $3.0 million in 2012.

        The decrease in the valuation allowance in 2014 was primarily a result of the tax impacts of the Spin-Off transaction. In 2014, the Company recorded a
permanent difference related to the tax gain that was recognized in connection with the Spin-Off, which allowed the Company to utilize approximately
$253.2 million of its federal net operating losses. Accordingly, the associated valuation allowance, of $88.6 million, was released. Additionally as discussed in
Note 10 in connection with the Spin-Off, approximately $9.2 million of deferred tax assets were transferred to Theravance Biopharma, Inc. Accordingly, the
associated valuation allowance was also decreased.

THERAVANCE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        As of December 31, 2014, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,158.3 million, which will expire from 2018 through 2033,
and federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $45.2 million, which will expire from 2018 through 2034. We also had state net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,008.6 million expiring in the years 2015 through 2034 and state research tax credits of approximately
$32.1 million, which do not expire.

        The net operating loss deferred tax asset balances as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 do not include excess tax benefits from stock option exercises.
Stockholders' equity will be credited if and when such excess tax benefits are ultimately realized.

        Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided
by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Annual limitations may result in expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before
some or all of such amounts have been utilized.

        Our policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had no
accrued interest or penalties due to our net operating losses available to offset any tax adjustment.

        We conducted an analysis through 2014 to determine whether an ownership change had occurred since inception. The analysis indicated that two ownership
changes occurred in prior years. However, notwithstanding the applicable annual limitations, no portion of the net operating loss or credit carryforwards are
expected to expire before becoming available to reduce federal and state income tax liabilities.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits are as follows (in thousands):

        In the event that we are able to recognize these uncertain positions, most of the $15.5 million of the unrecognized benefit would reduce our effective tax rate.
We currently have a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which would impact the timing of the effective tax rate benefit, should any of these
uncertain positions be favorably settled in the future. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change
within the next twelve months.

10. Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc.

        On June 1, 2014, we separated our late-stage partnered respiratory assets from our biopharmaceutical research and drug development operations. We
contributed the assets and certain liabilities from the research and drug development operations and $393.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities to Theravance Biopharma. All outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma were then distributed to our stockholders of record on May 15, 2014 as a
pro-rata dividend distribution of one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for every 3.5 shares held of our common stock.

        On June 1, 2014, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with Theravance Biopharma that set forth the terms and conditions of the
separation of Theravance Biopharma from us. The Separation and Distribution Agreement sets forth a framework for the relationship between us and Theravance
Biopharma following the separation regarding principal transactions necessary to separate Theravance Biopharma from us. This agreement also sets forth other
provisions that govern certain aspects of our relationship with Theravance Biopharma after the completion of the separation from us and provides for the
allocation of assets, liabilities and obligations between Theravance Biopharma and us in connection with the Spin-Off.

        In addition, we entered into other definitive agreements in connection with the Spin-Off, including (1) a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which
Theravance Biopharma and we will provide each other with a variety of administrative services, including financial, tax, accounting, information technology,
legal and human resources services, for a period of time of up to 12 months following the Spin-Off, (2) a Tax Matters Agreement that generally governs the
parties' respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the separation with respect to taxes, (3) a Sublease Agreement that provides for the sublease from
Theravance Biopharma to us for certain office space to be utilized in our operations and (4) an Employee Matters Agreement that allocates liabilities and
responsibilities relating to employee compensation, benefit plans, programs and other related matters in connection with the separation, including the treatment of
outstanding incentive awards and certain retirement and welfare benefit obligations. These arrangements contain the provisions related to the Spin-Off and the
distribution of Theravance Biopharma's ordinary shares to our stockholders.

payments under the lease agreements for these facilities. We recorded a non-current liability of $1.3 million in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2014 related to the estimated fair value of this lease guarantee. See Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further information on this lease guarantee.

        Theravance Biopharma's historical results of operations have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the

agreement with R-Pharm CJSC. Revenue from collaborative arrangements in 2012 includes $125.8 million of deferred revenue
recognized from our global collaboration arrangement with Astellas for the development and commercialization of VIBATIV, which was
accelerated as a result of the termination of the Astellas agreement in January 2012, and the recognition of the upfront payment allocated
to licensing of $4.4 million received under the collaborative arrangement with Merck, which was terminated in December 2013. Amounts
from all three of these agreements were transferred to Theravance Biopharma as a part of the Spin-Off.

Product sales were generated from sales of VIBATIV in the U.S. through a limited number of distributors, and title and risk of loss
transfer upon receipt by these distributors. Healthcare providers ordered VIBATIV through these distributors. Commencing in the first
quarter of 2014, revenue on the sale of VIBATIV was recorded on a sell-through basis, once the distributors sold the product to healthcare
providers. Product sales were recorded net of estimated government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, distribution fees, estimated
product returns and other deductions.

Loss from discontinued operations decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily as there was no impact of discontinued operations after
the Spin-Off occurring in June 2014. We had a loss from discontinued operations in 2013 compared to income from discontinued
operations in 2012 primarily as result of net revenue. Included in the loss from discontinued operations for 2014 and 2013 are external
legal and accounting fees in connection with our separation strategy which we started to incur in 2013 and the additional stock-based
compensation and cash bonus expense recognized due to the achievement of performance conditions under a special long-term retention
and incentive equity and cash bonus awarded to certain employees in 2011, which we started to incur in 2014.

12. Dividends Declared and Paid

        During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock to stockholders of
record as of the close of business on August 28, 2014 and November 25, 2014. In 2014, we paid a total of $57.0 million in dividends. Unvested RSAs as of the
record date are also entitled to dividends, which will only be paid when the RSAs vest and are released. For further information on the impact of the payments of
the cash dividends on the 2023 Notes, refer to Note 7, "Long-Term Debt".

13. Subsequent Events

        On February 20, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share dividend for the first quarter of 2015 for all stockholders of record as of the close of
business on March 12, 2015 for a total of approximately $29.2 million. Unvested RSAs as of the record date are also entitled to dividends, which will only be
paid when the RSAs vest and are released. The dividend will be paid to our stockholders on March 31, 2015.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Theravance, Inc.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Theravance, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Theravance, Inc. at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014,
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Theravance Inc.'s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated February 27, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE 

        Not applicable.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

        We conducted an evaluation as of December 31, 2014, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined under SEC rules
as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. Based upon that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable
detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework). Management's assessment included evaluation of such elements
as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment.
Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

        Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.
Their attestation report on the audit of our internal control over financial reporting is included below.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

        Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Theravance have been detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of

95

Table of Contents

effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        On June 2, 2014, we completed the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc. Since the Spin-Off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc., we have significantly
downsized our operations and, as of December 31, 2014, we had ten employees focused on managing our respiratory assets with GSK, the commercial and
developmental obligations associated with the GSK Agreements, intellectual property, licensing operations and providing for certain essential reporting and
management functions of a public company. Under a transition services agreement, Theravance Biopharma, Inc. continues to support the financial reporting
function for Theravance, Inc. during a transition period. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, which occurred during the fourth fiscal
quarter of the year ended December 31, 2014 which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Theravance, Inc.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

        We have audited Theravance, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria).
Theravance, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, Theravance, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the
COSO criteria.

        We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets
of Theravance, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 of Theravance, Inc. and our report dated February 27, 2015, expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

Eric d’Esparbes

Dear Eric:

Theravance, Inc. (“Theravance” or the “Company”) is pleased to offer you the exempt position of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reporting
to me.  Your salary on an annualized basis will be $380,000.  You will be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus of up to 50% of your annual salary,
based on the Company’s performance against its annual goals and a review of your individual performance.  You must be an active employee in good
standing at the time the bonus is paid in order to receive the bonus.  The Company’s bonus percentage targets may change from time-to-time at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors.  This offer will expire on September 12, 2014.

Subject to the approval of the appropriate committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and in consideration of services to be rendered by you, you will
also be granted a restricted stock award for that number of shares of Theravance’s Common Stock equal to $1,750,000 divided by the average closing price of
Theravance’s Common Stock for the 15 trading days ending three full trading days prior to the date of grant.  The restricted stock award will be subject to the
terms and conditions applicable to shares awarded under the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable
Restricted Stock Agreement. The shares will vest in a series of installments as follows: 25% of the shares will vest on the first Company Vesting Date after
the first anniversary of your employment start date (your “Start Date”); and the balance of the shares will vest in 12 equal installments on each Company
Vesting Date thereafter, provided you remain in continuous service through each such vesting date, and as described in the applicable Restricted Stock
Agreement.  A “Company Vesting Date” means February 20, May 20, August 20 or November 20.

Theravance provides a comprehensive company-paid benefits package that begins on your first day of employment.  Benefits are provided by Theravance to
you and your dependents at a minimal cost.  Included are medical, vision and dental coverage, life insurance, long-term disability insurance and a flexible
spending plan.  Additionally, we offer a 401(k) plan and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  Additional information will be provided at New Employee
Orientation shortly after you begin employment.

You will abide by Theravance’s strict company policy that prohibits any new employee from using or bringing with them from any prior employer any
confidential information, trade secrets, proprietary materials or processes of such former employers.  As a consideration of employment, you will be required
to sign our Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement.  In addition,

you will be required to present the documents establishing your legal right to work in the United States as required by the government’s Form I-9.

While we hope that your employment with the Company will be mutually satisfactory, employment with Theravance is for no specific period of time.  As a
result, either you or the Company are free to terminate your employment relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause.  This is the full and
complete agreement between us on this term.  Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and
procedures to which you will be subject, may change from time-to-time, the “at-will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express writing
signed by you and a Senior Officer of the Company.

This offer is contingent upon the successful completion of your background investigation.

There are two copies of this letter enclosed; if all of the foregoing is satisfactory, please sign and date each copy, and return one copy to me, saving the other
copy for yourself.

We are very excited about the possibility of you joining our team and becoming a part of our company!  We look forward to determining a mutually
convenient start date as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 650-238-9616.  We look forward to your favorable response.

Sincerely,

/s/ Michael W. Aguiar

Michael W. Aguiar
President and Chief Executive Officer
