Trademark Guidelines

XENOPORT® is a registered trademark of XenoPort, Inc. The XENOPORT trademark is registered in the US, Switzerland and in the European Union. The countries in the European Union are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech, Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. There is also a XENOPORT trademark application pending in India.

Use of the XENOPORT® trademark by Reckitt should be attributed to XenoPort, Inc. An example of the correct format would be, “XENOPORT® is a registered trademark of XenoPort, Inc.” or XENOPORT is a trademark of XenoPort, Inc.

While use of the trademark is not limited to any particular type font or color, acceptable type fonts include Ariel and Times New Roman; and preferred type font colors include black and dark blue. Type font size is not limited, but is preferable large enough to comfortably read without magnification (e.g., font size 8 or larger). The trademark can be used with either (i) all capital letters (XENOPORT®), (ii) with only the X and P capitalized and the other letters remaining lower case (XenoPort®) or (iii) with only the X being capitalized and the other letters remaining lower case (Xenoport®), the first of these three options being preferred.

The trademark should be used with either a superscript TM or ® symbol. The ® symbol should be used in those jurisdictions where the trademark is registered (US and the Europe Union) and the TM symbol should be used elsewhere.

The trademark should be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, the [name] product uses XENOPORT® engineered prodrug technology.

Care should be taken to distinguish use of the XenoPort company name from the XENOPORT® trademark. For example XENOPORT® is a registered trademark of XenoPort, Inc. The superscript TM and/or symbols should not be used directly with the company name. For example, the [name] product uses technology licensed from XenoPort®, Inc. would be incorrect usage.

All use by Reckitt of the XENOPORT trademark shall enure to the benefit of XenoPort, Inc.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals and XenoPort Enter Into Global Licensing

Agreement for Arbaclofen Placarbil

Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Plans to Initiate Phase II Trial of Novel Product Candidate

as Potential Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorders

RICHMOND, Va. and SANTA CLARA, Calif. (May 15, 2014) — Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. and XenoPort, Inc. (NASDAQ: XNPT) announced today that they have entered into a license agreement pursuant to which Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals will be granted exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of XenoPort’s clinical-stage oral product candidate arbaclofen placarbil for all indications. Arbaclofen placarbil is a patent protected new chemical entity that Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals plans to advance into a Phase IIB proof-of-concept study for the treatment of alcohol use disorders — a condition affecting more than 140 million people worldwide.(1),(2)

Alcohol use disorders are a global public health issue,(2) with an annual economic burden of $224 billion in the United States alone.(3) Alcoholism is directly responsible for more than 2.5 million deaths each year and is a causal factor in over 60 other major types of disease.(2) The current treatment approach is predominantly psychosocial support and is largely non-medicalized.(4) The majority of healthcare professionals feel underequipped to manage patients with substance abuse — including alcoholism — based on currently available standards of care.(4)

“Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals recognizes that there is a tremendous need for more effective, well-tolerated treatment options among the growing patient population with alcohol use disorders, and we believe arbaclofen placarbil is a natural fit for our growing addiction treatment pipeline,” said Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, CEO, Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. “Over the past decade, we have demonstrated our leadership in the challenging addiction space by helping patients struggling with the chronic disease of opioid dependence access treatment. We are proud to focus our clinical development experience along with our global regulatory and go-to-market infrastructure to potentially bring arbaclofen placarbil to market as a new choice for the many patients with alcohol use disorder” and the healthcare professionals who treat them.”

Arbaclofen placarbil will be tested for its ability to suppress alcohol cravings, reduce alcohol intake and to possibly facilitate maintenance of abstinence in alcohol dependent people.(5),(6) In prior clinical trials, arbaclofen placarbil has demonstrated attributes that may enable convenient dosing, stable plasma exposure and good tolerability.(7)

“We believe that Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals will be an excellent partner for the further development of arbaclofen placarbil, given their track record of success in the treatment of

addiction disorders. XenoPort has completed a substantial amount of preclinical, clinical pharmacology and manufacturing work and has dosed over 1,300 human subjects with arbaclofen placarbil in various clinical trials,” said Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Ph.D., CEO, XenoPort, Inc. “We are very pleased to leverage this work with a partner that now has an exciting opportunity to develop a potential new effective, safe and conveniently dosed medicine that could address an important medical and societal problem.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals will receive exclusive rights to develop and commercialize arbaclofen placarbil worldwide for all indications, subject to certain rights by XenoPort to negotiate with Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals on collaborations for non-addiction indications. In exchange for these rights and upon effectiveness of the agreement, XenoPort is entitled to receive an up-front, non-refundable cash payment of $20 million and another $5 million upon the transfer of certain technology and materials to Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals. XenoPort also will be eligible to receive aggregate cash payments of up to $70 million upon the achievement by Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals of certain development and regulatory milestones, as well as up to $50 million for commercial milestones. In addition, XenoPort is entitled to receive tiered double-digit royalty payments up to the mid-teens on a percentage basis on potential future net sales of arbaclofen placarbil in the United States and high single-digit royalty payments on potential future net sales outside the United States.

The agreement is subject to review by the U.S. Government under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act, as amended, and will become effective only after clearing review.
