As of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, all commercial trademarks mentioned here are protected, and are trademarks

of Sanofi and/or its subsidiaries, with the exception of:

trademarks used or that may be or have been used under license by Sanofi and/or its affiliates;

Cautionary statement regarding

forward-looking statements

This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities law, including

the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. We may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in

our periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K, in our annual report to shareholders, in our offering

circulars and prospectuses, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or

employees to third parties. Examples of such forward-looking statements include:

projections of operating revenues, net income, business net income, earnings per share, business earnings per share, capital

expenditures, cost savings, restructuring costs, positive or negative synergies, dividends, capital structure or other financial

items or ratios;

statements of our profit forecasts, trends, business strategies, plans, objectives or goals, including those relating to products,

clinical studies, regulatory approvals and competition; and

statements about our future events and economic performance or that of France, the United States or any other countries in

which we operate.

Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “can,” “contemplate,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “is designed to,” “may,” “might,”

“potential,” “objective,” "attempt," “target,” “estimate,” “project,” "strategy," "strive," "desire," “predict,” “forecast,” “ambition,”

“guideline,” "seek," “should,” “will,” "goal," or the negative of these and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-

looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with, for

example, the regulatory, economic, financial and competitive environment, including authorities’ decisions regarding whether

and when to approve a product candidate, political pressure in the United States to mandate lower drug prices including “most

favored nation” pricing for State Medicaid programs, and other factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially

from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include risk factors, which could also affect future results and cause actual results to

differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements, and which include those discussed under “Item 3. Key

Information — D. Risk Factors.” Additional risks that are unknown at this time or that are currently considered immaterial by the

Group, may have the same unfavorable effect and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this annual report will prove to be

accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the

significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or

warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame or at all. Moreover,

forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Other than required by law, we do not undertake any

obligation to update them in light of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. These

forward-looking statements are based upon information, assumptions and estimates available to us as of the date of this annual

report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or

incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all

potentially available relevant information. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue

reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein.

You should read this annual report and the documents that we reference in this annual report and have filed as exhibits

completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify

all of our forward-looking statements by these statements.
