On September 10, 2013 at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Annual Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Spain, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) presented posters containing information from Phase 3 studies of umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VI) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). UMEC/VI is a combination of two investigational bronchodilator molecules - GSK573719 or umeclidinium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) and vilanterol (VI), a long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA), administered using the ELLIPTA™ inhaler. UMEC/VI is under regulatory review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Marketing applications for UMEC/VI have been submitted to regulatory authorities in a number of other countries worldwide. UMEC/VI is in development under the LABA collaboration agreement between Glaxo Group Limited and Theravance, Inc. The posters are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
