EXPLANATORY NOTE
Nektar Therapeutics (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was originally filed on February 26, 2015 (“Original Filing”), to amend and restate in its entirety the Item 5 of Part II of the Original Filing. The Original Filing inadvertently included a graph depicting the five-year comparison of cumulative return for the period of 2008 to 2013 rather than 2009 to 2014. The only change in this Amendment is to replace that comparison graph with the updated comparison graph from 2009 to 2014.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), this Amendment amends and restates in its entirety Item 5 of Part II of the Original Filing and contains new certifications pursuant to Rule 13a-14 promulgated under the Exchange Act. This Amendment contains only the sections and exhibits to the Original Filing that are being amended and restated, and those unaffected parts or exhibits are not included herein. This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosure contained therein to reflect events that have occurred since the filing of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings, if any, made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including the amendments to those filings, if any.

Information regarding our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2014 is disclosed in Item 12 “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference from our proxy statement for our 2015 annual meeting of stockholders to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Regulation 14A not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Performance Measurement Comparison
The material in this section is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” with the SEC for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall the material in this section be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed with the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
The following graph compares, for the five-year period ended December 31, 2014, the cumulative total stockholder return (change in stock price plus reinvested dividends) of our common stock with (i) the NASDAQ Composite Index, (ii) the NASDAQ Pharmaceutical Index, (iii) the RGD SmallCap Pharmaceutical Index, (iv) the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index and (v) the RDG SmallCap Biotechnology Index. Measurement points are the last trading day of each of our fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2009 in the common stock of the Company, the NASDAQ Composite Index, the Nasdaq Pharmaceutical Index, the RGD SmallCap Pharmaceutical Index, the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index and the RDG SmallCap Biotechnology Index and assumes reinvestment of any dividends. The stock price performance in the graph is not intended to forecast or indicate future stock price performance.
