COMPLETION OF ASPEN GLOBAL’S ACQUISITION OF AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT PORTFOLIO FROM GSK

Shareholders are referred to the Aspen Holdings SENS announcement of 15 August 2012 in which
shareholders were advised that Aspen Global Incorporated (“Aspen Global”), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Aspen Holdings, had reached agreement with GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”) for the acquisition of a portfolio
of 25 established pharmaceutical products (“the Products”) distributed in Australia (“the Transaction”).

The Transaction was subject to the following conditions precedent:
 -The approval of the Australian competition authorities; and
 -The approval of the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board.

Aspen Holdings is pleased to announce that both these conditions precedent have been met and that the
Transaction has, as a result, been completed with effect from 30 November 2012. Shareholders are further
advised that the final consideration in respect of the Transaction has reduced from GBP 172.0 million to
GBP 163.8 million. This reduction was due to the completion of the Transaction being subject to one of the
pharmaceutical products originally included in the Transaction being excluded and the completion of the
Transaction being delayed beyond 31 October 2012.
