Based on age and coexisting medical conditions. CLL-11 efficacy results1 • GAZYVA + Clb demonstrated a 58% reduction in the risk of CLL progression or death vs rituximab + Clb (HR=0.42; 95% CI, 0.33-0.54; P<0.0001) NATIONAL COMPREHENSIVE CANCER NETWORK® (NCCN®) STATUS NCCN Category ® 1 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) category 1 designation5 • Obinutuzumab (GAZYVA®) + chlorambucil is included in the NCCN Guidelines® with a category 1 designation for first-line therapy in the following CLL patients without del(17p)*: – Age ≥70 years – Younger patients (age <70 years) with significant comorbidities – Frail patients with significant comorbidities Note: Category 1 designation is given based upon high-level evidence and uniform NCCN consensus that the intervention is appropriate. For full definitions of the NCCN Categories of Evidence and Consensus, please refer to the NCCN Guidelines, available online at www.nccn.org. * In addition to age and comorbidities, NCCN Guidelines stratify patients based on the mutation status.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation, in some cases resulting • in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death, can occur in patients treated with anti-CD20 antibodies including GAZYVA. HBV reactivation has been reported in patients who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and in patients who are HBsAg negative but are hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive. Reactivation has also occurred in patients who appear to have resolved hepatitis B infection (ie, HBsAg negative, anti-HBc positive, and hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs] positive) HBV reactivation is defined as an abrupt increase in HBV replication manifesting as a rapid increase in serum HBV DNA level, or detection of HBsAg in a person who was previously HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive. Reactivation of HBV • • replication is often followed by hepatitis, ie, increase in transaminase levels and, in severe cases, increase in bilirubin levels, liver failure, and death Screen all patients for HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti-HBc before initiating treatment with GAZYVA. For patients who show evidence of hepatitis B infection (HBsAg positive [regardless of antibody status] or HBsAg negative but antiHBc positive), consult physicians with expertise in managing hepatitis B regarding monitoring and consideration for HBV antiviral therapy Monitor patients with evidence of current or prior HBV infection for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis or HBV reactivation during and for several months following treatment with GAZYVA
