To Our Clients:
Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated December 7, 2017 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related American Depositary Share Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the "ADS Letter of Transmittal"), corresponding to the offer by Novartis Groupe France S.A., asociété anonyme organized under the laws of France ("Purchaser") and a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Novartis AG, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland, to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.10 per share (each, an "Ordinary Share," and collectively, the "Ordinary Shares"), including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (each of which represents two Ordinary Shares) (each, an "ADS," and collectively, the "ADSs") of Advanced Accelerator Applications S.A., asociété anonyme organized under the laws of France, for U.S. $41.00 per Ordinary Share and U.S. $82.00 per ADS, in each case, payable net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any withholding taxes that may be applicable, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and ADS Letter of Transmittal (together with the Offer to Purchase, the Ordinary Share Acceptance Form and other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer").
We (or our nominees) are the holder of record of ADSs held by us for your account. A tender of such ADSs can be made only by us as the holder of record and pursuant to your instructions.
Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish to have us tender on your behalf any or all of the ADSs held by us for your account, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related ADS Letter of Transmittal.
THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON JANUARY 19, 2018 (WHICH IS THE END OF THE DAY ON JANUARY 19, 2018), UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
Your attention is directed to the following:
1. The Offer commenced on December 7, 2017 and will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on January 19, 2018 (which is the end of the day on January 19, 2018), unless the Offer is extended (the latest time and date at which the Offer will expire, the "Expiration Date").
2. The Offer is being made for all Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs.
3. The Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions as described in the section "The Tender Offer—Conditions of the Offer" of the Offer to Purchase.
4. Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or person (other than certain parties as described in the section "The Tender Offer—Fees and Expenses" of the Offer to Purchase) for soliciting tenders of ADSs pursuant to the Offer. Banks, brokers, dealers and other nominees may, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing, handling and out of pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding materials relating to the Offer to their customers.
5. Under no circumstances will Purchaser pay interest on the consideration paid for ADSs pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any delay in making such payment (see "The Tender Offer—Terms of the Offer—Consideration and Payment" of the Offer to Purchase).
6. If a holder of ADSs that is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes does not provide a properly completed Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9 that is signed under penalties of perjury, and which includes the holder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number (which generally is the holder's social security or federal employer identification number), or does not otherwise establish an exemption, such holder may be subject to required backup U.S. federal income tax withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) of the gross proceeds payable to such holder in exchange for its ADSs. A copy of IRS Form W-9 is included with the ADS Letter of Transmittal. A tendering holder of ADSs that is not a U.S. person may establish such holder's exemption from backup withholding by submitting to the applicable withholding agent a properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, which The Bank of New York Mellon (the "ADS Tender Agent") will provide upon request and which may be obtained from the IRS on its Internet website: www.irs.gov (see "The Tender Offer—Procedures for Tendering into the Offer—Backup United States Federal Income Tax Withholding" of the Offer to Purchase).
7. Holders of ADSs that cannot deliver all required documents to make a valid tender to the ADS Tender Agent before 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the Expiration Date may nevertheless tender such ADSs by contacting their broker or custodian in order to execute a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and following the guaranteed delivery procedures as described in the section "The Tender Offer—Procedures for Tendering into the Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" of the Offer to Purchase.
A tender of the ADSs held by us (or our nominee(s)) for your account may only be made by us, as the holder of record of the ADSs, pursuant to your instructions. If you wish to have us tender any or all of the ADSs held by us for your account, please so instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us in the enclosed envelope the instruction form set forth below. If you authorize the tender of your ADSs, all such ADSs will be tendered unless otherwise specified. Please forward your instructions to us in ample time to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf prior to the expiration of the acceptance period under the Offer. An envelope in which to return your instructions to us is enclosed for your convenience.
