This filing relates solely to preliminary communications made before the commencement of a tender offer (the “Offer”) by BioMarin Falcons B.V., (“Buyer”) a private company with limited liability organized under the laws of The Netherlands and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BioMarin” or the “Company”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Prosensa Holding N.V., a public limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Prosensa”), at a purchase price of $17.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash, plus one non-transferrable contingent value right per Share, which represents the contractual right to receive a cash payment of up to $4.14 per Share upon the achievement of certain product approval milestones, in each case, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2014, by and among Buyer, BioMarin and Prosensa.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Offer described in this communication and related exhibits has not yet commenced, and this communication and related exhibits is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any ordinary shares of Prosensa or any other securities. On the commencement date of the Offer, a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and related documents, will be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Thereafter, Prosensa will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC. The offer to purchase ordinary shares of Prosensa will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed as a part of the Schedule TO.

INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF PROSENSA ARE URGED TO READ BOTH THE SCHEDULE TO (AND THE INCLUDED OFFER TO PURCHASE) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT, AS THEY MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERMS OF THE OFFER, THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND THE PARTIES THERETO.

The tender offer statement will be filed with the SEC by BioMarin and Buyer, and the solicitation/recommendation statement will be filed with the SEC by Prosensa. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of these statements (when available) and other documents filed with the SEC at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by directing such requests to the Information Agent for the tender offer that will be named in the tender offer statement on Schedule TO.
