17 Safety: Treatment Related Adverse Events  17.6 % of the AEs were reported as related (definitely or possibly)  All AEs were mild or moderate in severity  * One patient withdraw after experiencing hypersensitivity (urticaria, rash) during the first infusion  Negative for IgG and IgE antibodies  Premedication with subsequent infusions refused  No emergent safety concerns from last report at WORLD 2011 AEs # Patients (%)# events Headache2 (7.7%)2 Infusion-related reaction (headache, fatigue, weakness after infusion) 2 (7.7%)3 Hypersensitivity*1 (3.8%)1 Flushing1 (3.8%)3 Weight increase1 (3.8%)1 Asthenia1 (3.8%)1 ALT increase1 (3.8%)1 GGT increase1 (3.8%)1 Pruritus1 (3.8%)9 Lethargy1 (3.8%)1 Diarrhea1 (3.8%)1

19 Summary – Switched Patients Efficacy  Overall, patients remained stable with regards to the main disease parameters (hemoglobin, platelet count, spleen and liver volume and chitotriosidase) after switching from imiglucerase to taliglucerase alfa Safety  All AEs were mild or moderate and transient in nature, none of the patients are receiving premedication  All patients continue to receive taliglucerase except the one patient with hypersensitivity who declined to continue infusions with premedication This study demonstrates that taliglucerase alfa has the potential to be an alternative treatment for Gaucher disease
