Under Section (C)(5)(b) of Article IV of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) of Theravance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Theravance” or the “Company”), each holder of shares of Theravance’s Common Stock (together with the associated preferred stock purchase rights, the “Common Shares”) has the option to require Theravance to purchase up to fifty percent (50%) of his, her, or its Common Shares (the “Put Right”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Restated Certificate, for $19.375 per Common Share (the “Purchase Price”) during the period between August 1, 2007 and September 12, 2007 (the “Put Period”).

If you elect to exercise your Put Right for any of the Common Shares that you hold, you must properly complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal, along with all stock certificates you hold representing Common Shares, to The Bank of New York, the Depositary for the Put Right, prior to the expiration of the Put Period at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 12, 2007, or such later date as may be publicly announced by Theravance in order to comply with United States federal securities laws (the “Expiration Time”). If you hold shares in book-entry form (also known as “street name”) through a brokerage or other commercial institution or directly with the Depository Trust Company, you must surrender two times (2X) the number of Common Shares for which you wish to exercise the Put Right. You may withdraw your exercise of the Put Right on or before the Expiration Time only if you comply with the instructions in the Notice of Put Right.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

1.                 Sign, date and include your daytime telephone number in this Box #1 of this Letter of Transmittal.

2.                 PLEASE SIGN IN BOX 2 TO CERTIFY YOUR TAXPAYER ID OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER if you are a U.S. Taxpayer. If the Taxpayer ID or Social Security Number is incorrect or blank, write the corrected number in Box 2 and sign to certify. Please note that The Bank of New York may withhold 28% of your proceeds as required by the IRS if the Taxpayer ID or Social Security Number is not certified on our records. If you are a non—U.S. Taxpayer, please complete and return form W-8BEN.

3.                 If you choose to exercise the Put Right for the maximum amount (50%) of the Common Shares that you hold, mark an X in the appropriate box. If you choose to exercise the Put Right only for a smaller portion of these Common Shares, please write in that number of shares on the space provided. You must send all of your certificates representing Common Shares to The Bank of New York along with this executed Letter of Transmittal if you exercise the Put Right. You will be paid the Purchase Price of $19.375 per Common Share for only those Common Shares for which you have exercised the Put Right. As noted above, you must send in all of your certificates representing Common Shares. It is important to note that the Common Shares that you choose to put will be taken pro-rata from each of the stock certificates held by you. If you hold shares in book-entry form (also known as “street name”) through a brokerage or other commercial institution or directly with the Depository Trust Company, you must surrender two times (2X) the number of Common Shares for which you wish to exercise the Put Right.

                           If your Common Shares are held as certificates, but some or all of them have been lost, destroyed or stolen, please check the appropriate box in Box 3 above, complete this Letter of Transmittal, and deliver it to The Bank of New York at one of the addresses set forth below. The Bank of New York will then forward to you the documentation necessary to be completed in order for you to receive the Purchase Price.

4.                 If your Common Shares are held as certificates and you elect to exercise the Put Right for any amount of these Common Shares, please enter the number of shares represented by certificates that you are returning to The Bank of New York along with this Letter of Transmittal in Box #4. As this number will be more than the total number of Common Shares for which you wish to exercise the Put Right, The Bank of New York will send you a Direct Registration Transaction Advice representing the balance of your Common Shares for which the Put Right has not been exercised. The Direct Registration Transaction Advice represents shares held in your name and tracked electronically (in book-entry form) on Theravance’s records, which are maintained by The Bank of New York as its transfer agent.

5.                 If you would like your check to be issued in any name other than the name on your current account, please fill in Box #5. Any such instructions from you in Box #5 must be Medallion Guaranteed by a participating financial institution.
