Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, and other securities laws. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as will, underway, allow, expect(ed), pursuing, may, would, addressing, creating, intends, anticipate(s), plan, partner, could, enables, potential(ly), and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future events such as: the continued commercial performance of our marketed products, including but not limited to BENDEKA, which is marketed by our partner Teva, the ability of SymBio to obtain regulatory approval for its bendamustine products; whether SymBio will be successful at commercializing the licensed products; whether Eagle and SymBio will perform their respective obligations under the license agreement; inaccurate sales forecasts and estimates; forecasted sales of $90 million in 2018; forecasted sales of Bendeka in 2018; SymBios plans to secure regulatory approval of bendamustine HCl in a 500 mL ready to infuse and/or a 50 mL rapid infusion presentation; SymBios target to market the smaller volume product in Japan in 2020; the success of Eagles commercial relationship with SymBio and the companies ability to successfully work together; payments due to Eagle under the license with SymBio, including milestone and royalty payments; Argatroban, which is marketed by Chiesi USA and Sandoz pursuant to separate agreements and Ryanodex, which we market ourselves, as well as our ability to replicate our marketing successes for our other product candidates such as Ryanodex for EHS or other additional indications, our pemetrexed product candidate, our long infusion bendamustine candidate, or our fulvestrant product candidate, either through joint or direct marketing efforts; the potential lack of a need for human safety and efficacy data for the submission of an NDA for Ryanodex and the adequacy of the regulatory pathway to complete an NDA submission; the Companys share repurchase authorization and timing and ability to continue to repurchase shares of the Companys common stock under a share repurchase program; the business path forward for the Company between now and beyond 2026; the label expansions of Ryanodex for EHS patients and for the treatment of ecstasy and methamphetamine intoxication and for the treatment of neurological impact and nerve agent exposure; the strength of the Companys cash position and the ability to optimize the deployment of capital and take advantage of market opportunities; the potential of the Companys pipeline to drive value between now and beyond 2026; the contribution of the Ryanodex portfolio to the Companys growth; the timing of Ryanodex for EHS obtaining FDA approval, if ever, and, entering the market; and the advancement of any of the Companys other product candidates including but not limited to fulvestrant and pemetrexed, through the development process including FDA approval and the ability of any such products to have commercial success and to access significant new markets; and our ability to use the acquisition of Arsia Therapeutics (now Eagle Biologics) to enter into the biologics market and to effectively carry out our strategy in this new market. All of such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond Eagles control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: whether our animal studies will support the safety and efficacy of Ryanodex for the treatment of EHS, ecstasy and methamphetamine intoxication, and neurological impact of nerve gas exposure; whether the FDA will ultimately approve Ryanodex for these indications; whether the FDA will approve our application for pemetrexed, and, if filed, fulvestrant; fluctuations in the trading volume and market price of shares of the Company's common stock, general business and market conditions and management's determination of alternative needs and uses of the Company's cash resources which may affect the Company's share repurchase program; the success of our commercial relationship with Teva and our other marketing partners and the parties ability to work effectively together; whether Eagle and Teva and our other marketing partners will successfully perform their respective obligations under their agreements with us; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the availability and pricing of third party sourced products and materials; the outcome of litigation involving any of our products or product candidates or that may have an impact on any of our products or product candidates, successful compliance with FDA and other governmental regulations applicable to product approvals, manufacturing facilities, products and/or businesses; general economic conditions; the strength and enforceability of our intellectual property rights or the rights of third parties; competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies; the timing of product launches; the successful marketing of our products; the risks inherent in the early stages of drug development and in conducting clinical trials; and other factors that are discussed in Eagles Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 and its other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to revise and disseminate forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of or non-occurrence of any events. 2

2018 Tax Reform Impact Eagle, as a US-based Tax Payer, is expecting to benefit directly from the reduction in the U. S. Corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018 As Eagle expands its portfolio globally, we may benefit further from even lower corporate rates in certain foreign jurisdictions The shift to territorial system obviates the need for U. S. companies to invert 4

Use of illegal stimulants constitutes a growing public health problem in the US and EU1 Over 125,000 ED visits related to MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamine use in the US alone (2011)1 ED visits involving MDMA among patients 21 years and younger grew over 128% between 2005-20111 In 2011, 42% of ED visits among people 18-29 years old involved illicit stimulant drugs1 Associated with body and brain hyperthermia, high incidence of severe cardiovascular and neurologic complications, and lifetime neurologic sequelae2 Can be fatal or lead to permanent damage if not treated promptly2 MDMA (Ecstasy) and Methamphetamine Intoxication 7
RYANODEX® for MDMA (Ecstasy) & Methamphetamine Intoxication FDA suggested and we are broadening the indication to evaluate organ damage and/or severe dysfunction in patients with MDMA and Methamphetamine intoxication No additional preclinical work required to support the efficacy of RYANODEX for this indication A single robust, controlled and well powered clinical trial may be sufficient for filing the NDA Phase II clinical trial for MDMA & Methamphetamine intoxication underway enrollment slower than expected next wave of recruiting expected to begin at the end of March 2018 Patent directed to this indication allowed in August 2017 8 Positive pre-IND Meeting with FDA
Received a CRL from the FDA on July 26, 2017 Eagle and FDA continue to discuss a plan forward Believe strongly in RYANODEX given that there is no pharmacological option available for patients in need for this life-threatening condition Label expansion for an already approved drug No safety or CMC issues Priority review and Fast Track designation RYANODEX® for Exertional Heat Stroke 9
Fulvestrant Opportunity INDICATIONS for FASLODEX ® Currently marketed by AstraZeneca Administered monthly in a doctors office as 2 separate intramuscular injections, one in each buttock FDA has recently required revising the FASLODEX label 10 Faslodex ® is a registered trademark of AstraZeneca. Label expanded in the U.S. to first line breast cancer in August 2017 Monotherapy FASLODEX is indicated for the treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women not previously treated with endocrine therapy, or HR-positive advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women with disease progression following endocrine therapy Combination Therapy FASLODEX in combination with palbociclib is indicated for the treatment of HR-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in women with disease progression after endocrine therapy.
The Problem 2 deep intramuscular injections of high viscosity product per dose of treatment (5 mL each) Administered over 1-2 minutes into each buttock Painful procedure FASLODEX injection reactions have been associated with peripheral nerve adverse reactions, including risk of damaging the sciatic nerve 11
Eagles Solution Innovative formulation administered in far less time (seconds) vs. 1-2 minutes per injection Eagle formulation may allow warning on insert to be eliminated Eagle formulation does not contain castor oil Eagles lower viscosity formulation allows for administration with smaller 23-gauge needle, 25% thinner than the current needle used to administer Faslodex 1X Low viscosity 5 mL dose 2X High viscosity 5 mL doses vs. 12
Fulvestrant Clinical Protocol Pre-IND meeting responses are aligned with Eagles development plan A single PK and safety study in healthy female volunteers may be sufficient for filing Commenced dosing Q4 2017 with last patient being dosed around end of April 2018 Aiming to file an NDA by the early fourth quarter of 2018 Could qualify for a new J-code FDA has agreed to consider not including Injection Site Reaction (Warning & Precautions) language in Eagles label, provided that our clinical data demonstrates a significant safety improvement 13 Positive Regulatory Feedback from FDA
