Yitzhak Peterburg, M.D.
Chairman of the Board
Teva Pharmaceuticals

Dear Dr. Peterburg:

I have had the privilege to serve as a Director of Teva Pharma since 2013.
During the same time, I have gradually expanded my executive responsibilities as
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kite Pharma. Given my
confidence in the future of Teva, and my commitment to Kite, I have reached the
difficult conclusion that I must relinquish my role as a director for Teva in
order to serve Kite’s shareholders and employees at this critical juncture in
Kite’s growth.  With several critical milestones on the horizon for Kite and the
responsibilities these developments will entail, I am compelled to step down
from my role on the Board of Teva and hereby request my resignation, effective
January 26, 2017.

Kite has grown in the past three years from eight employees to over 420
employees, and we are leading a revolution in cancer therapy with our lead
product candidate, KTE-C19, an engineered T cell immunotherapy with the
potential to transform the treatment of hematological cancers.  Last week, we
announced that we met with the FDA for a pre-BLA meeting and as a result, we
will be initiating a rolling submission for the first ever CAR-T therapy in
December 2016. We also remain on track for commercial launch in 2017. I do not
take the responsibility of advancing a potentially life saving therapy for
cancer patients lightly. The same holds true as I think of the needs of Teva
Pharmaceuticals and its ability to reach millions of patients with its
life-saving products.

The improvement of patient health and wellbeing has been my life’s work.  From
my early days at the National Cancer Institute, to my time as a UCLA Professor
and surgeon, to the good fortune I have today as I work with leaders in the
healthcare industry, I have embraced the never-ending challenge to make a
difference for patients around the world.

It has been a personal honor to serve on Teva’s Board of Directors for the last
three years.  My enthusiasm for Teva has only grown during my tenure as the
Chair of the Science and Technology committee. In my view, no other global life
science company has the same breadth of opportunity to protect the health of
people around the world.  Teva is prepared for a bright and dynamic future, and
I hope I assisted to further your efforts in my roles. When I look around the
table during our regular Board meetings, I am impressed by the hard work and
dedication of the members of the Board and their commitment to the company and
its highly talented management. Unfortunately, at the present time, I cannot
devote the time Teva needs and deserves.

While I regret the need for my departure from Teva’s Board at this time, I
remain firmly committed to the company’s success. I encourage the Board to
remain innovative and courageous in this ever-changing environment, as you look
to do what is best for shareholders and patients alike. I promise to continue to
support Teva in any way possible and thank you for the opportunity to serve the
world’s greatest generic company and jewel of Israel’s industry.

With best personal regards,
/s/ Arie Belldegrun, M.D., FACS
