Statement of the Chief Executive Officer of UCB Group to the 2007 Annual General Shareholders Meeting

Brussels (Belgium) - April 26, 2007, 1:00 pm CET - “2006 was a year of considerable achievement for UCB, underlining our ability to build global specialists brands such as Keppra® and consolidate the allergy franchise. The year also highlighted the quality of UCB’s science, reflected by the significant progress that was made during the year in R&D.
