	3.	 	NEWS RELEASE:
	 
	 	 	A news release describing this material change was issued on February 22, 2011 on
“Marketwire”. A copy of the news release is available on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com.
	 
	4.	 	SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE:
	 
	 	 	On February 22, 2011, Theratechnologies Inc. (the “Company”) announced a new clinical
program for muscle wasting in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) using the
Company’s lead compound, tesamorelin, a human growth hormone
releasing factor (“GRF”) analogue.
	 
	5.	 	FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE:
	 
	 	 	On February 22, 2011, the Company announced a new clinical program for muscle wasting in
COPD using the Company’s lead compound, tesamorelin, a GRF
analogue.
	 
	 	 	Based on tesamorelin’s anabolic properties, the Company has chosen to pursue the
development of its lead compound in muscle wasting in patients with COPD as its second
indication. COPD is characterized by progressive airflow obstruction due to chronic
bronchitis or emphysema leading in certain cases to muscle wasting, a decrease of muscle
mass and deterioration in functionality. Previously, the Company completed a Phase 2 trial
in stable ambulatory COPD patients which demonstrated a statistically significant increase
in lean body mass. The Company intends to commence a second Phase 2 clinical study in the
second half of 2011 to test different dosages of tesamorelin with a new formulation.
	 
	 	 	The Phase 2 clinical study will evaluate the use of tesamorelin in a randomized, placebo
controlled study with approximately 200 COPD patients, in Global Initiative for Chronic
Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage II and III, with muscle wasting.

	 	 	Patients will be randomized to receive either one of two different dosages of tesamorelin
or placebo each day for six months. Theratechnologies intends to randomize its first
patient in the second half of 2011. The primary endpoint will be an increase in lean body
mass. Other efficacy endpoints will be measured, such as a six-minute walking distance
test, exercise
endurance time, and quality of life (daily activities). Safety assessments will include
monitoring of adverse events and laboratory evaluations. If the Phase 2 study is
successful, two Phase 3 studies (one pivotal and one confirmatory) are to be conducted in
parallel. This clinical trial program is estimated to take approximately four years and
will use a new and more concentrated formulation of tesamorelin. The new formulation will
require a smaller volume of injection and is expected to be stable at room temperature.
