as applicable. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D, as
amended.

may be, as follows:

The disclosure regarding purchases in Item 5(c) below is incorporated
herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the
case may be, as follows:

The Funds hold securities of Seattle Genetics, Inc. (the “Issuer”)
for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may purchase additional securities or dispose of securities
in varying amounts and at varying times depending upon the Reporting Persons’ continuing assessments of pertinent factors,
including the availability of shares of Common Stock or other securities for purchase at particular price levels, the business
prospects of the Issuer, other business investment opportunities, economic conditions, stock market conditions, money market conditions,
the attitudes and actions of the board of directors and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities
to dispose of shares in the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the particular entities. The Reporting Persons may discuss
items of mutual interest with the Issuer, which could include items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.

Depending upon their assessments of the above factors, the Reporting
Persons or their affiliates may change their present intentions as stated above and they may assess whether to make suggestions
to the management of the Issuer regarding financing, and whether to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, including shares
of Common Stock (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, exercise of some or all of the Stock Options
(as defined below), or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer, including shares of Common Stock,
under their control.

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, at the present time, the
Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals with respect to any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer
including, without limitation, those matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

stock as of February 16, 2016 as reported in the Issuer’s 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016. Such percentage figures
were calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

held by each of the Funds, and this Amendment No. 18 shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial
