Re:
Comment Letter—GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”) Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2013
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
We appreciated the opportunity to speak
with your colleague Mark Brunhofer today in connection with the comment letter dated May 15, 2014 relating to GSK’s Annual
Report on Form 20-F for 2013. As requested, this is a brief note to indicate that GSK intends to respond to the comments by June
13, 2014.
The preparation of a response to staff
comment letters typically involves a number of GSK business, financial and legal personnel, as well as members of the GSK audit
team from PricewaterhouseCoopers and outside counsel. Arranging for this involvement in order to meet the requested deadline would
be difficult.
You can reach either me, or my colleague
Rachel Serlen, at my number above. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance
at this time.
Yours sincerely,
/s/ Sebastian R. Sperber
