Dear Titan Stockholder:

 

On December 20, 2019, the Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”) was partially adjourned until Friday, January 17, 2020, solely to allow for additional voting on Proposal 3—approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split Proposal”).

 

Our common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) if our share price is not above $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trading days prior to March 17, 2020. Approval of the Reverse Split Proposal enables our board of directors (the “Board”) to judiciously select an appropriate reverse split ratio to meet Nasdaq’s share price requirement. Without approval of the Reverse Split Proposal, the Board will not be able to prevent the common stock from being delisted from Nasdaq, which may have very serious consequences for our company and our stockholders.

 

While the Reverse Split Proposal has received a substantial favorable vote to date, Delaware law requires a majority of our outstanding shares to approve this proposal. At December 20, 2019, almost 40% of our shares had not been voted. The Board urges you to exercise your right to vote and vote FOR the Reverse Split Proposal. Even if you have already voted against this proposal, you have every right to change your vote.

 

Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own.

 

Please vote TODAY by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Marc Rubin, M.D.

 

Executive Chairman
