Dear Fellow Titan Pharmaceuticals Stockholder:
As of the date of this letter, we still have not received your vote for the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which is scheduled to be held on March 2, 2020.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT PLEASE VOTE TODAY!
Your Board of Directors strongly recommends that you vote your shares FOR the Reverse Stock Split proposal.
A favorable vote facilitates our ability to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Just as important, it also provides requisite authorized shares of the company to complete any value creating potential business mergers or product acquisitions that we might wish to pursue in the future, as well as raise additional funds, as needed, to finance these activities and our ongoing operations. This proposal requires a majority of the outstanding shares of Titan Pharmaceuticals common stock voting in favor in order to pass, so every vote is important.
The independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co. have reviewed the proxy statement and recommend that stockholders vote FOR this proposal.
WE URGE YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL
Instructions on how to vote your shares over the telephone or Internet are enclosed with this letter. Alternatively, you may sign and return the enclosed voting form in the envelope provided.
If you have questions or need help voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitation firm, Morrow Sodali LLC, at 800-662-5200
Thank you for your investment in Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and taking the time to vote your shares.
| Sincerely, |
Marc Rubin, M.D.
Executive Chairman
