"I was very pleased to see such a strong turnout of shareholders showing their support of our Company; it was a pleasure meeting face-to-face with everyone," commented Leo Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer at Cellceutix. "There was a lot of dialogue about corporate development, our clinical pipeline and advancing the rest of our portfolio, but the one thing that really struck me was all of the comments about the enormous size of the 100 Cummings Center office building. Most of the shareholders attending had never seen the building or our offices and lab within them in person and they were completely misled by the article of an anonymous blogger on Seeking Alpha alleging we operate out of an empty office building. It really speaks to the impact that such a malicious, frivolous publication can have to confuse investors and try to impede development of new drugs that are critical to the people that need them. These unethical, anonymous authors don't realize the actual damage they do. If they can make a dollar, they don't care about hurting thousands of people. Interacting with CTIX shareholders, seeing their reaction to our office building and listening to their disgust with Seeking Alpha article simply further fuels my passion to create a monumental success in healthcare and fight to see that justice is served to the individuals behind that article."

2. Mr. Ehrlich read an email received the preceding day from a shareholder and his response.
Shareholder: My Son (6.5 Years Old) and myself, both shareholders in Cellceutix are cheering Cellceutix's Work.
Both of us would like to give thanks for hard work done and accomplishments achieved. We are truly impressed with how much is done with so little.
It is a rare opportunity and privilege to join & support... We have been here for over 5 years now as shareholders and we plan to be here for many years to come.
Hopefully, my son Tom will get a rare lesson as to what can occur when good intentions meet great minds, aligned interests and just a bit of 'Mazal' (luck).
Congrats for the First shareholders meeting, may the future ones bring wealth & health to our clients, and to all the long term shareholders.
Upwards and Onwards!
Cellceutix Response: Thank you to you and your son for being shareholders of CTIX. We are working hard to take this "over the finish line" and help make a huge impact in better treatments for the diseases we targeted. I want your son to be proud of being an early shareholder and helping with this goal. There are 7.3 billion people on earth at this moment. According to the Population Reference Bureau in Washington, there are 108 billion people that lived in history. If we are successful, it's because of shareholders like you and your son. You would have made a difference and have achieved a legacy that most will never achieve. Time will tell.
3. Mr. Ehrlich addressed shareholders about the Seeking Alpha article, "Please be assured that it is my expectation that the authors will pay a heavy price. I wonder why people would do such an obvious violation of law and think they will get away with it. Meetings have already been had with the SEC and are in progress with Federal and State law enforcement. These things take time. The wheels of justice may seem to take time to start rolling, but they will roll."
Management thanked shareholders for joining them at the shareholders meeting and for helping "in doing something great for this world."

About Cellceutix:
Headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, Cellceutix is a publicly traded company under the symbol "CTIX". Cellceutix is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies in oncology, dermatology and antimicrobial applications. Cellceutix believes it has a world-class portfolio of compounds and is now engaged in advancing its compounds and seeking strategic partnerships. Cellceutix's anti-cancer drug Kevetrin is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial at Harvard Cancer Centers' Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In the laboratory Kevetrin has shown to induce activation of p53, often referred to as the "Guardian Angel Gene" due to its crucial role in controlling cell mutations. Cellceutix is in a Phase 2 clinical trial with its novel compound Brilacidin-OM for the prevention of Oral Mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer. Brilacidin-OM, a defensin mimetic compound, has shown in an animal model to reduce the occurrence of severe ulcerative oral mucositis by more than 94% compared to placebo. Cellceutix's anti-psoriasis drug Prurisol is in a Phase 2 trial. Prurisol is a small molecule that acts through immune modulation and PRINS reduction. Cellceutix's lead antibiotic, Brilacidin, has completed a Phase 2b trial for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections, or ABSSSI. Top-line data have shown a single dose of Brilacidin to deliver comparable clinical outcomes to the FDA-approved seven-day dosing regimen of daptomycin. Brilacidin has the potential to be a single-dose therapy for certain multi-drug resistant bacteria (Superbugs). Cellceutix has formed research collaborations with world-renowned research institutions in the United States and Europe, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the University of Bologna.
