Remain Committed to Their Existing Collaborations

YORK, NY- December 23, 2015 - Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ATNM) ("Actinium"), a biopharmaceutical

company developing innovative drug candidates for the treatment of advanced cancers, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

("MSK") today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement providing for certain liquidity matters

and sale restrictions in respect of the shares of Actinium stock that MSK received as a charitable donation and intends to divest

pursuant to MSK policies. MSK and Actinium remain committed to their research relationship as evidenced by ongoing collaborations,

clinical research contract and involvement in the development of both Actimab-A and Iomab-B via the participation of MSK physician-scientists

on Actinium's Clinical and Scientific Advisory Boards

the terms of the agreement, MSK has agreed to forebear from transferring or otherwise disposing of its approximately 5.7 million

Actinium shares (other than pursuant to a piggyback registration as described below) until the start of the Actimab-A Phase 2

clinical study (but, in no event until later than March 31, 2016). Thereafter MSK shall be permitted to sell its shares subject

to a weekly volume limitation of 150,000 shares (which limit may be increased to up to 250,000 shares per week to the extent any

prior weekly allotments were not fully used) and applicable law so long as MSK maintains at least 25% of its current shareholding

in Actinium through December 31, 2016. Actinium has granted MSK piggyback registration rights that would be triggered in the event

Actinium were to engage in a public registered offering of its shares for its own account where other shareholders are participating

as selling shareholders or where such public registered offering is for the account of other selling shareholders. In addition,

following December 31, 2016, Actinium has granted MSK unlimited Form S-3 registration rights with respect to its shares.

planned divestiture of the shares is consistent with its mandate as a leading non-profit cancer treatment and research institution.

MSK's private company collaboration focuses primarily on pre-clinical and early-stage private companies rather than on publicly

traded late-stage clinical and commercial stage enterprises.

stated, "We look forward to our continued relationship with Actinium in advancing technology that combines the cancer targeting

precision of monoclonal antibodies for targeting specific types of cells with the power of alpha emitting radioisotopes. Our decision

to sell after holding Actinium's stock for several years is driven by MSK's internal policies."

Seth, Executive Chairman of Actinium, stated, "We wish to thank MSK for patiently holding onto ATNM's stock which

they received as a charitable donation. We respect their internal protocols, and the Company believes that this agreement allows

for an orderly divestiture that will protect shareholder value as the volume limitations we have agreed to are not expected by

the Company to create a significant overhang given the trading liquidity of our stock. With the Iomab-B IND cleared by the FDA

and expected to enter into its single, pivotal Phase 3 trial, and Actimab-A expected by the Company to be in Phase 2 next year,

we more than ever look forward to continuing our collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering."

agreement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
