GEOVAX LABS, INC. FINANCING UPDATE

ATLANTA, GA, July 28, 2010 GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTC BB: GOVX), an Atlanta-based, biopharmaceutical

firm (the Company ) developing human vaccines and therapeutics for diseases caused by HIV-1 (Human

Immunodeficiency Virus), previously announced that it has deferred the offering it filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission to sell shares and warrants. The Company cited a decline in its

share price that coincided with turbulent general stock market conditions as a reason for its

Management is reassessing fundraising options and anticipates commencing a smaller offering of

securities sometime after Labor Day. Details for such an offering have not been finalized, but it

will likely not include selling stockholders. Current thinking is to conduct a $5 million to $10

million offering to retail and institutional investors. However, before offering or selling any

securities, the Company will amend its registration statement on file with the Securities and

Exchange Commission to reflect changes in the terms of the proposed offering, and to update other

GeoVax President and CEO Robert T. McNally, Ph.D. noted, The offering we deferred was intended to

give us the financial resources to be much more aggressive in our approach to our clinical pathways

but turned out not to be achievable as our stock price declined and general market conditions

deteriorated. The underlying fundamentals at GeoVax and the strength of our science, however, have

not changed. Neither has our enthusiasm for the Company s prospects or our excitement about

developments with our vaccines. We remain bullish about our science and the potential for our

vaccines and therapeutics.

Given the current conditions in the broad market and a stock price we believe undervalues GeoVax,

the decision was made to defer the offering and rethink our strategy, Dr. McNally continued. The

reverse stock split we implemented earlier this year brings us closer to meeting requirements for

eventual listing on a major stock exchange, which remains a goal for the Company. A successful

smaller offering later this year will give the Company funds it needs to make solid progress into

2012 while being less dilutive to our shareholders.

Final decisions on conducting a smaller offering will not be made until later.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and

Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may

offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.
