Board of Directors believes approval of Proposal 4 is in the best
interests of Palatin and its stockholders because even though
Palatin has sufficient operating cash for at least two years and
does not have any current plans to offer any additional stock in

the necessary resources Palatin requires to take advantage of any
strategic opportunities that could result in an increase in
stockholder value. Proposal 4 is described in more detail in
Palatin's proxy statement dated May 11, 2020, furnished to
