Announces Resolution of Contract Dispute with Cipla

Mass., November 9, 2021 - Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative

inhaled therapies to address serious pulmonary and non-pulmonary disease using its patented iSPERSE technology, today

announced that it has completed an amendment to Pulmatrix's agreement with Cipla Technologies, LLC ("Cipla") for

costs". The development milestones for Pulmatrix's planned Phase 2b clinical trial include the dosing of 25% of participants

in the clinical trial by June 30, 2023, and the delivery of top-line data results to the joint steering committee for the program by

June 30, 2024. If the development milestones are not achieved within 9-months of such dates either party may terminate its obligation

to fund its share of development costs. Pulmatrix also granted Cipla exclusive rights to the development and commercialization of Pulmazole

in the "Cipla Territory" (India, Nepal, Yemen, Iran, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Algeria) in exchange for, under

certain circumstances, 2% royalties on net sales of Pulmazole in the Cipla Territory. For more information about the 2nd Amendment
