NEW YORK -- SIGA Technologies, Inc. (SIGA) (NASDAQ: SIGA), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the health security market, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30,
"SIGA's successful second quarter was highlighted by the initial deliveries of TPOXX to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile pursuant to the April option exercises and to the Canadian Department of Defence, as part of our first international
order," said Phil Gomez, CEO of SIGA. "In addition to our strong financial results, we are laying the groundwork for the future; We recently submitted a Marketing Authorisation Application for oral tecovirimat with the European Medicines Agency in
July, and are targeting regulatory submissions within the next six months to Health Canada for oral TPOXX, as well as a New Drug Application for the IV formulation of TPOXX to the FDA. Furthermore, we are preparing clinical protocols to support the
potential expansion of the oral TPOXX label in the U.S. to include Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, a program we are developing with funding from the U.S. Department of Defense."

Recent Key Activities:
Share Repurchase Activity
During the second quarter, SIGA repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of its common stock, for approximately $15.2 million.
Product Delivery Expectations in Connection with the 19C BARDA Contract
Pursuant to options already exercised under the 19C BARDA Contract, SIGA expects to deliver approximately 246,000 courses of oral TPOXX to the SNS (in addition to those courses
recently delivered) by April 2021, and such deliveries may occur in their entirety in 2020. These deliveries are expected to generate revenues of approximately $76 million. In
addition to the above-mentioned expectations, the 19C BARDA Contract has up to $414 million of procurement-related options remaining for future exercise by BARDA.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant societal and economic disruption. Such disruption, and the associated risks and costs, are expected to continue for an indeterminate period of time. Given the
uncertain future course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the uncertain scale and scope of its future impact, the Company is continually reviewing business and financial risks related to the pandemic and is continually seeking coordination with its
government partners with respect to the performance of current and future government contracts. Additionally, the Company is continually coordinating with service providers and vendors, in particular contract manufacturing organizations
("CMOs") that constitute our supply chain, to review actions and risks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not adversely affected the liquidity position of the Company, nor is it currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or annual financial results of
the Company, although the Company cannot provide assurances as to the ultimate impact of the pandemic upon the macro environment or the Company's industry.

ABOUT SIGA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and TPOXX
SIGA Technologies, Inc. is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the health security market. Health security comprises countermeasures for biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear attacks
(biodefense market), vaccines and therapies for emerging infectious diseases, and health preparedness. Our lead product is TPOXX , also known as tecovirimat and ST-246 , an orally administered and IV formulation antiviral drug
for the treatment of human smallpox disease caused by variola virus. TPOXX is a novel small-molecule drug and the US maintains a stockpile of 1.7 million courses in the Strategic National Stockpile under Project BioShield. The
oral formulation of TPOXX was approved by the FDA for the treatment of smallpox in 2018. The full label is here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=fce826ab-4d6a-4139-a2ee-a304a913a253. In September 2018,
SIGA signed a contract potentially worth more than $600 million with BARDA for additional procurement and development related to both oral and intravenous formulations of TPOXX . For more information about SIGA, please visit
Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring and often deadly disease that has affected humans for thousands of years. Naturally-occurring smallpox was eradicated worldwide by 1980, the result of an
unprecedented global immunization campaign. Samples of smallpox virus have been kept for research purposes. This has led to concerns that smallpox could someday be used as a biological warfare agent. A vaccine can prevent smallpox, but
the risk of the current vaccine's side effects is too high to justify routine vaccination for people at low risk of exposure to the smallpox virus.
