<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On March 23, 2005 Myriad
Genetics, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) notified the Nasdaq Stock Market (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) that
Dale A. Stringfellow, director and member of the Company&#146;s Audit Committee, had
passed away on March 18, 2005 due to complications from cancer, and hence, the
Company would no longer comply with Nasdaq&#146;s audit committee requirements.&#160; Under Marketplace Rule 4350, audit committees
must consist of at least three independent directors.&nbsp; By letter dated
March 24, 2005, Nasdaq acknowledged the Company&#146;s notice and confirmed that the
Company would be provided a cure period until the earlier of the Company&#146;s next
annual shareholders&#146; meeting or March 18, 2006 in order to regain
compliance.&nbsp; The Company intends to appoint a qualified successor to the
Company&#146;s Audit Committee so as to be in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350
within the cure period.</font></p>
