hereof, that such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights, and the Company may suspend the exercisability of the

thereof. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of
the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect.

and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights that will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected
pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights that have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;7(e)
hereof) held by each registered holder of Rights.</P>

Agreement</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>SEATTLE, May 22, 2014</B> &mdash; Atossa Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ:
ATOS) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a stockholder rights agreement. The stockholder
rights agreement is designed to deter coercive, unfair, or inadequate takeovers and other abusive tactics that might be used in
an attempt to gain control of Atossa without paying all stockholders a fair price for their shares. The stockholder rights agreement
will not prevent takeovers at a full and fair price, but is designed to deter coercive takeover tactics and to encourage anyone
attempting to acquire Atossa to first negotiate with the Board of Directors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Under the terms of the stockholder rights agreement, the rights
agent will distribute to the Company&rsquo;s stockholders a non-taxable dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right
for each share of Atossa&rsquo;s Common Stock held as of the close of business on May 26, 2014. Each right is attached to and trades
with the associated share of Common Stock. The rights will become exercisable only if one of the following occurs: (1)&nbsp;a person
becomes an &ldquo;Acquiring Person&rdquo; by acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or more of Atossa&rsquo;s Common Stock, or,
in the case of a person who beneficially owned 15% or more of Atossa&rsquo;s Common Stock on the date the stockholder rights agreement
was executed, by acquiring beneficial ownership of additional shares representing 2% (excluding compensatory arrangements) of Atossa&rsquo;s
Common Stock then outstanding, or (2)&nbsp;a person commences a tender offer that, if consummated, would result in such person
becoming an Acquiring Person.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">If a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each right will entitle
the holder, other than the Acquiring Person and certain related parties, to purchase a number of shares of Atossa&rsquo;s Common
Stock with a market value that equals twice the exercise price of the right. The initial exercise price of each right is $15. If
Atossa is acquired in a merger or similar business combination transaction at any time after a person has become an Acquiring Person,
each holder of a right (other than the Acquiring Person and certain related parties) will be entitled to purchase a similar amount
of stock of the acquiring entity.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The rights will expire on May 26, 2024, unless the rights are
earlier redeemed or exchanged.</P>
