<P align=justify style='font:10pt Times New Roman;margin:0'><B>About Volition</B></P>
<P align=justify style='font:10pt Times New Roman;margin:0'>&nbsp;</P>
<P align=justify style='font:10pt Times New Roman;margin:0'>Volition is a multi-national epigenetics company developing simple, easy to use, cost effective blood tests to help diagnose a range of cancers and other diseases. Early diagnosis has the potential to not only prolong the life of patients, but also to improve their quality of life. The tests are based on the science of Nucleosomics&#8482;, which is the practice of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream or other bodily fluid - an indication that disease is present. Volition is primarily focused on human diagnostics but also has a subsidiary focused on animal diagnostics.</P>
<P align=justify style='font:10pt Calibri;margin:0'>&nbsp;</P>
<P style='font:10pt Times New Roman;margin:0'>Volition's research and development activities are centered in Belgium, with a small laboratory in California and additional offices in Texas, London and Singapore, as the company focuses on bringing its diagnostic products to market.</P>

<P align=justify style='font:10pt Times New Roman;margin:0'>&nbsp;</P>
<P align=justify style='font:10pt Times New Roman;margin:0'>Statements in this press release may be &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that concern matters that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected in the forward-looking statements. Words such as &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;aims,&#8221; &#8220;targets,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;seeks,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;optimizing,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;goal,&#8221; &#8220;suggests,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will&#8221; and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements relate to the effectiveness of Volition&#8217;s blood-based diagnostic and prognostic tests, and Volition&#8217;s ability to develop and successfully commercialize such test platforms for early detection of cancer and other diseases. Volition&#8217;s actual results may differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, results of studies testing the efficacy of its tests. For instance, if Volition fails to develop and commercialize diagnostic or prognostic products, it may be unable to execute its plan of operations. Other risks and uncertainties include Volition&#8217;s failure to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals to distribute and market future products; a failure by the marketplace to accept the products in Volition&#8217;s development pipeline or any other diagnostic or prognostic products Volition might develop; Volition&#8217;s failure to secure adequate intellectual property protection; Volition will face fierce competition and Volition&#8217;s intended products may become obsolete due to the highly competitive nature of the diagnostics market and its rapid technological change; downturns in domestic and foreign economies; and other risks identified in Volition&#8217;s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents that Volition files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Volition&#8217;s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and, except as required by law, Volition does not undertake an obligation to update its forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.</P>
