<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Thomas J. Shaw, President and CEO of Retractable,
states, &ldquo;Our management is embarking on purchasing the Company&rsquo;s stock because - thanks to the dedication of our shareholders
and continued efforts of our employees - the U.S. government has recognized (as has the medical community) that our technology provides
a significant advantage in terms of eliminating waste of vital and costly medications and helps prevent the unnecessary spread of infectious
diseases. Under these established circumstances, we believe that the Company&rsquo;s stock is significantly undervalued.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Board of Directors has also approved payment
to its Class B Convertible Preferred shareholders of all current dividends, dividends in arrears, as well as dividends still owed to shareholders
who converted their preferred stock in the past. While Retractable has made quarterly dividend payments to some of its preferred shareholders,
it has never paid dividends to its Series III preferred shareholders or former Series IV or Series V preferred shareholders, many of whom
purchased such shares over twenty years ago. The total amount authorized for dividends payable is $5,056,945. Of this amount, $39,050
is payable to Series II Class B Convertible Preferred shareholders, representing a dividend amount of $0.25 per share and cover amounts
in arrears from April 1, 2021 though the date of conversion or June 30, 2021, whichever is applicable. The dividends will be paid on July
22, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 12, 2021. To Series III Class B Convertible Preferred shareholders,
$4,086,704 will be paid, representing a dividend amount of $1.00 per share per year and cover amounts in arrears from the date of purchase
though the date of conversion or June 30, 2021, whichever is applicable. To former Series IV Class B Convertible Preferred shareholders,
$101,475 will be paid, representing a dividend amount of $1.00 per share per year and cover amounts in arrears from the date of purchase
though the date of conversion. To former Series V Class B Convertible Preferred shareholders, $829,716 will be paid, representing a dividend
amount of $0.32 per share per year and cover amounts in arrears from the date of purchase though the date of conversion.</P>
