<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On March&nbsp;15, 2010, Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the &#147;<B>Company</B>&#148;) issued 239,396 shares of its common stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the &#147;<B>Common Stock&#148;</B>), to a stockholder in exchange for the stockholder&#146;s delivery to the
Company of 123,400 shares of the Company&#146;s outstanding 6% Exchangeable Convertible Preferred Stock (the &#147;<B>Preferred
Stock</B>&#148;). The stockholder is not an &#147;affiliate&#148; of the Company within the meaning of Rule&nbsp;144(a)(1) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the &#147;<B>Securities Act&#148;</B>), approached the Company with the proposed exchange
transaction (the &#147;<B>Exchange&#148;</B>), and the terms of the Exchange were determined by arms-length negotiation between the
parties. The shares of Common Stock were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for securities exchanged by the issuer and an existing security holder stockholder where
no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly by the issuer for soliciting such exchange.
These transactions are expected to settle on March&nbsp;16, 2010, after which a total of 1,923,413 shares of Preferred Stock
will remain outstanding.
