to Rights of Security Holders.</B>

<P style="text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">On July&nbsp;8, 2011,
the Board of Directors (the &#8220;<B>Board</B>&#8221;) of Cyclacel
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the &#8220;<B>Company</B>&#8221;) decided not to declare
the quarterly cash dividend on the Company&#8217;s 6% Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock (the &#8220;<B>Preferred Stock</B>&#8221;) with respect to the
second quarter of 2011 that would have otherwise been payable on August&nbsp;1,
2011.&nbsp;

<P style="text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">As previously
disclosed, the Board also did not declare the quarterly cash dividend with
respect to each of the four quarters of fiscal year 2009 and the first, second
and third quarters of 2010. To the extent that any dividends payable on the
Preferred Stock are not paid, such unpaid dividends are accrued. As the Company
failed to pay in an aggregate amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends
(whether or not consecutive) on the Preferred Stock, the size of the
Company&#8217;s Board was increased by two members and the holders of the
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, voted on May&nbsp;24, 2011 and
elected two directors to fill the vacancies created thereby, which
directorships shall terminate when the Company pays all accrued but unpaid
dividends.
