<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">As previously reported in a Current Report
on Form 8-K filed by Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the &ldquo;<B>Company</B>&rdquo;) on June 1, 2017, the reelection of Lloyd
Sems as a Class 2 director of the Company&rsquo;s board of directors was submitted to the holders of the Company&rsquo;s shares
of 6% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the &ldquo;<B>Preferred Stock</B>&rdquo;) and voted on at the Annual Meeting of
the Company held on May&nbsp;30, 2017 (the &ldquo;<B>Annual Meeting</B>&rdquo;). Under the bylaws of the Company, where a separate
vote of a class or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series must be present in person or
represented by proxy in order to establish a quorum. No action was taken on the proposal to reelect Lloyd Sems as a Class 2 director
because the Company did not have a quorum of preferred stockholders at the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposal.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The polls with respect to this proposal
remained open for thirty days. A quorum was not achieved and the polls were closed on June 29, 2017. Since directors are elected
to serve until their successors are elected and qualified, Lloyd Sems will continue to serve as a Class 2 director of the Company
for a three-year term, pending reelection at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified.</P>
