* IMPORTANT REMINDER *

Dear Fellow Titan Pharmaceuticals Stockholder:

By now, you should have received your proxy material for the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which is scheduled to be held on March 2, 2020.

Each stockholder’s vote is extremely important in order to help the company meet the requirements of the meeting as outlined in the proxy statement. There is only one proposal on the agenda for the Special Meeting, as discussed in detail in the proxy statement. Your Board of Directors strongly recommends that you vote your shares FOR the Reverse Stock Split proposal . The independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co. have reviewed the proxy statement and recommend that stockholders vote FOR this proposal.

A favorable vote facilitates our ability to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Just as important, it also provides requisite authorized shares of the company to complete any value creating potential business mergers or product acquisitions that we might wish to pursue in the future, as well as raise additional funds, as needed, to finance these activities and our ongoing operations. This proposal requires a majority of the outstanding shares of Titan Pharmaceuticals common stock voting in favor in order to pass, so every vote is important.

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL

The fastest and easiest way to vote is by telephone or over the Internet. Instructions on how to vote your shares over the telephone or Internet are enclosed with this letter. Alternatively, you may sign and return the enclosed voting form in the envelope provided. If you sign and return the enclosed voting form without indicating a different choice, your shares will be voted FOR this proposal.

If you have questions or need help voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitation firm, Morrow Sodali LLC, at 800-662-5200

Thank you for your investment in Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and taking the time to vote your shares.

Sincerely,

Marc Rubin, M.D.

Executive Chairman
