Dear New Abraxis, Inc. Stockholder:

We are very pleased to welcome you as a stockholder of New Abraxis, Inc.

New Abraxis is one of the few fully integrated biotechnology companies, with a breakthrough marketed product (Abraxane®), global ownership of its proprietary technology platform and pipeline, dedicated nanoparticle manufacturing capabilities for worldwide supply integrated with seasoned in-house capabilities, including discovery, clinical drug development, regulatory and sales and marketing. With 2007 revenues expected to approach $300 million, an anticipated capital infusion of approximately $715 million, a deep clinical pipeline with current annual global market size exceeding $5 billion, and the anticipated near-term global launch of Abraxane®, New Abraxis is positioned to emerge as a leading global biotechnology company with sustainable high growth and value creation for its stockholders.

New Abraxis is dedicated to the discovery, development and delivery of next-generation therapeutics and core technologies that offer patients safer and more effective treatments for cancer and other critical illnesses. New Abraxis’ portfolio includes the world’s first and only protein-based nanoparticle chemotherapeutic compound (Abraxane®) which is based on its proprietary tumor targeting technology known as the nab technology platform. This nab technology platform is the first to exploit the tumor’s biology against itself, taking advantage of an albumin-specific, receptor-mediated transport system and allowing the delivery of a drug from the vascular space across the blood vessel wall to the underlying tumor tissue. Abraxane® is the first clinical and commercial validation of this nab technology platform. From the discovery and research phase to development and commercialization, New Abraxis is committed to rapidly enhancing its product pipeline and accelerating the delivery of breakthrough therapies that will transform the lives of patients who need them.

We are very excited about our prospects and believe we will be even better positioned to realize growth opportunities as an independent company. Looking forward, we intend to continue to execute our strategies of growing our proprietary products business and enhancing our pipeline of products.
