Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

At a special meeting of stockholders of Transgenomic, Inc. (the
“Company”) held on October 31, 2016 (the “Special Meeting”), the stockholders of the Company approved the
authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to, in its discretion, amend the Company’s
Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse split
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of between one-for-ten to one-for-thirty,
with such ratio to be determined by the Board. On May 24, 2017, the Board determined to set the reverse stock split ratio at one-for-thirty
(the “Reverse Stock Split”), with a planned effective date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2017 (the “Effective
Time”).
At the Effective Time, every 30 shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding will be automatically combined into one share of issued and outstanding Common Stock, without any change in the
par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would
be entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof.
After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split at the Effective
Time, the Common Stock and outstanding preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), will have
the same proportional voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the
rights of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (with the conversion rate of the outstanding
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being proportionately reduced), except for immaterial changes and adjustments resulting from
the treatment of fractional shares.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as exchange agent for the Reverse
Stock Split and will send instructions to stockholders of record who hold stock certificates regarding the exchange of certificates
for Common Stock. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take
any action to effect the exchange of their shares following the Reverse Stock Split.
In addition, appropriate adjustments will be made to outstanding
warrants and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan,
appropriate adjustments will be made to outstanding awards under such plans, in each case to preserve the rights of the holders
of such warrants and awards following the Reverse Stock Split.
