The terms of Mr. Haynes’ departure are largely consistent with the provisions of his previously filed Employment Agreement. He will be entitled to receive certain bonus payments, one of which was delayed due to the Company’s pending case under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and one of which remains subject to approval of the Company’s Compensation Committee. Any such bonus payments will be subject to the occurrence of the effectiveness of SIGA’s previously announced Plan of Reorganization which is subject to confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
