Adamis Pharmaceuticals Announces Results and Adjournment of Special Meeting


SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/01/10 --

Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (OTCBB: ADMP) announced today that its stockholders approved the previously announced proposed merger transaction with La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company at a special shareholders meeting held on Friday, February 26, 2010. Based on proxies received and voted at the meeting, holders of approximately 59% of the outstanding shares voted in favor of the merger transaction, and holders of less than 0.5% of the outstanding shares voted against the transaction.

Separately, La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company announced today in a press release that its special meeting of its stockholders convened on February 26, 2010 was adjourned to March 2, 2010, in order to permit La Jolla to solicit additional proxies from its stockholders in favor of the transaction and related proposals, and that as of the date of the meeting it had received proxies from holders of approximately 12% of its outstanding shares, and that the proxies received to date had overwhelmingly supported the merger proposals. The press release indicated that in order for the merger to be completed, holders of more than 50% of La Jolla's outstanding shares must vote in favor. The press release also indicated that if the common stock of La Jolla is delisted from NASDAQ before obtaining the necessary vote, La Jolla expects that it would need additional regulatory approvals to continue soliciting proxies, resulting in significant additional costs and time delays; and that such approvals are difficult to obtain and may not be obtained at all.
