On October 7, 2016, the Board of
Directors (the “Board”) of Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") elected
Robert B. Catell as a director of the Board effective immediately. At this time, Mr. Catell is not expected to serve on any
committee of the Board. As has been the policy with other non-employee directors, Mr. Catell will be granted annually a ten
year stock option, fully vested after one year, to purchase a number of shares of common stock having a fair value of $60,000
as determined using the Black Scholes value or as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition, Mr.
Catell will be a party to the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement. There is no understanding or
arrangement between Mr. Catell and any other person or persons with respect to his election as director and there are no
family relationships between Mr. Catell and any other director or executive officer or person nominated or chosen to become
a director or executive officer. There have been no transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, to
which the Company was or is to be a party in which Mr. Catell or any member of his immediate family had, or will have, a
direct or indirect material interest.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company on October 14, 2016 related to Mr. Catell’s election
