To all of our valued shareholders-of-record, thank you for your continued
support as well as your participation in the December 9, 2021 Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM), which has been partially adjourned to
December 22, 2021. With over 60% of all shares voted thus far, iBio stockholders are in favor of Proposal 4 (reverse stock split) and
Proposal 5 (authorized share decrease) by approximately a 2-to-1 margin. Results of votes cast “FOR” Proposals 4 and 5 to-date
are 64% and 67%, respectively. Additionally, both of the leading proxy advisory firms (Glass Lewis and ISS) have recommended that
stockholders vote “FOR” the proposals. With a clear plurality of the vote in favor of the proposals and strong, independent
third-party support for the reverse split and authorized share decrease, iBio is allowing additional time for stockholders holding approximately
40% of the shares that have yet to be voted the opportunity to express their views.
If you have already voted your shares FOR Proposals 4 and 5, you
do not need to vote again, and we thank you for your support. If you did not vote at all, abstained from voting for, or voted against
with respect to the proposals, we kindly ask you to vote, or to reconsider your vote.
