NYSE AMEX PANEL GRANTS
RADIENT PHARMACEUTICALS’ REQUEST FOR CONTINUED COMPLIANCE PERIOD

(TUSTIN, CA) April 20, 2011/Marketwire –Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation (RPC) (NYSE AMEX:RPC News) announced today that a Listing Qualifications Panel of the NYSE Amex Committee on Securities (the “Panel”) has issued a favorable decision and granted RPC’s request for continued listing on the NYSE Amex (the “Exchange”) subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  This decision followed RPC’s hearing before the Panel on April 14, 2011.

As a threshold matter, prior to the granting of the extension, RPC was required to satisfactorily address at the hearing the concerns raised by the Staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. that RPC had overstated the scope of its collaboration agreement with Mayo Validation Support Services.  Pursuant to the Panel’s decision, on or before June 23, 2011, the Company is required to demonstrate compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing and, in particular, must complete the following actions: file its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission; hold its planned stockholders’ meeting at which directors will be elected; and, complete its plans for raising additional equity capital, thereby demonstrating its compliance with the Exchange’s stockholders’ equity requirement of $6 million and the lack of any financial impairment.

While RPC is working toward satisfying the conditions established by the Panel and demonstrating compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
