Evan M. Levine, Chief Executive Officer and President of ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(“ADVENTRX”), and other executive officers will present the information reflected in the slides
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) commencing May 20, 2008
at various investor and analyst conferences and meetings.
The information in this Report, including the slides attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is being
furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of
that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or under the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof,
except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing to this Report.
By filing this Report and furnishing this information, ADVENTRX makes no admission as to the
materiality of any information in this Report. The information contained in the slides is summary
information that is intended to be considered in the context of ADVENTRX’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other public announcements that ADVENTRX makes,
by press release or otherwise, from time to time. ADVENTRX does not intend and undertakes no duty
or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this Report, although it
may do so from time to time as its management believes is appropriate. Any such updating or
revision may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press
releases or through other public disclosure.
ADVENTRX cautions you that statements and information included in the slides attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1 that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements that
involve risks and assumptions that, if they materialize or do not prove to be accurate, could cause
ADVENTRX’s results to differ materially from historical results or those expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
the risk that ADVENTRX will be unable to raise sufficient capital to fund the projects necessary to
meet its anticipated or stated goals and milestones; the risk that preclinical results are not
indicative of the success of subsequent clinical trials and the results of pending clinical trials;
the risk the FDA determines ADVENTRX’s product candidates are not bioequivalent to the applicable
reference product; difficulties or delays in developing, manufacturing, obtaining regulatory
approval for and marketing ADVENTRX’s product candidates; the potential for regulatory authorities
to require additional preclinical work or other clinical requirements to support regulatory
filings; the scope and validity of patent protection for ADVENTRX’s product candidates; patent and
non-patent exclusivity covering Navelbine® and Taxotere®; and other risks and uncertainties more
fully described in ADVENTRX’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. ADVENTRX’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at
http://www.sec.gov.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date when made. ADVENTRX does not intend to update any forward-looking statement included
in the slides attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to reflect events or circumstances arising after the
date on which it was made. This caution is made under the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
