October 2021

Dear Actinium Shareholder,

Your team at your company wishes to thank you for your loyal support during an important and exciting period for Actinium. Last year, we articulated the opportunity to build a specialty, radiopharmaceutical company focused on major cancer hospitals to address the unmet medical needs of relapsed, refractory patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia – AML. The foundation supporting this vision is Iomab-B, our treatment-paradigm changing product candidate for bone marrow conditioning prior to transplant, followed by Actimab-A, which is being developed in therapeutic combinations with potential as a backbone therapy. We also saw opportunities to eliminate or reduce the use of chemotherapy prior to various cellular therapies, with improved conditioning or lymphodepletion via our Iomab-ACT program. We invested more in people and R&D in key areas to ensure your company remains at the forefront of radiopharmaceutical innovation and to ensure the success of our clinical stage programs. I am gratified to report that this year we made material progress on all fronts toward realizing the vision we have articulated.

Most importantly, the team is proud to report that we finished the SIERRA trial this summer – an exercise that until late last year proved to be a herculean one for our small, chronically underfunded company. However, our strengthened balance sheet in 2020 allowed us to revitalize the team with new clinical development leadership who drove the trial to completion. Trial completion has started the clock for an important data update by year-end, topline results in mid-2022, and a BLA or Biologics License Application filing later in the year. To prepare for these events, we promoted Dr. Avinash Desai to Chief Medical Officer, confident that his demonstrated performance with SIERRA enrollment, coupled with his significant clinical development and medical affairs track record with several successful cancer products will enable a timely and successful path forward with Iomab-B. We were also able to attract Dr. Arun Swaminathan as our Chief Business and Commercial Officer to prepare the launch of Iomab-B and steer our partnership efforts. Arun’s blend of commercial and deal-making expertise will enable us to meet our goals in these areas. Short descriptions of their impressive track records are provided in Appendix A.

Actimab-A therapeutic combination trials with CLAG-M and venetoclax are progressing per plan and we expect to update you on these trials as well by year-end at the Annual ASH Meeting. These two trials are important contributors to our strategy of developing Actimab-A as a backbone therapy in the r/r AML setting, which remains underserved despite 9 drug approvals, none of which are effective for prolonged durations, much less curative. Importantly, our R&D team was excited to unveil their work with Actimab-A in combination with a CD47 checkpoint inhibitor, which can pave the way for trials with immunotherapeutics that target this pathway and further build on our backbone therapy strategy. CD47 is an important immune checkpoint target and companies with these relatively early CD47-based clinical programs have recently been purchased for billions of dollars in value. As the CD47-targeting field is crowded and growing, we expect that an Actimab-A combination strategy will enable competitive differentiation and value for us via partnerships.

Our R&D team is working internally and with external collaborators on other approaches intended to explore and exploit synergies between highly targeted internal radiation, delivered safety and effectively with Actimab-A, and other modalities in AML. In addition, we have expanded our R&D focus to solid tumors beyond the work we are doing with our partner, Astellas, and our team is excited to be able to reveal their work with the CD47 target at the upcoming SITC Conference. CD47-targeting companies are aspirational, but limited in their ability to demonstrate viability in the solid tumor setting and we are the first company that is working to demonstrate the synergy between targeted radiation, both alpha and beta, with this immune checkpoint target in solid tumors. Harnessing the power of radio-conjugates to modulate immune pathways is an area where Actinium is staking new ground. We have brought the intellectual property function in-house this year to develop reach through patents in critical areas. The deep immune-oncology experience of our IP and research

teams (select bios in Appendix A) will enable us to stock the pipeline with truly innovative advances in the radioimmunotherapy area and build on the strong foundation of Iomab-B’s success.

As we look ahead to the rest of 2021 and 2022, we see a period of immense activity as the team prepares to file a BLA for Iomab-B as soon as possible, post top-line results, prepares for appropriate trial expansion after the Actimab-A proof of concept data with both CLAG-M and venetoclax, expands the Iomab-ACT program trials post proof of concept data from the MSKCC/NIH CAR-T trial, and moves ahead with CD47-directed efforts and solid tumor programs. All this activity is possible not only due to the key milestones we have and will achieve this year, including those highlighted above, but also due to the not-so-visible, internal achievements, such as assembling a strong core team and investments in R&D deployed strategically. Significantly, our strong balance sheet, which supports several years of operations, will enable us to move ahead well through this period and into early commercial launch of Iomab-B.

Your support has and will continue to make our future success possible and TEAM ACTINIUM thanks you, dear shareholder. With strong accomplishments in 2021 thus far, enabled by our accomplished team, capital and vision, we are excited for the future with the goal of bringing value to patients and shareholders alike.

Appendix A – Review and Outlook

We outline our vision below for the specialty, hospital-focused, radiopharmaceutical company TEAM ACTINIUM is building by capitalizing on the opportunity afforded to us in conditioning prior to a bone marrow transplant via Iomab-B and with Actimab-A as a backbone of therapeutic combinations for relapsed and refractory AML patients. Also discussed are our Iomab-ACT program, focused on conditioning and lymphodepletion prior to cellular therapies and our R&D activities driven by our AWE platform technology. Our core team, which we have assembled this year, will be material in helping unlock our immense inherent value and it is well qualified to tackle the challenges ahead as evidenced by their highlighted biographies at the end of this report.

Significant Opportunity for Iomab-B in r/r AML Bone Marrow Transplant Conditioning

In recent years, 9 drugs have been approved for AML patients. However, at best, they extend survival for a couple of years or less, depending on when the disease is diagnosed and the age of the patient. The relapse rate remains high and many patients, after several courses of treatment with various agents, are unresponsive to therapy, surviving just a few months with the disease. A Bone Marrow Transplant, or BMT, is the only curative treatment option for many patients with relapsed or refractory AML and indeed for many other blood cancers. BMT procedures have grown and are expected to grow due to improvements across the continuum of care and use in more diseases. However, despite 60 years of progress and growth in the field of BMT, conditioning or preparing the bone marrow niches for donor cells remains reliant on chemotherapy and external radiation. These non-targeted, highly toxic conditioning regimens not only limit access to stronger, medically fit patients who can withstand such treatment and who do not have active disease, they also have sub-optimal outcomes, as BMT success with these regimens is very low. Iomab-B represents a potential paradigm shift as patients with active disease can be effectively conditioned and access a BMT with universal engraftment as seen in clinical data to date.

Data updates from SIERRA at ASH, topline data in mid-2022 to support a BLA filing for approval

The strong body of clinical data in the SIERRA trial revealed in interim updates at 25%, 50% and 75% enrollment were in line with data from the Proof of Concept – POC trial. POC trial data were generated across generations of leading BMT physicians at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a Nobel Prize winning institution that pioneered the field of BMT. The universal access to BMT with patients receiving Iomab-B and its tolerability/safety profile gives us confidence in Iomab-B’s potential in r/r AML and other BMT conditioning indications. We highlight the positive data points from SIERRA through 75% enrollment and our expectations for upcoming data updates from SIERRA. In our view, the key metric to focus on is 100-day NR-TRM or Non-Relapse Transplant Related Mortality 100 days post-transplant. SIERRA data on this metric from 25%, 50% and 75% of patient enrollment has been remarkably consistent, showing that greater than 5-fold patients in the Iomab-B vs. control arm are eligible for evaluation of the primary endpoint of Durable Complete Response, or dCR, at 6 months post-successful transplant. Based on consistently positive prior results, we look forward to the SIERRA data at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting early December.

SIERRA Results from 75% Enrollment Presented at ASH 2020 and TCT 2021

Importantly, our team has begun to prepare for a BLA filing to support a potential FDA approval ahead of the topline data expected in mid-2022 which we look forward to presenting.

Actimab-A – Potentially A Backbone Therapy in Relapsed Refractory AML

Actimab-A has the potential to be a backbone therapy for AML because it allows the use of precisely targeted internalized radiation in a diffuse blood cancer which cannot be treated with external beam radiation. State of the art cancer treatments feature combination approaches aimed at exploiting synergies between different therapeutic modalities with the goal of increasing efficacy without added toxicity, to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Actimab-A, which targets CD33, an antigen expressed in virtually all AML patients regardless of their cytogenetics, is ideal for combinations with a variety of drugs currently used to treat AML, as they all have different mechanisms, thus implying an additive effect due to the proven single agent activity of Actimab-A. Additionally, the potential for synergistic effects also exists due to the ionizing alpha radiation emitted by the Actinium-225 isotope of the Actimab-A antibody conjugate. Our data thus far from trials with chemotherapeutics agents (CLAG-M), targeted therapy (venetoclax) and preclinical data with CD47 immunotherapy, (agent to be revealed at the upcoming SITC Conference), are testimony to the validity of our strategy and supportive of further expansion of this approach to other agents.

Ongoing Actimab-A Combination Trials Support Backbone Therapy Strategy, CD47 Initiative is Promising

Our two ongoing combination trials with Actimab-A have produced promising early proof of concept data thus far and we are excited about the work we are doing in combination with a CD47-blocking antibody immunotherapy. The Actimab-A + CLAG-M combination trial has produced 100% complete responses in the most recent cohort, complete responses in 67% of patients (10/15) across all cohorts with 70% of responders (7/10) achieving MRD negativity, meaning there was no detectable AML cancer cells using very sensitive detection methods. The Actimab-A + Venetoclax study produced compelling results in the first cohort, which were presented at ASH last December, showing a 67% overall response rate in the first dose cohort. This was a low dose of Actimab-A, shown to be subtherapeutic as a single agent. We believe these and other potential Actimab-A combinations can produce results not achievable with non-radiotherapy-based approaches, with the data produced thus far comparing favorably with recently approved and late-stage programs for r/r AML patients. We look forward to presenting data on the CD47 combinations at the SITC Conference in November, the clinical trials at ASH in December and also progressing our development plans in 2022.

Attractive r/r AML Opportunity Led by Iomab-B Enables Company Building Vision

We aspire to establish Iomab-B as a universal solution for BMT conditioning over time. For the first indication, we focused on elderly patients with active, r/r AML because of the high unmet need and the compelling data with Iomab-B in this patient population. Serendipitously, our Actimab-A program has evolved toward the same disease state but with a larger population which includes both fit and unfit AML patients over the age of eighteen. Of the approximately 21,000 patients diagnosed with AML each year, it is estimated that 50% of patients will become relapsed or refractory, yet less than 500 r/r AML or just 4.5% of patients received a BMT as most cannot withstand toxic conditioning. With survival expectancy of 3-6 months, our focus is on increasing access to BMT and improving patient outcomes via Iomab-B. The initial market for Iomab-B based on the SIERRA patient population is several thousand patients and there are about 10,000 patients with r/r AML potentially treatable with Iomab-B and Actimab-A, assuming development success.

Concentrated treatment centers for BMT and r/r AML treatment creates potential to leverage Iomab-B commercialization efforts for Actimab-A, Iomab-ACT

We believe leveraging our experience developing Iomab-B and then commercializing it successfully will facilitate our therapeutics development, as well as expanding our conditioning program into cell and gene therapy indications, where conditioning is ubiquitous. The Iomab-ACT program is focused on developing a low-dose version of Iomab-B designed specifically for CAR-T and gene therapies. If successful, the commercial market would be primarily comprised of the leading 100 centers that treat a significant majority of the addressable patient population for BMT and cellular therapies, as well as patients with r/r AML. Given that our strong supply chain is already established in over 40 leading BMT and comprehensive cancer centers, we feel confident in our ability to successfully commercialize targeted conditioning agents into this market, should we successfully gain approval.

Actinium R&D Remains Highly Relevant and A Key Innovator in Radioimmunotherapy

As indicated by our name, Actinium Pharmaceuticals has long been an innovator in the field of Ac-225-based radiotherapy. However, informed by our experiences in clinical development, our views have broadened. While we are firm believers in the power of Ac-225, we also believe that other isotopes such as I-131 and Lu-177 have a significant role to play in oncology drug development, each with its own advantages in different indications. Iomab-ACT and Actimab-A combinations have been products of our internal R&D efforts and since last year we have increased investments in our New York City based R&D capabilities – facilities, equipment, and human resources. Our strong scientific talent with extensive knowledge and experience in cancer biology, immunology and radiation sciences are capably executing our strategy as evidenced by the progress we can make public at this time.

Earlier this year Astellas Pharma, Inc. highlighted our collaboration on their earnings call and its emphasis on theranostics – agents that diagnose and treat cancer with radiotherapy, for solid tumor indications. Collaboration with a Top 20 global biopharmaceutical company brings strong independent validation to our technology platform. We are also thrilled to unveil an early peek on certain aspects of our radioimmunotherapy research. At the Society for Immunotherapy for Cancer (SITC) conference in mid-November, we will present data on the combination of targeted radiotherapy with CD47-targeting immunotherapy. To our knowledge, we are the only company exploring the potential of targeted radiotherapy with the CD47 target, which has emerged as one of the more active immunotherapy targets in drug development and the field is becoming increasingly crowded. However, although solid tumors are proving to be a challenging area for companies working in this area, our initial results appear promising. Companies with early clinical

programs targeting CD47 have been recently acquired in multi-billion-dollar transactions, namely, Gilead’s purchase of Forty-Seven, Inc. for $4.9 billion and Pfizer’s pending acquisition of Trillium Therapeutics, Inc. for $2.26 billion. It is our intention to collaborate with one or more companies in this area to further the development of Actimab-A. We look forward next year to unveiling more of our R&D efforts that can fill our pipeline beyond Iomab-B and Actimab-A.

Rejuvenated Senior Team Enables Success Oriented Execution

We believe that people make all the difference, and we are extremely proud of the team we have assembled at Actinium. Our differentiated position and leadership in targeted radiotherapy, strong balance sheet and recent accomplishments have enabled us to attract a level of talent not accessible to Actinium previously. Success is a team effort and recent senior appointments give us great confidence that our future is being led by highly accomplished and capable leaders including:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Following are some commonly asked questions raised by our stockholders and answers to each of those questions.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is another person that you legally designate to vote your stock. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a “proxy” or a “proxy card.” If you are a “street name” holder, you must obtain a proxy from your broker or nominee in order to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting.

What is a proxy statement?

A proxy statement is a document that regulations of the SEC require that we give to you when we ask you to sign a proxy card to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

What may I vote on at the annual meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote upon the following matters:

Proposal 1: To elect Sandesh Seth and Jeffrey W. Chell as Class II directors to serve for a three-year term that expires at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal;

Proposal 2: To approve an amendment to the Actinium Pharmaceuticals’ Inc. 2019 Plan, as amended by the Amendment to Actinium Pharmaceuticals Inc. 2019 Plan, effective November 18, 2020 (collectively, the “2019 Plan”) to increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under such plan from 3,083,333 by 2,750,000, to a total of 5,833,333 shares to attract and retain the best available personnel and to support planned hiring efforts as the Company grows; and

Proposal 3: To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

To consider and act upon any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

How does the Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?

Our Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” Proposals 1, 2 and 3 being put before our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of the proxy materials (consisting of this proxy statement, the accompanying Notice, our 2020 Annual Report and the proxy card) or voting instruction card. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Similarly, if you are a stockholder of record and also hold shares in a brokerage account, you will receive a copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, for shares held in your name and a voting instruction card for shares held in “street name.” Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What is the record date and what does it mean?

The record date to determine the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting is the close of business on September 13, 2021 (the “Record Date”). The Record Date is established by the Board as required by Delaware law. On the Record Date, 22,024,167 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of common stock at the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting.

What are the voting rights of the stockholders?

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share of common stock on each matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”) does not provide for cumulative voting rights.

What happens if a change to the Annual Meeting is necessary due to exigent circumstances?

While as of the date of this proxy statement we are intending to hold the Annual Meeting in a physical format, as part of our precautions regarding the COVID-19, we are planning for the possibility, if necessary, that we change the location of the Annual Meeting to hold a hybrid or virtual meeting, which would allow for remote participation by stockholders at the Annual Meeting, as entry to the physical location of the Annual Meeting may be limited due to the requirements of applicable laws or orders restricting the size of public gatherings or other public health measures. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so as soon as practicable via a press release that will also be filed with the SEC as proxy material, as well as by posting details on our website at https://www.actiniumpharma.com/. Please monitor our press releases and check our website regularly until the Annual Meeting for updated information.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Action Stock Transfer Corporation, the Company’s stock transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. The Notice of Annual Meeting and the accompanying proxy materials have been sent directly to you by the Company.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, the nominee is considered the record holder of those shares. You are considered the beneficial owner of these shares, and your shares are held in “street name.” The Notice of Annual Meeting and the accompanying proxy materials would have been forwarded to you by your nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee concerning how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions the nominee included in the mailing or by following such nominee’s instructions for voting.

What is a broker non-vote?

Broker non-votes occur when shares are held indirectly through a broker, bank or other intermediary on behalf of a beneficial owner (referred to as held in “street name”) and the broker submits a proxy but does not vote for a matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and either (i) the broker does not have discretionary voting authority on the matter or (ii) the broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it has discretionary voting authority. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that govern how brokers may vote shares for which they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner, brokers are permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority only on “routine” matters when voting instructions have not been timely received from a beneficial owner. Proposal 3 is considered a “routine matter.” Therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker regarding such proposal, your broker will be permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your shares on such proposal. In the absence of specific instructions from you, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to Proposals 1 and 2.

How do I vote?

If you are a record holder, you may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the proxy card, or your “proxies,” will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. You may specify whether your shares should be voted for or withheld for the nominees for director or should be voted for, against or abstained with respect to the amendment of the 2019 Plan and the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent

registered public accountants. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name through our transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer Corporation, or you have stock certificates registered in your name, you may submit a proxy to vote:

Telephone and Internet voting facilities for all stockholders of record will be available 24-hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on November 8, 2021.

The proxy is fairly simple to complete, with specific instructions on the electronic ballot, telephone or proxy card. By completing and submitting it, you will direct the proxies to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. The Board has appointed Sandesh Seth to serve as the proxy for the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee who is the holder of record), you must provide the bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares and can do so as follows:

What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

Other than the election of directors, the amendment of our 2019 Plan and the ratification of the appointment of our auditor, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the annual meeting. If you grant a proxy, the person named as proxy holder, Sandesh Seth, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

If you hold shares in your name and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board on all matters and as the proxy holder may determine in his discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote before the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee and you do not provide instructions on how to vote, your stockbroker or other nominee may exercise their discretionary voting power with respect to certain proposals that

are considered as “routine” matters. Proposal 3 — ratification of the appointment of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter, and thus your stockbroker, bank or other nominee may exercise their discretionary voting power with respect to Proposal 3. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform us that it does not have the authority to vote on these matters with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” In the absence of specific instructions from you, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 1 — the election of Sandesh Seth and Jeffrey W. Chell as members to our Board and Proposal 2 — the approval of the amendment to the 2019 Plan. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided in the notice.

What is the quorum requirement for the annual meeting?

On September 13, 2021, the Record Date for determining which stockholders are entitled to vote, there were 22,024,167 shares of our common stock outstanding, which is our only class of voting securities. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Thirty-Four percent (34%) of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting (in person or represented by proxy) in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters introduced at the Annual Meeting, if you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting or have properly submitted a proxy card or voted by fax, by phone or by using the Internet. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Who counts the votes?

All votes will be tabulated by Gary Siegel, our Vice President, Controller, the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting. Each proposal will be tabulated separately.

How can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may do this by signing a new proxy card with a later date, by voting on a later date by using the Internet (only your latest Internet proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted), or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. However, your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote at the Annual Meeting or submit a notice of revocation to the Company addressed to Steve O’Loughlin, at the Company’s address above, which notice must be received before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 4, 2021.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within our company or to third parties, except:

Any written comments that a stockholder might include on the proxy card will be forwarded to our management.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by our Inspector of Elections and reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K which we will file with the SEC, within four business days of the date of the Annual Meeting.

How can I obtain a separate set of voting materials?

To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate voting materials to our stockholders who may have more than one Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock account, we are delivering only one proxy statement to certain stockholders who share an address, unless otherwise requested. This practice, known as “householding.” If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one proxy statement, you may write or call us to request to receive a separate proxy statement. Similarly, if you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of the proxy statement, you may write or call us at the address and phone number below to request delivery of a single copy of the proxy statement. For future annual meetings of stockholders, you may request separate proxy statements, or request that we send only one proxy statement to you if you are receiving multiple copies, by writing or calling us at:

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Attention: Steve O’Loughlin, Chief Financial Officer

275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor

New York, New York 10016

Tel: (646) 677-3875

Stockholders who own shares through a bank, broker or other intermediary can request householding by contacting the intermediary.

We hereby undertake to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a copy of the proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered. Requests should be directed to the address or phone number set forth above.

Who pays for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

Our Board is asking for your proxy, and we will pay the costs of the solicitation of proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for expenses incurred in forwarding the voting materials to their customers who are beneficial owners and obtaining their voting instructions. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our Board members, officers and employees may solicit proxies on our behalf, without additional compensation, personally, electronically or by telephone. In addition, we have retained Alliance Advisors, LLC (“Alliance”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $10,000 plus customary expenses.

Is this proxy statement the only way that proxies are being solicited?

No. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, officers and employees of the Company, as well as Alliance, the proxy solicitation firm hired by the Company, may solicit the return of proxies, either by mail, telephone, telecopy, e-mail or through personal contact. These officers and employees will not receive additional compensation for their efforts but will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. The fees of Alliance as well as the reimbursement of expenses of Alliance will be borne by the Company. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, in connection with shares of the common stock registered in their names, will be requested to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of common stock.

How can I obtain a copy of Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s Annual Report?

This proxy statement and the Annual Report are available for viewing, printing and downloading at www.viewproxy.com/actiniumpharma/2021. To view these materials, please have your 11-digit control number(s) available that appears on your proxy card. On this website, you can also elect to receive future distributions of our proxy statements and annual reports to stockholders by electronic delivery.

Additionally, you can find a copy of our Annual Report, which includes our financial statements, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 on the website of the SEC, at www.sec.gov, or in the “All SEC Filings” section of the “Investors” section of our website at www.actiniumpharma.com. You may also obtain a printed copy of our Annual Report, including our financial statements, free of charge, from us by sending a written request to: Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10016, attention: Chief Financial Officer.

What is the voting requirement to elect directors?

Assuming the presence of a quorum, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. “Plurality” means that the nominees receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors, up to the number of directors to be chosen at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions or broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

What is the voting requirement to approve Proposal 2?

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the proposal to approve the amendment to the 2019 Plan will require approval by a majority of votes cast, with abstentions counting as a vote cast. An abstention is not an “affirmative vote,” but it is considered as a vote cast pursuant to Section 711 of the NYSE American Company Guide. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 2. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 2.

What is the voting requirement to approve Proposal 3?

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting is obtained. An abstention is not an “affirmative vote,” but an abstaining stockholder is considered “entitled to vote” at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 3. Brokers are considered “entitled to vote” because brokers have discretionary voting authority on Proposal 3. Because a broker non-vote is not an “affirmative vote,” a broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 3.

Do I Have Dissenters’ (Appraisal) Rights?

Appraisal rights are not available to our stockholders with any of the proposals described above to be brought before the Annual Meeting.

How can I communicate with the non-employee directors on the Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Board of Directors?

Our Board encourages stockholders who are interested in communicating directly with the non-employee directors as a group to do so by writing to the non-employee directors in care of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Stockholders can send communications by mail to:

Sandesh Seth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Correspondence received that is addressed to the non-employee directors will be reviewed by our Chairman of the Board or his designee, who will regularly forward to the non-employee directors a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of our Chairman, deals with the functions of our Board or committees thereof or that our Chairman otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by us that is addressed to the non-employee members of our Board and request copies of any such correspondence.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, our Board does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, other key executives, and by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Biographical information about our directors is provided in “Directors and Executive Officers” on page 17.

Term of Office

Our directors are divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I consists of two directors, Class II consists of two directors, and Class III consists of one director.

The term of each director is set forth below or until their successors are duly elected:

Directors elected at each annual meeting are elected for a three-year term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his retirement, death, resignation or removal.

Director Independence

We use the definition of “independence” of the NYSE American stock exchange to make this determination. We are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “ATNM”. NYSE American corporate governance rule Section 803(A)(2) provides that an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company. No director qualifies as independent unless the issuer’s board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Under the NYSE American director independence rules, Jeffrey W. Chell, David Nicholson, Ajit S. Shetty, and Richard I. Steinhart are independent directors of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board currently consists of five directors, and the positions of Chairman of the Board and principal executive officer are filled by Mr. Sandesh Seth, coupled with a lead independent director position to further strengthen the leadership structure. The Board acknowledges that there are different leadership structures that could allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to the Company’s operations. However, our Board believes that having Mr. Seth as the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company, as such structure allows our independent directors to share responsibility in leading the Board, while allowing Mr. Seth to focus primarily on managing the operations of Company.

David Nicholson has been serving as our lead independent director (the “Lead Independent Director”) since September 2017. Our Lead Independent Director chairs the executive sessions of our Board meetings; provides feedback to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; if appropriate, and in coordination with executive management, is available for consultation and direct communication with major stockholders; and leads the Board’s evaluation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We have a separate chair for each committee of our Board,

all of whom are independent directors. The chairs of each committee report on the activities of their committees in fulfilling their responsibilities at the meetings of our Board.

Our Board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management processes. The Board receives reports from management concerning the Company’s assessment of risks and considers the Company’s risk profile. The Board focus on the most significant risks facing the Company and the Company’s general risk management strategy. In addition, as part of its oversight of our Company’s executive compensation program, the Board considers the impact of such program, and the incentives created by the compensation awards that it administers, on our Company’s risk profile. In addition, the Board, based on the Compensation Committee’s review of all of our compensation policies and procedures, considers the incentives that they create and factors that may reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking and determines whether they present a significant risk to our Company. The Board has determined that, for all employees, our compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk and instead encourage behaviors that support sustainable value creation.

Board of Directors Meetings and Attendance

During the fiscal year 2020, our Board held fourteen meetings and did not act by unanimous written consent. Each director attended all of the meetings of our Board and of any committees of which he was a member during the year ended December 31, 2020. It is our policy that directors should make every effort to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. At our 2020 Annual Meeting of stockholders, the Company was represented by our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Controller with our Chairman and CEO participating by phone and no other directors in attendance.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics addresses, among other things, competition and fair dealing, conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of Company assets, government relations, compliance with laws, rules and regulations and the process for reporting violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, employee misconduct, improper conflicts of interest or other violations. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Investor section of our website at www.actiniumpharma.com. We will post on our website any amendment to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors and executive officers.

Complaints Regarding Accounting Matters

The Audit Committee has established procedures for:

Communications with Directors

The Board has approved procedures for stockholders to send communications to individual directors or the non-employee directors as a group. Written correspondence should be addressed to the director or directors in care of Sandesh Seth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10016. Correspondence received that is addressed to the non-employee directors will be reviewed by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or his designee, who will regularly forward to the non-employee directors a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, deals with the functions of our Board or committees thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by us that is addressed to the non-employee members of our Board and request copies of any such correspondence. You may also contact individual directors by calling our principal executive offices at (646) 677-3875.

Legal Proceedings

There have been no material legal proceedings that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of our directors or executive officers, or in which any director, officer, nominee or principal stockholder, or any affiliate thereof, is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us. 

BOARD COMMITTEES

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has formed three standing committees: Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance. Actions taken by our committees are reported to the full Board. Each of our committees has a charter and each charter is posted on our website.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee, which currently consists of three directors, provides assistance to our Board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations with respect to matters involving the accounting, financial reporting, internal control and compliance functions of the Company. The Board has determined that Mr. Steinhart is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Our Audit Committee employs an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company and perform other assigned duties. Further, our Audit Committee provides general oversight with respect to the accounting principles employed in financial reporting and the adequacy of our internal controls. In discharging its responsibilities, our Audit Committee may rely on the reports, findings and representations of the Company’s auditors, legal counsel, and responsible officers. Our Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate within the meaning of SEC rules and under the current listing standards of the NYSE American. The Audit Committee met four times during 2020. Each member of the Audit Committee was present at all of the Audit Committee meetings held during such director’s tenure as a member of the Audit Committee.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee, which currently consists of three directors, establishes executive compensation policies consistent with the Company’s objectives and stockholder interests. The Compensation Committee met one time during 2020. Each member of the Compensation Committee was present at the meeting held in 2020. Our Compensation Committee also reviews the performance of our executive officers and establishes, adjusts and awards compensation, including incentive-based compensation, as more fully discussed below. In addition, our Compensation Committee generally is responsible for:

Our Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation paid to our non-employee directors and the principles upon which their compensation is determined. The Compensation Committee also periodically reports to the Board on how our non-employee director compensation practices compare with those of other similarly situated

public corporations and, if the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate, recommends changes to our director compensation practices to our Board for approval.

Outside consulting firms retained by our compensation committee and management also will, if requested, provide assistance to the Compensation Committee in making its compensation-related decisions. We paid consultant fees to StreeterWyatt of $20,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. We did not pay any compensation consultant or its affiliates in excess of $120,000 during 2020.

Corporate Governance Committee

Corporate Governance Committee, which currently consists of three directors, monitors our corporate governance system. The Corporate Governance Committee met one time during 2020.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. Our Board does not believe a nominating committee is necessary because Board nominations are selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, by a majority of the independent directors. Our independent directors include Jeffrey W. Chell, David Nicholson, Richard I. Steinhart and Ajit S. Shetty. These directors are charged with the responsibility of proposing potential director nominees to the Board for consideration. Our independent directors use criteria by which it will seek to evaluate candidates to serve on our Board. The evaluation methodology includes items such as experience in the biotechnology sector, experience with public companies, executive managerial experience, operations and commercial experience, fundraising experience and contacts in the investment banking industry, personal and skill set compatibility with current Board members, industry reputation, knowledge of our company generally, and independence.

Our Board considers all qualified candidates identified by members of the Board, by senior management and by stockholders. The Board follows the same process and uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates proposed by stockholders, members of the Board and members of senior management. We did not pay fees to any third party to assist in the process of identifying or evaluating director candidates.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) contains provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board at our annual meetings. To recommend a nominee for election to the Board, a stockholder must submit his or her recommendation to our Secretary at our corporate offices at 275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10016. Such nomination must satisfy the notice, information and consent requirements set forth in our Bylaws and must be received by us prior to the date set forth under “Submission of Future Stockholder Proposals” below. A stockholder’s recommendation must be accompanied by the information with respect to stockholder nominees as specified in our Bylaws, including among other things, the name, age, address and occupation of the recommended person, the proposing stockholder’s name and address, the ownership interests of the proposing stockholder and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is being made (including the number of shares beneficially owned, any hedging, derivative, short or other economic interests and any rights to vote any shares) and any material monetary or other relationships between the recommended person and the proposing stockholder and/or the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made.

Our approach toward Board diversity takes into consideration the overall composition and diversity of the Board and areas of expertise that director nominees may be able to offer, including business experience, knowledge, abilities, customer relationships and appropriate perspectives on environmental, social and governance matters. Generally, we strive to assemble and maintain a Board that brings to us a variety of perspectives and skills derived from business and professional experience as we may deem are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. In doing so, we also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth the compensation of our non-employee directors for 2020:

Our non-employee directors are paid an annual fee of $40,000 and receive annual option grants. Dr. Nicholson as Lead Director receives an additional annual fee of $10,000. Board committee members receive the following compensation:

In 2020, we granted each non-employee director options to purchase 8,333 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $9.55 per share with a term of 10 years. Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Plan, 2% of the options vest each month from the date of grant.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT 

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to our corporate accounting and reporting practices toward assurance of the quality and integrity of our consolidated financial statements. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; oversee, review and appraise the audit activities of our independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditing function, maintain complete, objective and open communication between the Board, the independent accountants, financial management and the internal audit function.

Our independent registered public accounting firm reports directly to the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee is solely responsible to appoint or replace our independent registered public accounting firm and to assure its independence and to provide oversight and supervision thereof. The Audit Committee determines compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm and has established a policy for approval of non-audit related engagements awarded to the independent registered public accounting firm. Such engagements must not impair the independence of the registered public accounting firm with respect to our Company as prescribed by the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002; thus payment amounts are limited and non-audit related engagements must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee determines the extent of funding that we must provide to the Audit Committee to carry out its duties and has determined that such amounts were sufficient in 2020.

With respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, in addition to its other work, the Audit Committee:

The Audit Committee recommended, based on the review and discussion summarized above, that the Board include the 2020 audited consolidated financial statements in the 2020 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for filing with the SEC.

Information About Our Auditors

Our Audit Committee of our Board appointed Marcum as the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the 2020 fiscal year and to report on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and other related statements.

Fees and Services

The table below shows the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audits and audit-related fees of the Company’s annual financial statements included in Form 10-K for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, by Marcum.

Audit Fees. This category includes the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, reviews of our financial statements included in our Form 10-Qs and services that are normally provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with its engagements for those years.

Audit-Related Fees. This category consists of assurance and related services by our independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.” The services for the fees disclosed under this category include consents regarding equity issuances.

Pre-Approval Policy

In 2015, the Audit Committee adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accountants. Under the policies, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit and tax services provided by the independent registered public accountants in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the registered accountants’ independence.

All of the services rendered by Marcum in 2020 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Administration. The 2013 Stock Plan is administered by our Board or a committee, or a combination thereof, as determined by our Board.

To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

Term of 2013 Stock Plan. The 2013 Stock Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by our Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years.

(B) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per share exercise price shall be such price as determined by the administrator provided that for any Nonstatutory Stock Option granted on any date on which the common stock is a listed security to an eligible person who is, at the time of the grant of such option, a named executive of the Company, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant if such option is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Exercise of Option. Any option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the administrator, consistent with the term of the 2013 Stock Plan and reflected in the option agreement, including vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the optionee. The administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided however that in the absence of such determination, vesting of options shall be tolled during any such leave (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Laws.

Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. Except as otherwise set forth in the 2013 Stock Plan the administrator shall establish and set forth in the applicable option agreement the terms and conditions upon which an option shall remain exercisable, if at all, following termination of an optionee’s continuous service status, which provisions may be waived or modified by the administrator at any time in the Administrator’s sole discretion. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, to the extent that the optionee is not vested in the optioned stock on the date of termination of his or her continuous service status, or if the optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the option) does not exercise the option to the extent so entitled within the time specified in the option agreement or below (as applicable), the option shall terminate and the optioned stock underlying the unexercised portion of the option shall revert to the 2013 Stock Plan. In no event may any option be exercised after the expiration of the option term as set forth in the option agreement.

The following provisions (1) shall apply to the extent an option agreement does not specify the terms and conditions upon which an option shall terminate upon termination of an optionee’s continuous service status, and (2) establish the minimum post-termination exercise periods that may be set forth in an option agreement:

Termination other than Upon Disability or Death. In the event of termination of an optionee’s continuous service status, such optionee may exercise an option for 30 days following such termination to the extent the optionee was vested in the optioned stock as of the date of such termination.

Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of an optionee’s continuous service status as a result of his or her disability (including a disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), such optionee may exercise an option at any time within twelve months following such termination to the extent the optionee was vested in the optioned stock as of the date of such termination.

Buyout Provisions. The administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or shares an option previously granted under the 2013 Stock Plan based on such terms and conditions as the administrator shall establish and communicate to the optionee at the time that such offer is made.

Stock Purchase Rights. When the administrator determines that it will offer stock purchase rights under the 2013 Stock Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time

within which such person must accept such offer. The offer to purchase shares subject to stock purchase rights shall be accepted by execution of a restricted stock purchase agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

Unless the administrator determines otherwise, the restricted stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason (including death or disability). The purchase price for shares repurchased pursuant to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be the original purchase price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the administrator may determine.

Taxes. As a condition of the exercise of an option or stock purchase right granted under the 2013 Stock Plan, the participant (or in the case of the participant’s death, the person exercising the option or stock purchase right) shall make such arrangements as the administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise of the option or stock purchase right and the issuance of shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares under the 2013 Stock Plan until such obligations are satisfied. If permitted by the administrator, in its discretion, a participant may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of an option or stock purchase right by surrendering to the Company shares that have a fair market value determined as of the applicable tax date equal to the amount required to be withheld.

Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Except as set forth in the 2013 Stock Plan, options and stock purchase rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. Notwithstanding anything else, prior to the date, if any, on which the common stock becomes a listed security, the administrator may in its discretion grant nonstatutory stock options that may be transferred by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) or by gift to “Immediate Family” (as defined below), on such terms and conditions as the administrator deems appropriate.

Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, (i) each outstanding option shall become immediately vested and exercisable, and (ii) any outstanding restricted stock shall become immediately vested and any repurchase option with respect to such restricted stock shall immediately lapse, in each case effective immediately prior to the Change of Control.”

The term “Change in Control” has the meaning set forth in the Company’s 2013 Stock Plan and 2019 Plan, as applicable. The cash component of any change of control payment would be structured as a one-time cash severance payment. 

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table shows the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 13, 2021 held by (i) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our common stock; (ii) each director; (iii) each Named Executive Officer; and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally includes voting power and/or investment power with respect to the securities held. Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable or which may become exercisable within 60 days of September 13, 2021, are deemed outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such options or warrants for purposes of computing the number of shares and percentage beneficially owned by such person, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially owned by any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, the persons or entities named have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

Unless otherwise indicated, the principal address of each of the persons below is c/o Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 275 Madison Ave, 7th floor, New York, NY 10016.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with related persons are governed by our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which apply to all of our directors, officers and employees.

Such related party transactions must be promptly disclosed as required by applicable law or regulation. Absent such a review and approval process in conformity with the applicable guidelines relating to the particular transaction under consideration, such arrangements are not permitted. All related party transactions for which disclosure is required to be provided herein were approved in accordance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Transactions with Related Persons

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are described hereunder and as required under “Director Compensation” and “Executive Compensation,” since January 1, 2019, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Warrant Amendment

On August 11, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its warrant (the “Amendment”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,907 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.61515 per share issued to Sandesh Seth, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on March 14, 2017 (the “Warrants”). The Amendment modified Section 10 of the Warrant, removing the anti-dilution provision thereto. Accordingly, pursuant to the Amendment, the exercise price of the Warrant will no longer be subject to a proportional adjustment if and when the Company issues any shares of its common stock for a consideration less than the exercise price of the Warrant. All other terms of the Warrant remained the same.

The agreements provide that the executive officers will hold proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not use the confidential information for any purpose not expressly authorized by us.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees for the Board of Directors

The Company’s Charter established a classified Board with three classes of directors. Currently there are five directors divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II, and Class III. The term of office for each Class I director expires at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders; the term of office for each Class II director expires at the Annual Meeting; and the term of office for each Class III director expires at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to the Charter, the director due for election at the Annual meeting are Sandesh Seth and Jeffrey W. Chell (Class II).

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will consider and vote upon the re-election of Sandesh Seth and Jeffrey W. Chell to serve as Class II directors (collectively, the “Company Nominees”) for a term that continues pursuant to the director terms outlined below or until his successor is duly elected. In the event a Company Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the individual named as proxy on the proxy card will vote the shares that he represents for election of such other person or persons as the Board may recommend. The Board has no reason to believe that the Company Nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve.

Following the Annual Meeting, the Board will consist of five directors. The term of each director is set forth below or until their successors are duly elected:

Directors elected at each annual meeting shall be elected for a 3-year term. There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers, directors and or persons nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.

Please see biographies of Mr. Sandesh Seth and Mr. Jeffrey W. Chell on page 17 and 18 of this proxy statement.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, the Company Nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. “Plurality” means that the nominees receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors, up to the number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. If you hold your shares through a broker and you do not instruct the broker on how to vote for the Company Nominees, your broker will not have the authority to vote your shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ELECTION OF

THE COMPANY NOMINEES

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE
Actinium pharmaceuticals, inc. 2019 Plan

Our Board is seeking the approval of our stockholders of a second amendment to the 2019 Plan, which was adopted by our Board on September 1, 2021, subject to stockholder approval (the “Second Amendment”). The 2019 Plan was originally approved by our Board on October 18, 2019, and by our stockholders on December 18, 2019. Under the 2019 Plan as originally adopted, we reserved 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance as awards. On August 10, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split, such that after giving effect to the reverse stock split there were 333,333 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. Effective as of November 18, 2020, the 2019 Plan was amended by the First Amendment. The First Amendment increased the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2019 Plan by an additional 2,750,000 shares, for a total of 3,083,333 shares of our common stock. As of October 11, 2021, there were 2,255,441 shares of our common stock remaining available for future issuance of awards under the 2019 Plan. The Second Amendment would further increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2019 Plan by an additional 2,750,000 shares, for a total of 5,833,333 shares of our common stock.

We believe that operation of the 2019 Plan is a necessary and powerful tool in enabling us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; to provide additional incentive to our employees, consultants, and directors; and to promote the success of our business. The 2019 Plan is expected to provide flexibility to our compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of our employees, consultants, and directors to a changing business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of federal tax laws. We have strived to use our 2019 Plan resources effectively and to maintain an appropriate balance between stockholder interests and the ability to recruit and retain valuable employees and service providers. However, we believe that there is an insufficient number of shares remaining under our 2019 Plan to meet our current and projected needs. Accordingly, it is the judgment of our Board that the Second Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. We believe that the Second Amendment, which increases the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2019 Plan, reflects best practices in our industry and is appropriate to permit the grant of equity awards at expected levels for the future.

A copy of the Second Amendment, the First Amendment, and the 2019 Plan are included as Annex A, Annex B, and Annex C, respectively, to this proxy statement. Described below is a summary of certain key provisions of the 2019 Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2019 Plan.

The Board recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Second Amendment.

Summary of the Proposed Second Amendment

Our Board adopted the Second Amendment on September 1, 2021, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2019 Plan by an additional 2,750,000 shares, for a total of 5,833,333 shares of common stock.

Description of the 2019 Plan

Purpose. The purposes of the new 2019 Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; to provide additional incentives to our employees, directors, and consultants; and to promote the success of our business. The 2019 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, and stock purchase rights. The 2019 Plan is expected to provide flexibility to our compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of our employees, consultants, and directors to a changing business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of tax laws.

Share Authorization. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2019 Plan is currently 3,083,333 shares, 100% of which may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options. If the Second Amendment is approved, the total number

of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards will be increased by 2,750,000 shares, for a total of 5,833,333 shares of our common stock.

Shares to be issued may be made available from authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of our common stock. During the term of the 2019 Plan, we will at all times reserve and keep enough shares available to satisfy the requirements of the 2019 Plan. If an award under the 2019 Plan is cancelled, forfeited, or expires (in whole or in part) or if any shares subject to an award are retained by us upon exercise of an award to satisfy the exercise or purchase price of the award or the withholding taxes due, such shares may again be awarded under the 2019 Plan. Shares issued under the 2019 Plan that are later repurchased by us pursuant to any repurchase rights shall not be available for future awards under the 2019 Plan.

Administration. The 2019 Plan shall be administered by our Board or a committee, or a combination thereof, as determined by our Board. The 2019 Plan may be administered by different administrative bodies with respect to different classes of participants and, if permitted by the Applicable Laws (as defined in the 2019 Plan), the Board may authorize one or more officers to make awards under the 2019 Plan.

Powers of the Administrator. As delegated by our Board to the committee, which is the administrator the 2019 Plan, the committee shall have the authority, in its discretion:

Eligibility. Nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees, provided that employees of affiliates shall not be eligible to receive incentive stock options. Each option shall be designated in the option agreement as either an incentive stock option or a nonstatutory stock option. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which options designated as incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any

participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess options shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options. As of October 11, 2021, there are approximately 28 employees, 4 non-employee directors, and 0 consultants eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan.

Term of Plan. The 2019 Plan became effective on December 18, 2019 upon its approval by our stockholders and will continue in effect until October 18, 2029, which is the tenth anniversary of the date that the 2019 Plan was approved by our Board, unless earlier terminated by us in accordance with its terms.

Term of Options. The term of each option shall be the term stated in the option agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the option agreement, and provided further that, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee, who at the time of such grant is a holder of ten percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding shares (or of any parent or subsidiary), the term of the option shall be five years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the option agreement.

Option Exercise Price and Consideration. The per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an option shall be such price as is determined by the administrator and set forth in the option agreement, but shall be subject to the following:

In the case of an incentive stock option:

In the case of a nonstatutory stock option, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

Exercise of Option. Any option granted under the 2019 Plan shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the administrator, consistent with the terms of the 2019 Plan and reflected in the option agreement, including vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the participant. The administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of options shall be tolled during any such leave (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Laws).

The administrator will determine the manner in which recipients of stock options may pay the option exercise price, which may include payment: (i) by cash, check, or promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; (ii) cancellation of a participant’s indebtedness to the Company; (iii) in shares of our common stock, provided such shares have a fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the options exercised, and provided further that such shares have been held by the participant for at least six months; (iv) by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the administrator and a securities broker approved by the Company shall require to effectuate a cashless exercise of the option with the Company receiving any resulting sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price; or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

Until the issuance of the shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder shall exist with respect to the optioned stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the option.

Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. Except as otherwise set forth in the 2019 Plan, the administrator shall establish and set forth in the applicable option agreement the terms and conditions upon which an option shall remain exercisable, if at all, following termination of a participant’s continuous service status with us and our parents, affiliates, and subsidiaries, if applicable, which provisions may be waived or modified by the

administrator at any time in the administrator’s sole discretion. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, to the extent that the participant is not vested in the optioned stock on the date of termination of his or her continuous service status, or if the participant (or other person entitled to exercise the option) does not exercise the option to the extent so entitled within the time period specified in the option agreement or in the 2019 Plan as summarized below (as applicable), the option shall terminate and the optioned stock underlying the unexercised portion of the option shall revert to the 2019 Plan. In no event may any option be exercised after the expiration of the option term as set forth in the option agreement.

The following provisions (i) shall apply to the extent an option agreement does not specify the terms and conditions upon which an option shall terminate upon termination of a participant’s continuous service status, and (ii) establish the minimum post-termination exercise periods that may be set forth in an option agreement:

Termination other than Upon Disability or Death. In the event of such a termination of a participant’s continuous service status, such participant may exercise an option for three months following such termination, but only to the extent the participant was vested in the optioned stock as of the date of such termination.

Disability of Participant. In the event of termination of a participant’s continuous service status as a result of his or her disability (including a disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), such participant may exercise an option at any time within one year following such termination, but only to the extent the participant was vested in the optioned stock as of the date of such termination.

Death of Participant. In the event of the death of a participant during the period of continuous service status since the date of grant of the option, or within three months following termination of a participant’s continuous service, the option may be exercised by the participant’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the option by bequest or inheritance at any time within one year following the date of death, but only to the extent the participant was vested in the optioned stock as of the date of death or, if earlier, the date the participant’s continuous service status terminated.

Stock Purchase Rights. When the administrator determines that it will offer stock purchase rights under the 2019 Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and the time within which such person must accept the offer. The offer to purchase shares subject to stock purchase rights shall be accepted by execution of a restricted stock purchase agreement in the form determined by the administrator.

Unless the administrator determines otherwise, the restricted stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason (including death or disability). The purchase price for shares repurchased pursuant to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be the original purchase price paid by the participant, if any, and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the participant to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the administrator may determine.

Once a stock purchase right is exercised, the participant shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder once the purchase is evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.

Taxes. As a condition of the exercise of an option or stock purchase right granted under the 2019 Plan, the participant (or in the case of the participant’s death, the person exercising the option or stock purchase right) shall make such arrangements as the administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local, or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise of the option or stock purchase right and the issuance of shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares under the 2019 Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

In the case of an employee and in the absence of any other arrangement, the employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to withhold or collect such taxes from other compensation payable to him or her from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the date of the exercise of the option or stock purchase right. In the case of any other participant (or in the case of an employee where the next payroll payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with respect to any remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the participant shall be deemed to have elected to have the Company withhold from the shares to be issued upon exercise of the option or stock purchase right the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the tax amounts required to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the administrator, in its discretion, a participant may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of an option or stock purchase right by surrendering to the Company shares that have a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld, provided that such shares have been held by such participant for at least six months.

Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Except as set forth in the 2019 Plan, options and stock purchase rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. An option or stock purchase right may be exercised during the lifetime of the holder of such option or right by such holder or any transferee permitted pursuant to the 2019 Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator may, in its discretion, grant transferrable nonstatutory stock options pursuant to option agreements that specify the manner in which such options may be transferable.

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger, or Certain Other Transactions.

Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2019 Plan), (i) each outstanding option shall become immediately vested and exercisable, and (ii) any unvested stock purchase rights subject to repurchase restrictions shall become immediately vested, and any repurchase right with respect to such restricted stock shall immediately lapse, in each case, effective immediately prior to the Change of Control.

Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by our stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of our common stock covered by each outstanding option or stock purchase right, the number of shares of our common stock that have been authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan but as to which no options or stock purchase rights have yet been granted or that have been returned to the 2019 Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an option or stock purchase right, as well as the price per share of our common stock covered by each such outstanding option or stock purchase right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization, or reclassification of our common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration” as provided under Applicable Law.

Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of our Company, each option and stock purchase right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the administrator.

Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the 2019 Plan), each outstanding option or stock purchase right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”), unless the Successor Corporation does not agree to assume the award or to substitute an equivalent option or right, in which case such option or stock purchase right shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction in consideration for a cash payment to the participant (on the closing date of the Corporate Transaction), with respect to each such option, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our common stock subject to such option over the exercise price of such option.

Amendment and Termination of the 2019 Plan. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the 2019 Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension, or discontinuation (other than an adjustment for changes in capitalization discussed above) shall be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of

any participant under any outstanding grant, without his or her consent. In addition, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any such plan amendment to the extent required to comply with the Applicable Laws. No amendment or termination of the 2019 Plan shall materially and adversely affect options or stock purchase rights already granted, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the participant and the administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the participant and or holder and the Company.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain federal income tax consequences relating to the transactions described under the 2019 Plan as set forth below. This summary does not purport to address all aspects of federal income taxation and does not describe state, local, or foreign tax consequences. This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations under the Code and the Treasury Regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) or different interpretation.

Law Affecting Deferred Compensation. In 2004, Section 409A was added to the Code to regulate all types of deferred compensation. If the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are not satisfied, deferred compensation and earnings thereon will be subject to tax as it vests, plus a premium interest charge at the underpayment rate plus 1% and a 20% penalty tax. Certain stock options and types of restricted stock are subject to Section 409A of the Code.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant will not recognize income at the time an incentive stock option is granted. When a participant exercises an incentive stock option, a participant also generally will not be required to recognize income (either as ordinary income or capital gain). However, to the extent that the fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares with respect to which the participant’s incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time during any year exceeds $100,000, the incentive stock options for the shares over $100,000 will be treated as nonstatutory stock options, and not incentive stock options, for federal tax purposes, and the participant will recognize income as if the incentive stock options were nonstatutory stock options. In addition to the foregoing, if the fair market value of the shares received upon exercise of an incentive stock option exceeds the exercise price, then the excess may be deemed a tax preference adjustment for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax calculation. The federal alternative minimum tax may produce significant tax repercussions depending upon the participant’s particular tax status.

The tax treatment of any shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option will depend upon whether the participant disposes of his or her shares prior to the later of (i) two years after the date the incentive stock option was granted and (ii) one year after the shares were transferred to the participant (referred to as, the “Holding Period”). If a participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option after the expiration of the Holding Period, any amount received in excess of the participant’s tax basis for such shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares. If the amount received is less than the participant’s tax basis for such shares, the loss will be treated as short-term or long-term capital loss, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares.

If the participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option prior to the expiration of the Holding Period, the disposition will be considered a disqualifying disposition. If the amount received for the shares is greater than the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date, then the difference between the incentive stock option’s exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise will be treated as ordinary income for the tax year in which the disqualifying disposition occurs. The participant’s basis in the shares will be increased by an amount equal to the amount treated as ordinary income due to such “disqualifying disposition.” In addition, the amount received in such disqualifying disposition over the participant’s increased basis in the shares will be treated as capital gain. However, if the price received for shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option is less than the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date, and the disposition is a transaction in which the participant sustains a loss which otherwise would be recognizable under the Code, then the amount of ordinary income that the participant will recognize is the excess, if any, of the amount realized on the “disqualifying disposition” over the basis of the shares.

Nonstatutory Stock Options. A participant generally will not recognize income at the time a nonstatutory stock option is granted. When a participant exercises a nonstatutory stock option, the difference between the option

price and any higher market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of exercise will be treated as compensation taxable as ordinary income to the participant. The participant’s tax basis for the shares acquired under a nonstatutory stock option will be equal to the option price paid for such shares, plus any amounts included in the participant’s income as compensation. When a participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any amount received in excess of the participant’s tax basis for such shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares. If the amount received is less than the participant’s tax basis for such shares, the loss will be treated as short-term or long-term capital loss, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares.

Special Rule if Option Price is Paid for in Shares. If a participant pays the option price of a nonstatutory stock option with previously-owned shares of our common stock and the transaction is not a disqualifying disposition of shares previously acquired under an incentive stock option, the shares received equal to the number of shares surrendered are treated as having been received in a tax-free exchange. The participant’s tax basis and holding period for these shares received will be equal to the participant’s tax basis and holding period for the shares surrendered. The shares received in excess of the number of shares surrendered will be treated as compensation taxable as ordinary income to the participant to the extent of such shares’ fair market value. The participant’s tax basis in such shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise, and the participant’s holding period for such shares will begin on the date of exercise.

If the use of previously acquired shares to pay the exercise price of a nonstatutory stock option constitutes a disqualifying disposition of shares previously acquired under an incentive stock option, the participant will have ordinary income as a result of the disqualifying disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares surrendered, determined at the time such shares were originally acquired on exercise of the incentive stock option, over the aggregate option price paid for such shares. As discussed above, a disqualifying disposition of shares previously acquired under an incentive stock option occurs when the participant disposes of such shares before the end of the Holding Period. The other tax results from paying the exercise price with previously-owned shares are as described above, except that the participant’s tax basis in the shares that are treated as having been received in a tax-free exchange will be increased by the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of the disqualifying disposition.

Restricted Stock. A participant who receives a stock purchase right subject to a repurchase right (referred to herein as, “restricted stock”) generally will recognize as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares granted as restricted stock at such time as the shares are no longer subject to forfeiture or restrictions, over the amount paid, if any, by the participant for such shares. However, a participant who receives restricted stock may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of the date of transfer of the shares to recognize ordinary income on the date of transfer of the shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares (determined without regard to the restrictions on such shares) over the purchase price, if any, paid for such shares. If a participant does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, then the participant will recognize as ordinary income any dividends received with respect to such shares. At the time of the sale of such shares, any gain or loss realized by the participant will be treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the participant has held the shares. For purposes of determining any gain or loss realized, the participant’s tax basis will be the amount previously taxable as ordinary income, plus the purchase price paid by the participant, if any, for such shares.

Federal Tax Withholding. Any ordinary income realized by a participant upon the exercise of an award under the 2019 Plan is subject to withholding of federal, state, and local income tax and to withholding of the participant’s share of tax under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. To satisfy federal income tax withholding requirements, we will have the right to require that, as a condition to delivery of cash, any certificates for shares of our common stock, or the registration of the shares in the participant’s name, as applicable, the participant remit to us an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding requirements.

Withholding does not represent an increase in the participant’s total income tax obligation, since it is fully credited toward his or her tax liability for the year. Additionally, withholding does not affect the participant’s tax basis in the shares. Compensation income realized and tax withheld will be reflected on Forms W-2 supplied by the Company to employees by January 31 of the succeeding year. Deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code will be subject to certain federal income tax withholding and reporting requirements.

Tax Consequences to the Company. To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in any of the circumstances described above, we will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and is not disallowed by the $1,000,000 limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Million Dollar Deduction Limit and Other Tax Matters. We may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to “covered employees” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code), which include (i) an individual (or, in certain circumstances, his or her beneficiaries) who, at any time during the taxable year, is either our principal executive officer or principal financial officer; (ii) an individual who is among our three highest compensated officers for the taxable year (other than an individual who was either our principal executive officer or principal financial officer at any time during the taxable year); or (iii) anyone who was a covered employee for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code for any tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2017. This limitation on deductions (x) only applies to compensation paid by a publicly-traded corporation (and not compensation paid by non-corporate entities) and (y) may not apply to certain types of compensation, such as qualified performance-based compensation that is payable pursuant to a written, binding contract that was in effect as of November 2, 2017, so long as the contract is not materially modified after that date.

If an individual’s rights under the 2019 Plan are accelerated as a result of a Change of Control and the individual is a “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code, the value of any such accelerated rights received by such individual may be included in determining whether or not such individual has received an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, which could result in (i) the imposition of a 20% federal excise tax (in addition to federal income tax) payable by the individual on the value of such accelerated rights; and (ii) the loss by the Company of a compensation deduction.

New Plan Benefits

With respect to the increased number of shares reserved under the 2019 Plan pursuant to the Second Amendment, we cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to awards that may be granted in the future to eligible participants under the 2019 Plan because the grant of awards and terms of such awards are to be determined in the sole discretion of the administrator.

The market value of our common stock is $8.03 per share based on the closing price of our common stock on October 11, 2021.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, approval of the Amendment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast, with abstentions counting as a vote cast, at the Annual Meeting. An abstention is not an “affirmative vote,” but it is considered as a vote cast pursuant to Section 711 of the NYSE American Company Guide. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. If you hold your shares through a broker and you do not instruct the broker on how to vote for the Amendment, your broker will not have the authority to vote your shares. Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT 

PROPOSAL 3

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM LLP

The Audit Committee has appointed Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Representatives of Marcum will not be present at the Annual Meeting but will have an opportunity to make a statement or to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. Although stockholder ratification of the appointment of our independent auditor is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of Marcum to our stockholders for ratification to permit stockholders to participate in this important corporate decision. If not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection, although the Audit Committee will not be required to select a different independent auditor for our Company.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, the approval of the ratification of the appointment of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. An abstention is not an “affirmative vote,” but an abstaining stockholder is considered “entitled to vote” at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 3. Brokers are considered “entitled to vote” because brokers have discretionary voting authority on Proposal 3. Because a broker non-vote is not an “affirmative vote,” a broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 3.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF MARCUM AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM OF ACTINIUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date hereof, there are no other matters that we intend to present, or have reason to believe others will present, at the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the accompanying proxy authorizes the person named as proxy or his substitute to vote on such matters as he determines appropriate.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

SEC rules concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents allow us or your broker to send a single set of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more of our stockholders reside, if we or your broker believe that the stockholders are members of the same family. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both you and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps us to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements. Once you receive notice from your broker or from us that communications to your address will be “householded,” the practice will continue until you are otherwise notified or until you revoke your consent to the practice. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

If your household received a single set of proxy materials this year, but you would prefer to receive your own copy, please contact Alliance Advisors, by calling their toll-free number, 1-877-777-2857.

If you do not wish to participate in “householding” and would like to receive your own set of our annual disclosure documents in future years, follow the instructions described below. Conversely, if you share an address with another holder of our common stock and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of our annual disclosure documents, follow these instructions:

Electronic Delivery of Company Stockholder Communications

Most stockholders can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail.

You can choose this option and save the cost of producing and mailing these documents by:

SUBMISSION OF FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”), a stockholder who intends to present a proposal at our next annual meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) and who wishes the proposal to be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting must submit the proposal in writing no later than June ‎2‎, ‎2022, after which date such stockholder proposal will be considered untimely. Such proposal must be submitted on or before the close of business to our corporate offices at 275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10016, Attn: Secretary.

Stockholders wishing to nominate a director or submit proposals to be presented directly at the 2022 Annual Meeting instead of by inclusion in next year’s proxy statement must follow the submission criteria and deadlines set forth in our Bylaws concerning stockholder nominations and proposals. Stockholder nominations for director and other proposals that are not to be included in such materials must be received by our Secretary in writing at our corporate offices at 275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10016, Attn: Secretary no earlier than June 12, 2022 and no later than the close of business on July 12, 2022. Any such stockholder proposals or nominations for director must also satisfy the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. To be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials, stockholder proposals must also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8. Stockholders are also advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional advance notice requirements, including requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. A proxy granted by a stockholder will give discretionary authority to the proxies to vote on any matters introduced pursuant to the above advance notice provisions in the Bylaws, subject to applicable rules of the SEC.

A copy of our 2020 Annual Report is available to any person, including any beneficial owner of our shares, to whom this proxy statement is delivered upon oral or written request, without charge (except for exhibits, which are available upon payment of an appropriate processing fee). Requests for such documents should be directed to Chief Financial Officer, Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 275 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10016, (646) 677-3875.

The Plan may be administered by different administrative bodies with respect to different classes of Participants and, if permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Board may authorize one or more officers to make awards under the Plan.

(b) Committee Composition. If a Committee has been appointed pursuant to this Section 4, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may increase the size of any Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies (however caused) and remove all members of a Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws and, in the case of a Committee administering the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent permitted or required by such provisions.

(c) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2(q) of the Plan, provided that such determination shall be applied consistently with respect to Participants under the Plan;

(ii) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Plan awards may from time to time be granted;

(iv) to determine the number of Shares of Common Stock to be covered by each award granted;

(xi) in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without amending the Plan, to modify grants of Options or Stock Purchase Rights to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States in order to recognize differences in local law, tax policies or customs.

5. Eligibility.

(a) Recipients of Grants. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, provided that Employees of Affiliates shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.

(b) Type of Option. Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

(c) ISO $100,000 Limitation. Notwithstanding any designation under Section 5(b), to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5(c), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined as of the date of the grant of such Option.

(d) No Employment Rights. The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of an employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with such Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time or any reason.

6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the Effective Date. The duration of the Plan shall not exceed ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the plan is adopted by the Board of Directors or the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company and may be terminated earlier pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan.

7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement; provided that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement and provided further that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a person who at the time of such grant is a Ten Percent Holder, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

8. [Reserved.]

9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(a) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, but shall be subject to the following:

(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A) granted to an Employee who at the time of grant is a Ten Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or

(B) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(b) Permissible Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash; (2) check; (3) delivery of Optionee’s promissory note with such recourse, interest, security and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines to be appropriate (subject to applicable provisions of Delaware law); (4) cancellation of indebtedness; (5) other Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised, provided that in the case of Shares acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, such Shares must have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender (or such other period as may be required to avoid the Company’s incurring an adverse accounting charge); (6) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and a securities broker approved by the Company shall require to effect exercise of the Option and prompt delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes; or (7) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company and the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise.

10. Exercise of Option.

(a) General.

(i) Exercisability. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the term of the Plan and reflected in the Option Agreement, including vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided however that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled during any such leave (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Laws). In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that upon a Participant’s return from military leave he or she will be given vesting credit with respect to awards to the same extent as would have applied had the Participant continued to provide services to the Company throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to the leave.

(ii) Minimum Exercise Requirements. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Administrator may require that an Option be exercised as to a minimum number of Shares, provided that such requirement shall not prevent an Optionee from exercising the full number of Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.

(iii) Procedures for and Results of Exercise. An Option shall be deemed exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has received full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 9(b) of the Plan, provided that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept any form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise.

Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(iv) Rights as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

(b) Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship.

(i) Termination other than Upon Disability or Death. In the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Service Status, such Optionee may exercise an Option within three (3) months following such termination to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Optioned Stock as of the date of such termination. No termination shall be deemed to occur and this Section 10(b)(i) shall not apply if (A) the Optionee is a Consultant who becomes an Employee, or (B) the Optionee is an Employee who becomes a Consultant.

(ii) Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Service Status as a result of his or her permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, such Optionee may exercise an Option at any time within one (1) year following such termination to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Optioned Stock as of the date of such termination.

(iii) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee during the period of Continuous Service Status or within three (3) months following termination thereof, the Option may be exercised by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance at any time within one (1) year following the date of death, but only to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Optioned Stock as of the date of death or, if earlier, the date the Optionee’s Continuous Service Status terminated.

11. Stock Purchase Rights.

(a) Rights to Purchase. When the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must accept such offer. The offer to purchase Shares subject to Stock Purchase Rights shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

(b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason (including death or disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original purchase price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the

Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such date as the Administrator may determine, as reflected in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

(c) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements need not be the same with respect to each purchaser.

(d) Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

12. Taxes.

(a) As a condition of the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right granted under the Plan, the Participant (or in the case of the Participant’s death, the person exercising the Option or Stock Purchase Right) shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. If the Administrator allows the withholding or surrender of Shares to satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding obligations under this Section 12 (whether pursuant to Section 12(c), (d) or (e), or otherwise), the Administrator shall not allow Shares to be withheld in an amount that exceeds the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes.

(b) In the case of an Employee and in the absence of any other arrangement, the Employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to withhold or collect from his or her compensation an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the date of an exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right.

(c) In the case of Participant other than an Employee (or in the case of an Employee where the next payroll payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with respect to any remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the amount required to be withheld. For purposes of this Section 12, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined under the Applicable Laws (the “Tax Date”).

(d) If permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, a Participant may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right by surrendering to the Company Shares that have a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the amount required to be withheld. In the case of shares previously acquired from the Company that are surrendered under this Section 12(d), such Shares must have been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender (or such other period of time as is required for the Company to avoid adverse accounting charges).

(e) Any election or deemed election by a Participant to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations under Section 12(c) or (d) above shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator. Any election by a Participant under Section 12(d) above must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date.

(f) In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by a Participant and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall receive the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option or Stock Purchase Right is exercised but

such Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

13. Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights.

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 13, Options and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee will not constitute a transfer. An Option or Stock Purchase Right may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, only by such holder or a transferee permitted by this Section 13.

(b) Limited Transferability Rights. The Administrator may in its discretion grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock Options pursuant to Option Agreements specifying the manner in which such Nonstatutory Stock Options are transferable.

14. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other Transactions.

(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, the number of Shares set forth in Sections 3 and 8 above and the number of Shares of Common Stock that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Option and Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

(c) Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”), unless the Successor Corporation does not agree to assume the award or to substitute an equivalent option or right, in which case such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction in consideration for a cash payment to the Participant (on the date of the Corporate Transaction), with respect to each such Option, equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such Option over the exercise price of such Option.

For purposes of this Section 14(c), an Option or a Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction or a Change of Control, as the case may be, each holder of an Option or Stock Purchase Right would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the award the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the award at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Option or Stock Purchase Right as provided for in this Section 14); provided that if such consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the award to be solely

common stock of the Successor Corporation equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

(d) Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the Company’s stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion, appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right to reflect the effect of such distribution.

(e) Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any award agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, (i) each outstanding Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable, and (ii) any outstanding Restricted Stock shall become immediately vested and any repurchase option with respect to such Restricted Stock shall immediately lapse, in each case effective immediately prior to the Change of Control.

15. Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator, provided that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the grant date shall be the later of the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Incentive Stock Option or the date of commencement of the Optionee’s employment relationship with the Company. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee, Director or Consultant to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

16. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Authority to Amend or Terminate. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 14 above) shall be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Optionee or holder of Stock Purchase Rights under any outstanding grant, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with the Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

(b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment or termination of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect Options or Stock Purchase Rights already granted, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee or holder of the Stock Purchase Rights and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee or holder and the Company.

17. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person exercising the award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by law.

18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

19. Agreements. Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be evidenced by Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements, respectively, in such form(s) as the Administrator shall from time to time approve.

20. Stockholder Approval. If required by the Applicable Laws, continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under the Applicable Laws.

21. Information and Documents to Optionees and Purchasers. If required by the Applicable Laws, the Company shall provide financial statements at least annually to each Optionee and to each individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such Optionee or purchaser has one or more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and in the case of an individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares. The Company shall not be required to provide such information if the issuance of Options or Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

22. Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service Status shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Administrator shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Administrator will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.
