Isaly (3) of the same address. (2) Orbimed Advisors LLC and OrbiMed Advisors Inc. have investment management discretion over a number of collective investment funds investing in common stock of Discovery Laboratories, Inc. ("Discovery") stock. Both OrbiMed Advisors Inc. and OrbiMed Advisors LLC are registered investment advisers under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The reporting persons have no beneficial interest in the securities pursuant to Rule 16a-1(2). On November 5, Discovery issued shares of common stock to certain investors, not including the reporting persons, and as a result of such increase of outstanding number of shares the reporting persons beneficially own less than 10% of the common stock of Discovery and are no longer subject to Secton 16. (3) OrbiMed Advisors Inc. is 100% owned by Samuel D. Isaly who also has a controlling interest in OrbiMed Advisors LLC. /s/ Samuel D.
