Letter to Stockholders Dated June 9, 2014
 
Attached hereto is a letter dated June 9, 2014 that Echo is mailing to stockholders wherein Echo reported that the three leading independent proxy voting advisory firms, ISS Proxy Advisory Services, Glass Lewis & Co. and Egan-Jones, whose clients include institutional investors, mutual funds, pension funds and other fiduciaries, have all issued reports recommending that Echo’s stockholders vote the WHITE proxy card to elect the nominees recommended by the Echo Board of Directors (the “Echo Board”) at the upcoming 2014 Annual Meeting. As previously announced, Platinum Management (NY) LLC and the other members of its dissident stockholder group (collectively, the “Platinum Group”) are pursuing a proxy contest to elect one nominee to the Echo Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday, June 19, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Echo located at 10 Forge Parkway, Franklin, Massachusetts 02038. The record date for determining those stockholders eligible to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2014 Annual Meeting is May 13, 2014.
 
In order for stockholders to vote on the WHITE proxy card in support of the candidates nominated by the Echo Board, stockholders will be required to complete the revised form of WHITE proxy card that has been mailed to them or vote electronically as provided on the revised form of WHITE proxy card.
 
Stockholders are advised that they may receive proxy solicitation materials from the Platinum Group or other persons or entities affiliated with the Platinum Group, including an opposition proxy statement and gold proxy card. Stockholders are strongly urged NOT to sign or return the gold proxy card or voting instruction form that the Platinum Group may send to them, even as a protest vote against the Platinum Group or the Platinum Group’s nominee. If any stockholder signs a gold proxy card sent to them by the Platinum Group, however, such stockholder retains the right to change his or her vote. Only the latest dated proxy card voted will be counted.

LEADING INDEPENDENT PROXY ADVISORY FIRM EGAN-JONES JOINS ISS AND GLASS LEWIS
IN RECOMMENDING THAT ECHO STOCKHOLDERS REJECT PLATINUM’S
BOARD NOMINEE SHEPARD GOLDBERG
AND VOTE THE WHITE PROXY CARD
 
All Three Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms Now Recommend
That Stockholders Vote FOR Echo’s Board Nominees

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 9, 2014 – Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECTE), a medical device company developing its Symphony® CGM System as a non-invasive, wireless continuous glucose monitoring system, today announced that Egan-Jones Proxy Services, a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended to its clients that Echo stockholders vote the WHITE proxy card FOR the Echo Board of Directors’ director nominees at Echo’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 19, 2014. Egan-Jones’ clients include institutional investors, mutual funds, pension funds and other fiduciaries. As previously announced, the Platinum Group, a dissident stockholder group led by Platinum Management (NY) LLC, is pursuing a proxy contest to elect Shepard M. Goldberg to the Echo Board at Echo’s 2014 Annual Meeting in opposition to Echo’s highly qualified and very experienced director and Interim CEO, Robert F. Doman. With Egan-Jones, ISS and Glass Lewis making the same recommendation, all three of the leading independent proxy advisory firms have now advised Echo’s stockholders to support the Echo Board’s nominees and reject the Platinum Group’s nominee, Shepard Goldberg.
 
In recommending that Echo stockholders vote the WHITE proxy card FOR the director nominees recommended by the Echo Board, Egan-Jones concluded the Platinum Group had been unpersuasive in making the case that their prevailing in their proxy contest would result in changes in Echo’s strategic direction which would likely lead to enhancements in Echo’s shareholder value. Egan-Jones also noted that it did not believe that the Platinum Group had made a persuasive case that their proposed, additional representative on the board would result in the enhancement of shareholder value. Egan-Jones also recognized that, based upon the Platinum Group’s having already designated Michael M. Goldberg, M.D. as a director of Echo, adding Shepard Goldberg, a first cousin, longtime business associate and former direct report of Dr. Goldberg at Emisphere Technologies, Inc. as another Platinum Group director on the Board would not add valuable perspectives and competencies to the Board and would therefore be unwise. Furthermore, Egan-Jones indicated that it was not convinced that the election of the Platinum Group’s nominee to the Board would work to the benefit of all stockholders.
 
Last week, both ISS Proxy Advisory Services and Glass, Lewis & Co., both leading independent proxy advisory firms, also issued reports recommending that stockholders reject the Platinum Group’s nominee, Shepard Goldberg, and vote the WHITE proxy card in favor of the election of the Echo Board’s nominees. In their respective reports, ISS and Glass Lewis concluded that they were not convinced that the board change proposed by the Platinum Group is warranted at this time. ISS noted in its report that it did not believe that the Platinum Group had demonstrated that change in board composition would likely lead to some better outcome than the incumbent board’s current strategy. The ISS report noted as follows “the dissident has not made a compelling case that further change to the composition of the board is necessary at this time. As such, shareholder support for the management slate of nominees is warranted.”

In reaching its conclusion that stockholders should vote the WHITE proxy card in favor of the election of the Echo Board’s nominees, Glass Lewis noted in its report that the Platinum Group had failed to nominate a qualified board candidate free from significant conflicts and took note of the past track record of the Platinum Group’s nominee, Shepard Goldberg, who the Echo Board had previously interviewed and determined did not meet its criteria for Board membership. Mr. Goldberg is the first cousin and a longtime business associate of Michael M. Goldberg, M.D., Platinum’s current designee to the Echo Board. Among other things, the Echo Board considered that the majority of Mr. Goldberg’s career had been spent at a privately-held swimming pool products company, that the only public company board experience that Mr. Goldberg had was at companies where either Michael Goldberg or Platinum was an investor, and the potential effect of Mr. Goldberg’s familial relationship with Michael Goldberg as well as his past and present professional relationships with him and with Platinum on his ability to represent the interests of Echo and all of its stockholders. Mr. Goldberg had also failed to respond to a request from the Echo Board requesting information on how he would address potential conflicts of interests with Platinum and Michael Goldberg. In assessing Mr. Goldberg’s past record and his qualifications for membership on the Echo Board, Glass Lewis noted as follows:
 
“Perhaps the bigger argument to be made against supporting the Dissident’s contest at this time lies with the track record of the Dissident Nominee. In particular, we note that Mr. Goldberg’s tenure at three other public (or then-public) biopharmaceutical/biotech firms have been marred by significant declines in shareholder value (declines of between 85% and 100%), including one firm that had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In our view, this track record is not likely to engender much confidence in the Dissident Nominee’s ability to enhance shareholder value for the Company.”
 
In recommending that stockholders vote the WHITE proxy card to re-elect the Echo Board’s highly qualified and very experienced director nominee, Robert F. Doman, who brings to the Echo Board over 30 years of executive level, international and domestic management, business development, commercialization, product development and strategic planning experience and extensive experience in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries, Glass Lewis recognized how new Mr. Doman is to Echo and how unreasonable it would be for stockholders to hold Mr. Doman accountable for Echo’s underperformance, noting as follows:
 
“[W]e note that the management nominee that the Dissident is effectively seeking to remove at this meeting is Mr. Doman, who has served on the board for just over a year. Mr. Doman joined the Echo board in March 2013 as an independent, non-employee director, before later being appointed as executive chairman and interim CEO on August 26, 2013. Given Mr. Doman’s relatively brief tenure on the Company’s board thus far, and absent clear and compelling evidence that Mr. Doman has taken specific actions that are not in shareholders’ best interests (which we believe the Dissident has failed to provide), we believe that it would be unreasonable for shareholders to hold Mr. Doman accountable for the Company’s long-term underperformance at this time. Further, we note that for the brief unaffected period during which Mr. Doman has served as Echo’s interim CEO (i.e., between August 26, 2013 and April 16, 2014), the Company’s TSR [total shareholder return] was up approximately 30.3%, which was better than the average and median TSRs of the peer group over the same time period (18.7% and 7.6%, respectively).”
 
In its report, Glass Lewis also commented on the initiatives that the Platinum Group has proposed for Echo finding them to be vague and lacking in detail, noting as follows:
 
“Further, we believe that the Dissident has failed to put forth a compelling plan for the Company. Most of the initiatives being proposed by the Dissident (e.g., cutting costs and hiring a new permanent CEO) have already been undertaken by the current board, while some of the other initiatives (e.g., hiring strategic advisers and finding optimal financing alternatives) appear to us to be fairly vague and lacking in detail.”
 
“We are very pleased that all three of the leading independent proxy advisory firms have carefully reviewed the voting alternatives and have recommended that stockholders vote for Echo's director nominees on the WHITE proxy card,” said William F. Grieco, Echo’s Lead Independent Director.
 
To protect the value of their investment, Echo strongly recommends that all stockholders vote for their Board’s nominees on the WHITE proxy card TODAY—by telephone, Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the WHITE proxy card.
 
Echo is being advised in connection with the proxy contest by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Alston & Bird LLP.  Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC is serving as Echo’s proxy solicitor.
