Situation Overview • Harbert Discovery Fund (“Harbert”) — a short - term oriented activist hedge fund focused on micro - cap companies that we believe has no operational experience or background in our sector — is seeking to replace two highly qualified directors up for election at Enzo’s 2019 Annual Meeting and take control of 40% of Enzo’s Board • Over a period of several months, Enzo made concerted efforts to engage constructively with Harbert and understand their persp ect ives, but our efforts to work constructively with Harbert were not reciprocated – Enzo met with Harbert and provided a “Lab Tour” in January 2019 – In May 2019, Harbert demanded that we immediately replace two incumbent directors (with no preference as to which incumbents it wanted to resign) without disclosing to us the names of their proposed replacement candidates until July 2019 – In an effort to engage constructively with Harbert , Enzo waived its request for the D&O questionnaire to be completed; Harbert never responded to our invitation to interview their candidates – In addition to not following standard, reasonable protocol for director nominations, Harbert has not demonstrated knowledge of our business or sector or advanced a coherent plan to improve Enzo • While Harbert has attacked us, Enzo has a history of proactive change to our business and corporate governance profile , informed by active engagement with our shareholders – Exploration of strategic alternatives for Therapeutics business with the assistance of Lazard – Implemented initiatives to reduce costs in light of industry environment – Recent Board addition, Rebecca Fischer, resulting from thoughtful refreshment process, and adoption of Board Diversity Policy – Governance enhancements such as bylaw proposed for adoption of majority voting and modifications to compensation plan to increase alignment with long - term performance – Appointment of new CFO to free Barry Weiner up to focus on operations and ensure that the CFO is no longer a Board member 3

 

Situation Overview (cont’d) • Enzo’s strategy is the product of extensive analysis and thoughtful planning and is showing meaningful progress – Our business plan is well - vetted and deliberate; in contrast, we believe Harbert’s ill - conceived arguments demonstrate an utter lack of understanding of our business and of the challenges facing the broader diagnostics market and do not create long - term value for Enzo shareholders – Harbert has not made any suggestions to improve the business that Enzo’s Board has not already thoroughly considered • Enzo’s candidates have deep expertise and knowledge of our business and sector and are the right choice to continue Enzo’s progress on its value - creation strategy – By contrast, Harbert’s nominees do not have relevant experience for Enzo and, moreover, repeatedly refused to share any insights or plan for Enzo – The only public company directorship ever held by either candidate is at a micro - cap company based in Georgia (former Soviet Republic) At this critical juncture, replacing two highly qualified candidates with Harbert’s highly questionable nominees should raise significant concerns for shareholders 4

Enzo’s Market Opportunity Is Substantial 6 By continuing to execute its three - pronged strategy for value creation, Enzo is poised to capitalize on significant market opportunity Harbert threatens to jeopardize Enzo’s strategy at exactly the wrong time Diagnostic Assay North America Global Infectious Diseases $1,500 $3,300 Womens Health $700 $1,300 CT/NG $300 $450 BV $140 $300 HPV $300 $430 HSV $90 $250 HIV $160 $363 HBV $250 $561 HCV $120 $264 Total $3,560 $7,218 Enzo’s Current Market Share <1.0% Revenue from Incremental 1% Market Share $36 $72 Potential Enzo Revenue Impact 1 44% 89% • Enzo’s opportunity in molecular diagnostics is significant, with each incremental 1% of global market share corresponding to $72m of incremental revenue – And , molecular diagnostics is just one portion of Enzo’s overall diagnostics offering • Enzo is also executing to expand its share of the ~$170bn clinical lab market Total Addressable Molecular Diagnostics Market ($ million, 2019E) Additional Market Opportunities Source: Grand View Research, Public Company Reports. 1 Relative to FY19 Revenue of $81m. Enzo is executing its three - pronged strategy for value creation to take advantage of significant opportunities across its businesses How Is Enzo Capitalizing on the Opportunity?

 

“We continue to believe that Enzo’s strategy to be a low cost provider of diagnostic products and services — ’ central capability’ for smaller labs — should resonate, and it appears Enzo is progressing towards having a critical mass on the product side to engage in a fuller rollout of the strategy” Craig - Hallum Capital Group Research Report , June 2019 Executing Three - Pronged Strategy for Value Creation Progress Form Strategic Relationships for Diagnostic Growth Actively engaging with several global life sciences, healthcare and medical device companies Seeking to form strategic relationships or new venture creation across key product platforms Retained Lazard to assist in forming strategic relationships or new venture creation Build a New Model for the Diagnostic Marketplace Rolled out new Labs - to - Labs business model, whereby Enzo will serve as the “central capability” for smaller and mid - size labs, thereby increasing capacity utilization and profitability – Initiated first three Labs - to - Labs relationships and actively forging additional relationships Capitalizing on scale in high - value, lower - cost operations, proprietary IP and products, decades of innovation and commitment to medical solutions Return to Operating Profitability and Growth in the Lab Segment Aggressively controlling operational costs and improving margins in the labs segment to return labs business to growth and profitability Implemented initiatives estimated to reduce routine expenses in labs by ~$10 million in the coming calendar year Objective remains to return to operating profitability in calendar 2020 Enzo is making meaningful progress in executing its three - pronged strategy designed to unlock shareholder value and drive future growth 7

 

Neither Harbert Nor Its Nominees Has Relevant Experience or a Plan for Enzo Harbert refused to engage in constructive discussions with Enzo, including initially refusing to provide the identities of their nominees; Harbert’s nominees have declined to participate in a standard nominee interview process Neither Harbert nor its nominees have presented a coherent strategy or plan for Enzo other than driving a fire sale of Enzo at depressed valuations Harbert’s nominees lack any relevant experience and offer no discernable additive value to Enzo’s Board of Directors and if elected, would comprise 40% of Enzo’s Board Harbert has no investment track record in the healthcare space (as historical activist positions have been in the Finance and Technology sectors) and is a relatively new shareholder in Enzo Harbert’s critiques of Enzo are uninformed and demonstrate a fundamental lack of knowledge about our business and sector Flawed investment thesis jeopardizes Enzo’s meaningful progress at a critical time Harbert has an alleged criminal history in New York, whereas Enzo has close relationships with regulators in New York and has created jobs and provided vital services in the state 8 Harbert has failed to suggest a single idea to improve Enzo’s business that the Board has not already thoughtfully considered

 

Unqualified and Inferior Nominees Lack of Healthcare Experience What Is Harbert Hiding? We believe Harbert’s disingenuous behavior and lack of healthcare experience raise alarming questions about their intentions Refusal to Participate in Board Refreshment Process 1 2 3 9 Harbert’s lack of cooperation, healthcare knowledge and thoughtful ideas for Enzo are highly disconcerting Harbert refused to identify their nominees for months and later declined our invitation to interview their candidates Harbert has no experience with investments in healthcare Harbert’s nominees have no relevant healthcare experience or public Board experience and are far less qualified than the Company’s nominees

Enzo’s Three Interdependent Businesses 17 • Develops, formats and manufactures high - performance diagnostics products on a large scale and markets the products on a global basis Diagnostics • Internal validation enables Enzo to forego higher cost of licensing an outside CRO (which may have other prioritizations that do not align with Enzo’s timing and direction) • Provides invaluable firsthand knowledge of market needs, lab workflow and potential barriers • Self - funded R&D enables Enzo to forego higher cost of licensing IP to innovate • Freedom of operations by overcoming obstacles otherwise presented by trade secrets/patents Enzo’s integrated model houses synergistic and symbiotic businesses that enhance the overall value of the combined company • Develops technologies and platforms that serve as the engine for innovative product development and generate an extensive intellectual property estate Innovation and IP Technology Platform Clinical Services • State - of - the - art clinical lab provides meaningful insight and knowledge, allowing commercialization of high - value diagnostics assays The critical synergies between Enzo’s interdependent businesses mean that any separation would destroy meaningful value Synergies Synergies 1

Enzo is Well - Positioned to Succeed Despite Recent Industry Headwinds In the past five years, Enzo has laid the foundation for a pioneering model for a novel diagnostics business that effectively responds to cost pressures faced by clinical labs 20 • Industry dynamics impose severe, increasing pressure on lab margins – Declining reimbursement – Unreasonably high cost of goods sold (COGS) for high volume tests imposed by reliance on “closed” diagnostics systems that inhibit third - party reagent competition • Enzo identified the opportunity created by industry headwinds and responded by pursuing a strategy to transform into an integrated healthcare company in 2015 • Initial traction in 2017, as headwinds from reimbursement and COGS accelerated – PAMA law signing announced in 2014, effective January 2018 – Further validated the long - term case for Enzo’s business model, despite short - term challenges As the market adapts to the reimbursement environment, Enzo is well positioned to succeed “While reimbursement is a persistent pressure point … we do believe it to be an affirmation — though it will take time to manifest — of Enzo’s push to lower the cost of diagnostic products and services … We think its economic case as a lab - to - lab product and service provider will increasingly resonate , as we think it highly improbable that other labs (of all sizes) aren’t dealing with similar pressures . Ultimately, we think that pressure plays into Enzo’s strategy and, eventually, will show up in results . ” CRAIG - HALLUM CAPITAL GROUP RESEARCH REPORT, OCTOBER 2018 2

 

Enzo’s Cost Savings Proposition Creates a Unique Market Opportunity 21 Enzo’s Unique Low - Cost Strategy Allows Favorable Positioning Relative to Competitors 1 Company reports . “It was tough pre - 2018 and with the PAMA pricing pressure, it’s become even tougher . Frankly, I’m amazed that so many independent labs have been able to hang on … How are smaller labs making money? I imagine they’re working hard and not sleeping well … they have got to diversify into … some form of proprietary testing that is shielded from PAMA . ” LABORATORY ECONOMICS VOLUME 14 NO . 9 , SEPTEMBER 2019 “Back in 2016 – 2017 , both Lab - Corp and Quest Diagnostics had the foresight to lock down nearly all of their private insurance contracts at pre - PAMA rates for multi - year contract lengths . This has helped them limit the fallout from PAMA to mostly just their Medicare and Medicaid fee - for - service revenues . But most independent clinical labs were unable to lock in pre - PAMA rates for their private insurance contracts . ” LABORATORY ECONOMICS VOLUME 14 NO. 12, DECEMBER 2019 Independent Clinical Labs Face Amplified Pressure Following PAMA: 2 $48 $48 [VALUE] $43 $40 $40 $20 $20 $11 $6 HPV Test CTNGTV Test Competitor COGS $8 – 10 Competitor COGS $ 15 – 20 Test Economics 1 PAMA Reimbursement Medicare 2017 Medicare 2018 Medicare 2019 Private Reimbursement Private Payor 2019 Enzo Test Price

 

Enzo’s Unique Value Proposition to Customers Potential Savings: • Cumulative royalty relief — Enzo owns ALL IPs – IP generation process is already paid for • Low cost of goods – Enzo’s cumulative technology capability is the foundation – Enzo’s robust product development pipeline creates platforms with low cost of product development for open systems • No capital investment – Enzo’s products don’t require dedicated/expensive/closed systems instrumentation Even with reimbursement erosion, we deliver cost relief to the market while maintaining healthy margins for Enzo +10 – 15% +10 – 20% +10 – 15% Source: Company estimates. 22 Estimated Total Savings: 30 – 50% 2

 

Why Haven’t Other Players Addressed the Problem? Others in the industry have not been able to adapt to today’s reimbursement pressures, creating opportunity for Enzo to disrupt the antiquated single - platform - centric model • Clinical labs have made substantial efforts to reduce costs and focus on labor expenses - Due to business - and operations - mandated staffing levels, clinical labs are no longer able to continue to cut labor costs as aggressively as in the past - Cost of referring molecular diagnostics tests to other clinical labs is prohibitive, and cost of reagents is proportionate to reimbursement pressure • In many clinical labs, the costs of the reagents utilized to run diagnostics tests are greater than the amount payors are paying - Closed systems molecular diagnostics platforms companies have generally refused or have been unable to reduce the prices they charge to clinical labs due to margin pressure • Closed systems complete the margin squeeze - Legacy diagnostics manufacturers need closed systems to force reagents to single - test platforms, i.e., test kits that generally only work on the instrumentation with which they were sold Maxed Out Effort in Reducing Costs Molecular Diagnostics Are Unable or Unwilling to Reduce Prices Biotech Molecular Diagnostics Clinical Services 23 2

Unqualified and Inferior Nominees Lack of Healthcare Experience What Is Harbert Hiding? We believe Harbert’s disingenuous behavior and lack of healthcare experience raise alarming questions about their intentions Refusal to Participate in Board Refreshment Process 1 2 3 39 Harbert’s lack of cooperation, healthcare knowledge and thoughtful ideas for Enzo are highly disconcerting Harbert refused to identify their nominees for months and later declined our invitation to interview their candidates Harbert has no experience with investments in healthcare Harbert’s nominees have no relevant healthcare experience or public Board experience and are far less qualified than the Company’s nominees

It is not surprising that Harbert admitted to not understanding the laboratory business, given they have no investment history other than Enzo in the healthcare sector 40 (Media & Telecom) (Real Estate) (Tech) (Finance) (Tech) (Tech) (Tech) (Tech) Harbert’s Kenan Lucas admitted to having no knowledge of the laboratory business. This makes sense given Harbert has not held any activist holdings in the healthcare sector aside from Enzo: (Finance) (Tech)

 

Harbert’s Problematic History in New York “The New York attorney general’s office on Tuesday said it reached a $ 40 million settlement with an Alabama investment firm over the failure of members of an investment management company it sponsored to pay millions in New York state taxes [ … ]” “Our investigation uncovered a brazen and deliberate decision to avoid paying millions in taxes owed to New York State,” Mr . Schneiderman said in a statement . ” Harbert Management made a clear choice to skirt the rules, and as a result, ordinary New York taxpayers were left footing the bill . ” THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 18 APRIL 2017 Maintaining close and good relationships with regulators and elected officials in New York is vital to Enzo’s business; by contrast, Harbert has an alleged history of deliberately skirting the rules in New York 41

 

Harbert’s Nominees Do N ot Offer V alue for Enzo Because Harbert’s nominees declined to participate in any interview process, we have no basis for evaluating them except based on their resumes Harbert’s nominees’ resumes show they are not the right Directors for Enzo Fabian Blank Peter Clemens, IV Uncooperative , Uninterested, Irrelevant 42

 

Harbert Nominee: Fabian Blank Employment history is hyper - regional and non - U.S. (Georgia (former Soviet Republic), Israel and Germany), of questionable value to Enzo and complicates Board participation According to his resume, he has at least 7 current affiliations — how can he devote the time required to be an effective Enzo Director?

Harbert Nominee : Peter Clemens, IV Peter Clemens, IV Has not served on any public company Boards Experience disclosed in resume (our sole basis for evaluating him) is not relevant to Enzo Named defendant in litigation alleging that, while at Caremark, he received backdated stock options and then accepted CVS’s bid because the merger structure would eliminate liability from the backdating scheme Claims to have worked with private equity to sell DSI Renal, a transaction being challenged as an asset dilution scheme in bankruptcy court Declined invitation to be interviewed by Enzo’s Board Experience Relevant to Enzo?
