Background The Series B Warrants were issued in connection with Ortec's Series B Preferred Stock financings in 2002 and 2003. Special Warrant Offer Ortec is offering to permit the holders of its outstanding Series B Warrants to exercise their Series B Warrants in accordance with the following provisions: A. The holders shall each be entitled to purchase one-third (1/3) (three ninths (3/9)) of such shares of Ortec common stock they could otherwise purchase upon exercise of such portions of their Series B Warrants they elect to exercise (the "Exercised Series B Warrants") pursuant to this Special Warrant Offer, at a reduced exercise price of $1.67 per share (the "Adjusted Exercise Price"); B. Concurrently with such exercise of the Exercised Series B Warrants, the holder shall be entitled to purchase an additional two ninths (2/9) of such shares of Ortec common stock they could otherwise purchase upon exercise of such Exercised Series B Warrants, at the reduced exercise price of one cent ($0.01) per share (the "Second Adjusted Exercise Price:"); and C. Surrender the right to purchase the remaining four ninths (4/9) of such shares of Ortec common stock they could otherwise purchase upon exercise of such Exercised Series B Warrants. For warrant holders whose participation in this Special Warrant Offer would result in ownership in excess of 9.99% of the common stock currently outstanding, such holders shall be issued in lieu of Ortec's common stock so many shares of Ortec's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as would entitle such holder to acquire, upon conversion, the same number of shares of Ortec's common stock. Such Series D pays no dividend and shall convert into common stock when the holder's ownership percentage falls below 9.99%. All common shares delivered to the holders pursuant to this Special Warrant Offer are registered for resale pursuant to Ortec's prospectus dated September 28, 2004.
