- During the meeting, ProLung management openly recognized the Consent Solicitation had been divisive for all parties involved, including our shareholders. The Company is grateful to see our shareholders begin to reconcile and rally together again in support of our future.
- The Company announced it had accepted an offer made in mid-November 2018 by its former CEO, Mr. Steven C. Eror, to provide outside consulting services as may be requested by the Company. The Company and interim CEO appreciate the opportunity to access Mr. Eror's institutional knowledge as needed.

We firmly believe ProLung has an opportunity to make a tremendous difference for lung cancer patients around the globe and establish our ProLung Test™ as the gold standard. While we still have a lot of work in front of us and that starts with a focus on optimizing the underlying science and technology, we have a multi-faceted strategy in place to give us the best possible opportunity going forward. Finally, we are grateful to have Mr. Eror available as an outside consultant because we recognize his institutional knowledge and are appreciative of his willingness to share it with the Company at this critical juncture.''
About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, killing more than colorectal, breast and prostate cancers combined. There is a severe unmet clinical need to reduce the time required to determine malignancy in patients diagnosed with IPNs. Patients with IPNs can wait months, or even years, receiving multiple CT scans to confirm malignancy in the lungs. This wait often proves fatal as the cancer advances and spreads. In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the first national lung cancer screen utilizing a low-dose CT scan (LDCT) of the chest for high-risk adults, which was based in part on a 2013 recommendation by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The screen will amplify this clinical need as up to 24 million patients with IPNs may experience a narrowing treatment window as they wait.
