PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD November 29, 2007

The board of directors of Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Immtech,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), hereby solicits your proxy for use at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on November 29, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) at the Grand Hyatt New York, 109 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017 in the Regency Room on the Mezzanine Level, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of annual meeting of stockholders. This proxy statement, notice and proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders of record as of October 16, 2007 on or about October , 2007.

If you complete your proxy by mail, telephone or Internet, you appoint Eric L. Sorkin and Gary C. Parks as your proxies at the annual meeting. Your proxies will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy, but fail to instruct how to vote your shares, Mr. Sorkin or Mr. Parks will vote your shares in favor of the slate of directors nominated by the board and “for” the proposals set forth on the proxy card. This way your shares will be voted whether or not you attend. We recommend that you vote by proxy in advance of the annual meeting even if you plan to attend just in case your plans change and you are unable to attend.

The board does not know of any matters to be presented at the annual meeting other than those listed on the notice and described in this proxy statement. If a matter comes up for vote that is not covered by your proxy, your proxies will vote your shares in accordance with their judgment if you have competed your proxy card and authorized them to do so.

The board encourages you to attend the annual meeting in person. No matter what method you use to vote, if you decide to change your vote, you may revoke your proxy any time before your vote is cast at the annual meeting by (i) giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of Immtech, (ii) submitting a signed proxy bearing a date later than the date of the prior proxy or (iii) attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the annual meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of your proxy.

Our principal executive offices are located at One North End Avenue, New York, NY 10282, and our telephone number is (212) 791-2911 or toll free (877) 898-8038.

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING

At our annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:

Proposal No. 2– to approve the Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”);

Proposal No. 3– to ratify the audit committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008; and

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Who is entitled to vote?

The record date for the meeting is October 16, 2007. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled to vote at the meeting. For more information, see the description of shares eligible to vote under the heading “Voting Rights of Common and Preferred Stockholders” below.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in “street name”?

Yes, if a bank or brokerage firm holds your shares in street name for you, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank or brokerage firm (the “record holder”), along with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the record holder how to vote your shares, and the record holder is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.

What if I do not give my bank or brokerage firm voting instructions for my shares held in “street name”?

If you do not give instructions to your bank or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote your shares in its discretion on “routine matters.” For purposes of this annual meeting, the Company has determined that the election of directors (Proposal 1), and the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors (Proposal 3) are routine matters. However, absent your instructions, the record holder will not be permitted to vote your shares on non-routine matters, which are referred to as “broker non-votes,” including the proposal to approve the 2007 Plan (Proposal 2) and any other non-routine matter properly brought before the meeting. Broker non-votes (shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to

vote on the matter and have not received voting instructions from their clients) are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether stockholders have approved that proposal.

May I attend the annual meeting if I hold my shares in “street name”?

As the beneficial owner of shares, you are invited to attend the annual meeting. If you are not a record holder, however, you may not attend the meeting or vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares. See “Who can attend the meeting?” below.

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

A quorum must be present at the meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares (including the number of shares represented by our outstanding preferred stock on an as-if converted basis) as of the record date, will constitute a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions or treated as broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting for quorum purposes.

What if a quorum is not present at the meeting?

If a quorum is not present or represented at the meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person or represented by proxy or the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present or represented. The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice may be given.

How do I vote if I am a registered stockholder?

1. You may vote by mail. If you are a registered stockholder (that is, if you hold your stock directly and not in street name), you may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the accompanying proxy card and returning it in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Your proxy will then be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with your instructions.

2. You may vote by telephone or on the Internet. If you are a registered stockholder, you may vote by telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions included on the proxy card. Stockholders with shares registered directly with Computershare Investor Services, LLC, Immtech’s transfer agent, may vote (i) on the Internet at the following web address: http://www.investorevote.com or (ii) by telephone by dialing 800-652-VOTE (8683) (toll free from the United States and Canada). If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you do not have to mail in your proxy card. If you wish to attend the meeting in person, however, you will need to bring the admission ticket attached to the proxy card with you. Internet and telephone voting are available 24 hours a day. Votes submitted through the Internet or by telephone must be received by 1:00 a.m. (Central Time) on November 29, 2007.

NOTE: If you vote on the Internet, you may elect to have next year’s proxy statement and annual report to stockholders delivered to you via the Internet. We strongly encourage you

to enroll in Internet delivery. It is a cost-effective way for us to send you proxy materials and annual reports.

3. You may vote in person at the meeting. If you are a registered stockholder and attend the meeting (please remember to bring your admission ticket or other acceptable evidence of stock ownership as of the record date), you may deliver your completed proxy card in person.

How do I vote if I hold my shares in “street name”?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a voting card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from Immtech. Your bank or broker may permit you to vote your shares electronically by telephone or on the Internet. A large number of banks and brokerage firms participate in programs that offer telephone and Internet voting options. If your shares are held in an account at a bank or brokerage firm that participates in such a program, you may vote those shares electronically by telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions set forth on the voting form provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm.

These Internet and telephone voting procedures, which comply with Delaware law, are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, allow stockholders to vote their shares and confirm that stockholders’ votes have been recorded properly. Stockholders voting via either telephone or the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies that must be borne by the stockholder using such services. Also, please be aware that Immtech is not involved in the operation of these voting procedures and cannot take responsibility for any access, Internet or telephone service interruptions that may occur or any inaccuracies, erroneous or incomplete information that may appear.

Who can attend the meeting?

Only stockholders eligible to vote or their authorized representatives will be admitted to the meeting. If you plan to attend the meeting, detach and bring with you the stub portion of your proxy card, which is marked “Admission Ticket.” You must also bring a valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or a passport.

If your shares are held in street name and you wish to attend the meeting and/or vote in person, you must bring your broker or bank voter instruction card and a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares. In addition, you must bring a valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or a passport.

Security measures will be in place at the meeting and briefcases, handbags and packages are subject to inspection. No cameras or recording devices of any kind, or signs, placards, banners or similar materials, may be brought into the meeting. Anyone who refuses to comply with these requirements will not be admitted or, if admitted, will be required to leave.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote any time before your vote is cast at the meeting:

by submitting another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

by voting by telephone or on the Internet (your latest telephone or Internet vote is counted); or

if you are a registered stockholder, by giving written notice of such revocation to the Secretary of Immtech prior to or at the meeting. If notice is to be given prior to the meeting, please send it to: Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 150 Fairway Drive, Suite 150, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061, Attention: Mr. Gary C. Parks. Your attendance at the meeting itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote in person at the meeting.

Who will count the votes?

Our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, LLC, will tabulate and certify the votes. A representative of the transfer agent will serve as the inspector of election.

How does the board of directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

The board recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal in this proxy statement.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

FOR the election of the six nominees to the board of directors;

FOR the 2007 Plan; and

FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Immtech’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

Will any other business be conducted at the meeting?

We are not aware of any other business that will be presented at the meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the meeting, however, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares in accordance with his best judgment if you so authorize.

How many votes are required to elect the director nominees (Proposal 1)?

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to elect the six nominees as directors. This means that the six nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other person. If you vote “Withheld” with respect to one or more nominees, your shares will not be voted with respect to the person or persons indicated, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

What happens if a nominee is unable to stand for election?

If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the board of directors may either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, the proxy holder will vote your shares for the substitute nominee, unless you have withheld authority.

How many votes are required to approve the 2007 Plan (Proposal 2)?

Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote to approve the 2007 Plan.

How many votes are required to approve the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Immtech’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3)?

Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote to approve the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Immtech’s independent registered public accounting firm.

How will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

Shares voting “abstain” have no effect on the election of directors. For the proposals to approve the 2007 Plan (Proposal 2) and ratify the independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3) abstentions are treated as shares present or represented and voting, so abstaining has the same effect as a negative vote. Broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes, but not entitled to vote.

VOTING RIGHTS OF COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCKHOLDERS

The board has fixed the close of business on October 16, 2007 as the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. Holders of record of our common stock, $0.01 par value (“common stock”), series A convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“series A stock”), series B convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“series B stock”), series C convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“series C stock”), series D convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“series D stock”), and series E convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“series E stock”), at the close of business on the record date will

be entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters that come before the meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were issued and outstanding:

shares of common stock (representing votes);

shares of series A stock (representing votes);

shares of series B stock (representing votes);

shares of series C stock (representing votes);

shares of series D stock (representing votes); and

shares of series E stock (representing votes).

As of the record date, each share of series A stock was convertible into 5.6561 shares of common stock, each share of series B stock was convertible into 6.25 shares of common stock, each share of series C stock was convertible into 5.6561 shares of common stock and each share of series D stock was convertible into 2.7778 shares of common stock, and each share of series E stock was convertible into 3.5511 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote, each share of series A stock, series B stock, series C stock, series D stock, and series E stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such stock is convertible on the record date.

A total of votes representing common stock, series A stock, series B stock, series C stock, series D stock, and series E stock are entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

The presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, series A stock, series B stock, series C stock, series D stock, and series E stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 (“Fiscal Year 2007”), the board of directors held a total of four board meetings and took action by unanimous written consent on six occasions. All of our directors have agreed to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or their earlier resignation, removal, disqualification or death. There are no arrangements between any director or executive officer and any other person pursuant to which the director or officer is to be selected as such. There is no family relationship between the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or appointed by the board to become directors or executive officers. Directors Fleet, Lau, Lee, and Sinex are “independent” in accordance with the rules of the American Stock Exchange.

Each director attended at least 75% of (a) the total number of meetings of the board of directors and (b) the total number of meetings of all committees of the board of directors on which he or she served for Fiscal Year 2007. Immtech’s policy is to encourage board members to attend its annual meeting of stockholders. Two of our directors attended the previous annual meeting.

The board of directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. The function, composition, and number of meetings of each of these committees are described below.

Audit Committee

The audit committee (a) has sole authority to appoint, replace and compensate our independent registered public accounting firm and is directly responsible for oversight of its work; (b) approves all audit fees and terms, as well as any permitted non-audit services; (c) meets and discusses directly with our independent registered public accounting firm its audit work and related matters and (d) oversees and performs such investigations with respect to our internal and external auditing procedures and affairs as the audit committee deems necessary or advisable and as may be required by applicable law. Our audit committee’s charter can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.immtechpharma.com.

The members of the audit committee are Mr. Sinex (Chairman), Dr. Lee and Ms. Lau. Each member of the audit committee is “independent” in accordance with the current listing standards of the American Stock Exchange, and Mr. Sinex qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the rules of the SEC. The audit committee took action four times, by meeting or by written unanimous consent, during Fiscal Year 2007.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee (a) annually reviews and determines salaries, bonuses and other forms of compensation paid to our executive officers and management; (b) selects recipients of awards of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options and establishes the number of shares and other terms applicable to such awards; and (c) construes the provisions of and generally administers the Third Amended and Restated Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

The members of the compensation committee are Ms. Lau (Chairman), Dr. Lee and Mr. Sinex. Each member of the compensation committee is “independent” in accordance with the current listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. Our compensation committee’s charter can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.immtechpharma.com. The compensation committee took action three times, by meeting or by unanimous written consent, during Fiscal Year 2007.

Nominating Committee

The nominating committee has authority to review the qualifications of, interview and nominate candidates for election to the board of directors. The nominating committee took action one time during Fiscal Year 2007. Our nominating committee’s charter can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.immtechpharma.com. The members of the nominating committee are Dr. Lee (Chairman), Ms. Lau and Mr. Sinex. Each member of the nominating committee is “independent” in accordance with the current listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.

The primary functions of the nominating committee are to:

recruit, review and nominate candidates for election to the board of directors;

monitor and make recommendations regarding committee functions, contributions and composition;

develop the criteria and qualifications for membership on the board of directors; and

administer any director compensation plan.

The nominating committee works with the board to develop the credentials and characteristics required of board and committee nominees in light of current board and committee composition, our business, operations, applicable legal and listing requirements, and other factors they consider relevant. The nominating committee may identify other candidates, if necessary, through recommendations from our directors, management, employees, the stockholder nomination process, or outside consultants.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The compensation committee of our board of directors has overall responsibility for the compensation program for our executive officers. Specifically, the compensation committee establishes policies and otherwise discharges the responsibilities of the board with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, senior management, and other employees. In evaluating executive officer pay, the compensation committee may retain the services of an independent compensation consultant or research firm and consider recommendations from the chief executive officer and persons serving in supervisory positions over a particular officer or executive officer with respect to goals and compensation of the other executive officers. The executive officers are not present or involved in deliberations concerning their compensation. The compensation committee assesses the information it receives in accordance with its business judgment. The compensation committee is also responsible for administering all of our incentive and equity-based plans. All decisions with respect to executive compensation are first approved by the compensation committee and then submitted, together with the compensation committee’s recommendations, to the independent members of the board for final approval.

We choose to pay the various elements of compensation discussed in order to attract and retain the necessary executive talent, reward annual performance and provide incentive for primarily long-term strategic goals, while considering short-term performance.

Elements of compensation for our executives generally include:

base salary (typically subject to upward adjustment annually based on individual performance);

stock option awards;

401(k) plan contributions; and

health, disability and life insurance.

We believe that the compensation of our executives should reflect their success in attaining key Company objectives and individual factors. The key company objectives include: (1) growth of operating earnings and earnings per share; (2) improved return on assets; (3) satisfactory results of regulatory examinations; (4) growth or maintenance of market share; (5)

long-term competitive advantage, which lead to attaining an increased market price for our stock; (6) asset growth; and (7) improved asset quality. The key individual factors for each executive include: (1) the value of their unique skills and capabilities to support long-term performance of the Company; (2) performance of their management responsibilities; (3) whether an increase in responsibility or change in title is warranted; (4) leadership qualities; (5) business responsibilities; (6) career with our company; (7) current compensation arrangements; (8) long-term potential to enhance shareholder value; and (9) contribution as a member of the executive management team.

Our allocation between long-term and currently paid compensation is intended to ensure adequate base compensation to attract and retain personnel, while providing incentives to maximize long-term value for our Company and our shareholders. We provide cash compensation in the form of base salary to meet competitive salary norms and reward performance on an annual basis. We provide non-cash compensation to reward performance against specific objectives and long-term strategic goals. Our compensation package for our executive officers for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 ranges from 100% to 53% in cash compensation and 0% to 47% in non-cash compensation, including benefits and equity-related awards. We believe that this ratio is competitive within the marketplace for companies at our stage of development and appropriate to fulfill our stated policies.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salary

Our compensation committee desires to establish salary compensation for our executive officers based on our operating performance relative to comparable peer companies over a three year period. In recommending base salaries for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, our compensation committee considered salaries paid to executive officers of other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies similar in size, stage of development and other characteristics. Our compensation committee’s objective is to provide for base salaries that are competitive with the average salary paid by our peers. In making its recommendations, our compensation committee takes into account recommendations submitted by persons serving in a supervisory position over a particular officer or executive officer.

With respect to our fiscal year end March 31, 2007, the base salaries for our executive officers are reflected in our summary compensation table below and are as follows:

Eric L. Sorkin	$ 375,000
Cecilia Chan	$ 201,234
Gary Parks	$ 200,000
Carol Olson	$ 235,000

Bonus and Other Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation

Given our stage of development and our desire to conserve cash, we generally do not award cash bonuses or provide for other non-equity incentive plan compensation and did not make such awards in Fiscal Year 2007. As of fiscal year 2008, Mr. Sorkin, our chief executive officer, is entitled to a cash bonus of up to 60% of his base salary for each year of his employment with us based on milestones to be determined by our compensation committee, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with us. Those milestones have not yet been determined for the current fiscal year.

Stock Option and Equity Incentive Programs

We believe that equity grants provide our executive officers with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and closely align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders. Because of the direct relationship between the value of an option and the market price of our common stock, we have always believed that granting stock options is the best method of motivating the executive officers to manage our Company in a manner that is consistent with the interests of our Company and our shareholders. In addition, the vesting feature of our equity grants should aid officer retention because this feature provides an incentive to our executive officers to remain in our employ during the vesting period. In determining the size of equity grants to our executive officers, our compensation committee considers our company-level performance, the applicable executive officer’s performance, the period during which an executive officer has been in a key position with us, comparative share ownership of our competitors, the amount of equity previously awarded to the applicable executive officer, the vesting of such awards, the number of shares available under our 2000 Plan, the limitations under our 2000 Plan and the recommendations of management and any other consultants or advisors with whom our compensation committee may choose to consult.

In Fiscal Year 2007, stock options were granted under the 2000 Plan as an incentive to aid in the retention of the executive officers and to align their interests with those of Immtech’s stockholders and, for the same reasons, it is expected that additional stock options will be granted under the 2007 Plan if it is approved by Immtech’s stockholders.

We currently do not have any formal plan requiring us to grant, or not to grant, equity compensation on specified dates. With respect to newly hired executives, our practice is typically to consider stock grants at the first meeting of the compensation committee and board following such executive’s hire date. The recommendations of the compensation committee are subsequently submitted to the board for approval. We intend to ensure that we do not award equity grants in connection with the release, or the withholding, of material non-public information, and that the grant value of all equity awards is equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sorkin in December 2006 pursuant to which we intended to grant Mr. Sorkin stock options to purchase up to 325,000 of our shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on December 20, 2006 subject to stockholder approval of a new equity incentive plan. In March

2007, we amended and restated the employment agreement at Mr. Sorkin’s request to remove the requirement that he be granted stock options to purchase up to 325,000 shares of our common stock, and to provide that he will be eligible for future stock options conditioned on our achievements and milestones as determined by our compensation committee and our other independent directors.

We granted stock options to the executive officers on October 16, 2006. In keeping with our standard policy and practice, the exercise price of the stock options that were awarded was $5.74 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. The options generally vest ratably over a two year period from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. The options that were granted are set forth in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below. All options are intended to be qualified stock options as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the extent possible.

Perquisites

Our executives do not receive any perquisites and are not entitled to benefits that are not otherwise available to all of our employees. In this regard it should be noted that we do not provide pension arrangements, post-retirement health coverage, or similar benefits for our executives or employees.

Defined Contribution Plan

We maintain a qualified retirement plan pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) covering substantially all employees subject to certain minimum age and service requirements. Our 401(k) plan allows employees to make voluntary contributions. The assets of the 401(k) plan are held in trust for participants and are distributed upon the retirement, disability, death or other termination of employment of the participant.

Employees who participate in our 401(k) may contribute to their 401(k) account up to the maximum amount that varies annually in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. We also make available to 401(k) plan participants the ability to direct the investment of their 401(k) accounts in various investment funds.

Employment Agreements

In general, we do not enter into formal employment agreements with our employees, other than our chief executive officer. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sorkin, our current president and chief executive officer, and previously Mr. Thompson, our former president and chief executive officer.

Our compensation committee recommended these agreements in part to enable us to induce our chief executives to work at a small, dynamic and rapidly growing company where their longer-term compensation would largely depend on future stock appreciation. Our chief executive officer may from time to time have competitive alternatives that may appear to him to be more attractive or less risky than working at Immtech. The change in control and severance benefits also mitigate the risk of a potential acquisition of the company, particularly when services of the executive officer may not be required by the acquiring company. A description of

the terms of these agreements, including post-employment payments and triggers, is included in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Accounting and Tax Considerations

We select and implement our various elements of compensation for their ability to help us achieve our performance and retention goals and not based solely on any unique or preferential financial accounting treatment. In this regard, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally sets a limit of $1.0 million on the amount of annual compensation (other than certain enumerated categories of performance-based compensation) that we may deduct for federal income tax purposes with respect to the executive officers (other than our chief financial officer) listed in the summary compensation table below. Compensation realized upon the exercise of stock options is considered performance based if, among other requirements, the plan pursuant to which the options are granted has been approved by the a company’s stockholders and has a limit on the total number of shares that may be covered by options issued to any plan participant in any specified period. Options granted under our Amended & Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan are considered performance based. Therefore any compensation realized upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2000 Plan will be excluded from the deductibility limits of Section 162(m). While we have not adopted a policy requiring that all compensation be deductible, we consider the consequences of Section 162(m) in designing our compensation practices.

Generally, the exercise of an incentive stock option does not trigger any recognition of income or gain to the holder. If the stock is held until at least one year after the date of exercise (or two years from the date the option is granted, whichever is later), all of the gain on the sale of the stock, when recognized for income tax purposes will be capital gain, rather than ordinary income to the recipient. Consequently, we do not receive a tax deduction. For stock options that do not qualify as incentive stock options, we are entitled to a tax deduction in the year in which the stock options are exercised equal to the spread between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock for which the stock option was exercised. The holders of the non-qualified stock options are generally taxed on this same amount in the year of exercise.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Although we have not adopted any stock ownership guidelines, we believe that our compensation of executive officers, which includes the use of stock options, results in an alignment of interest between these individuals and our stockholders.

Benchmarking and Consultants

Our compensation committee reviews the history of all the elements of each executive officer’s total compensation over the past several years and compares the compensation of the executive officers with that of the executive officers in an appropriate market comparison group comprised of other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies similar in size, stage of development and other characteristics.

Post-Employment Compensation

Employment Agreement with Mr. Sorkin

Upon becoming the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in January 2006, Mr. Sorkin elected to provide services to the Company without receiving an annual salary. On December 20, 2006, the Company and Mr. Sorkin entered into an employment agreement pursuant to which Mr. Sorkin was engaged as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer through March 31, 2007, with annual automatic renewals, unless either party provides not less than 30 days written notice. Mr. Sorkin is entitled to receive an annual cash salary of $375,000 beginning on April 1, 2007. In connection with the employment agreement, he also had the right to receive a stock option to purchase up to 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price equal to $9.01, the closing price of our common stock on the date the agreement was signed, subject to the stockholders approval of a new equity incentive plan. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Sorkin also may receive (i) a cash bonus of up to 60% of his base salary beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, based on milestones set in the sole discretion of the compensation committee or in the discretion of the compensation committee together with the other independent members of the board of directors (as directed by the board). The Agreement was amended and restated in March 2007 at the request of Mr. Sorkin to remove the requirement that he be granted the 325,000 stock options and to provide that he will only receive future stock options if the Company achieves certain milestones as determined by the compensation committee and the other independent directors of the board.

If Mr. Sorkin is terminated without cause (as defined) or resigns for good reason (as defined), then he will be entitled to receive (i) six months severance based on his then current base salary, (ii) benefits for 12 months, (iii) cash bonus on the date he otherwise would have received it, (iv) vesting of all stock options and (v) the right to exercise all of his outstanding

stock options through the end of their respective terms. In the event of Mr. Sorkin’s death, his estate is entitled to (i) 12 months of base salary, (ii) benefits for 12 months, (iii) vesting of all outstanding stock options, (iv) pro rata share of cash bonus through date of death, and (v) the right to exercise the options through the end of their respective terms. If Mr. Sorkin becomes disabled (as defined) he is entitled to receive (i) 12 months of his base salary (paid out of disability insurance to the extent available), (ii) benefits for 12 months, (iii) pro rata share of cash bonus through the date of disability, (iv) vesting of all outstanding stock options and (v) the right to exercise the stock options through the end of their respective terms. In the event there is a change in control of the Company (as defined), whether or not Mr. Sorkin’s employment is terminated, all outstanding stock options will vest.

The following table quantifies the amounts that we would owe Mr. Sorkin upon each of the termination triggers discussed above:

Overview of Compensation and Procedures

We generally compensate non-employee directors for their service as a member of the board of directors through the grant to each such director of 20,000 options to purchase shares of common stock upon joining the board. In addition, each non-employee director receives options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock for each subsequent year of board service, options to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock for each year of service on each board committee and options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock for each board committee chaired. Such options are generally granted at fair market value on the date of grant, vest ratably over 2 years from the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

PROPOSAL 2

ADOPTION OF 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Background

Since its inception, our board of directors has relied upon stock options and restricted stock to attract and retain outstanding individuals to serve as the Company’s directors, executive officers, employees and consultants, and to align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The primary vehicle for this form of compensation currently is the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”). The Company’s stockholders approved the 2000 Plan at the 2000 annual meeting held on October 12, 2000, reserving for issuance pursuant to awards granted thereunder up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock. Subsequently, the Company’s stockholders approved increases in the shares available under the 2000 Plan, most recently on November 12, 2004, when the number of shares available was increased to 2,200,000.

As of September 24, 2007, there remained only 346,964 shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to stock options and/or restricted shares (collectively, “Awards”) granted under the 2000 Plan. Our board of directors has determined that the number of shares remaining under the 2000 Plan is insufficient to continue to meet the Company’s needs of attracting and retaining directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. As a result, on September 25, 2007, our board of directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). A copy of the 2007 Plan is set forth in full in Appendix A to this proxy statement. The 2007 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,846,964 shares of Common Stock pursuant to awards of stock options and restricted shares. This number represents an additional 1,500,000 shares added to the 346,964 shares that remain available under the 2000 Plan. In addition, the 2007 Plan provides that up to 1,592,263 shares of Common Stock may become available for issuance upon the expiration, forfeiture or cancellation of currently outstanding awards made under the 2000 Plan.

Upon receipt of stockholder approval of the 2007 Plan, the Company will not make any further awards under the 2000 Plan.

Stockholder approval of the 2007 Plan will enable the Company to make awards that qualify as performance-based compensation that is exempt from the deduction limitation set forth under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain exceptions, Section 162(m) generally limits the corporate income tax deductions to $1,000,000 annually for compensation paid to each of the Chief Executive Officer and the other four highest paid executive officers of the Company.

The board has not made any awards under the 2007 Plan, and has not determined what awards, if any, will occur if the 2007 Plan receives shareholder approval at the annual meeting. If the 2007 Plan had been in effect for the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, no additional awards would have occurred because all awards occurred under the 2000 Plan. Shareholder approval of the 2007 Plan will not affect outstanding awards made under the 2000 Plan, which will remain in full force and effect.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote will be required to approve the 2007 Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE IMMTECH
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN.

Summary of the 2007 Plan

The following summary is not intended to be complete and reference should be made to Appendix A for a complete statement of the terms and provisions of the 2007 Plan. Capitalized terms used in this summary and not otherwise defined will have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2007 Plan.

Purpose. The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate select employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its affiliates (referred to collectively as “eligible persons”).

Shares Subject to the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan provides that up to 1,846,964 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to Awards under the 2007 Plan. These shares shall be authorized but unissued shares, or shares that the Company has reacquired or otherwise holds in treasury or in a trust. The number of shares available for Awards, as well as the terms of outstanding Awards, are subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events. Shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Award that expires, or is forfeited, cancelled or becomes unexercisable will again be available for subsequent Awards, except as prohibited by law. In addition, the 2007 Plan provides that up to 1,592,263 shares of Common Stock may become available for issuance upon the expiration, forfeiture or cancellation of currently outstanding awards made under the 2000 Plan.

Administration. Either our board of directors or a committee appointed by our board of directors will administer the 2007 Plan. The board of directors and any committee exercising discretion under the 2007 Plan from time to time are referred to as the “Committee.” The Compensation Committee of the board of directors is currently acting as the Committee for purposes of the 2007 Plan. The board of directors may at any time appoint additional members to the Committee, remove and replace members of the Committee with or without cause, and fill vacancies on the Committee. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may authorize one or more persons who are reporting persons for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (or other executive officers) to make awards to eligible persons who are not reporting persons for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or other officers whom the Company has specifically authorized to make awards). With respect to decisions involving an award intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee is to consist of two or more directors who are “outside directors” for purposes of that Code section. The Committee may delegate administrative functions to individuals who are reporting persons for purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, officers or employees of the Company or its affiliates. With respect to any

decision relating to a reporting person, the Committee shall consist of two or more directors who are disinterested within the meaning of Rule 16b-3.

Subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan, the Committee has express authority to determine the eligible persons who will receive awards, the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each award, and the terms and conditions of awards. The Committee has broad discretion to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules relating to the 2007 Plan and its administration, to interpret and construe the 2007 Plan and the terms of all award agreements, and to take all actions necessary or advisable to administer the 2007 Plan. Within the limits of the 2007 Plan, the Committee may accelerate the vesting of any award, allow the exercise of unvested awards, and may modify, replace, cancel or renew them.

The 2007 Plan provides that the Company and its affiliates will indemnify members of the Committee and their delegates against any claims, liabilities or costs arising from the good faith performance of their duties under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan releases these individuals from liability for good faith actions associated with the Plan’s administration.

Eligibility. The Committee may grant options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) only to employees, and may grant all other awards to eligible persons. The discussion below uses the term “participant” to refer to an eligible person who has received an award. The 2007 Plan provides that no participant may receive Options that relate to more than 500,000 Shares in any twelve month period. Substantially all of the approximately 24 employees (including officers) of the Company and its affiliates and all four of the Company’s non-employee directors would be eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan.

Options. Options granted under the 2007 Plan provide participants with the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a predetermined exercise price. The Committee may grant options that are intended to qualify as ISOs or options that are not intended to so qualify (“Non-ISOs”). The 2007 Plan also provides that ISO treatment may not be available for options that become first exercisable in any calendar year to the extent the value of the underlying shares that are the subject of the option exceed $100,000 (based upon the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the option grant date).

Exercise Price for Options. The exercise price of Non-ISOs may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the grant date of the shares of Common Stock subject to the award (110% of fair market value for ISOs granted to employees who, at the time of grant, own more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock; and 100% of fair market value for ISOs granted to all other employees). As of the record date, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange was $ per share.

Exercise of Options. To the extent exercisable in accordance with the agreement granting them, an option may be exercised in whole or in part, and from time to time during its term; subject to earlier termination relating to a holder’s termination of employment or service. The Committee has the discretion to accept payment of the exercise price in any of the following forms (or combination of them): cash or check in U.S. dollars, certain shares of Common Stock, and cashless exercise under a program the Committee approves. The term over which participants may exercise options may not exceed ten years from the date of grant (five years in

the case of ISOs granted to employees who, at the time of grant, own more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock).

Subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement, the option may be exercised during the three-month period after the optionee retires, during the one-year period after the optionee’s termination of service due to death or permanent disability, and during the 90-day period after the optionee’s termination of employment without cause (but in no case later than the termination date of the option). The award agreements may, in the discretion of the Committee, set forth additional or different terms and conditions applicable to such option upon a termination or change in status of the employment or service of the option holder.

Restricted Shares. Under the 2007 Plan, the Committee may grant restricted shares that are forfeitable until certain vesting requirements are met. For restricted shares, the 2007 Plan provides the Committee with discretion to determine the terms and conditions under which a participant’s interests in such Awards becomes vested.

Whenever shares of Common Stock are delivered pursuant to these Awards, the participant will be entitled to receive additional shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) any stock dividends that the Company’s shareholders received between the date of the Award and issuance or release of the shares of Common Stock and (ii) a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the shares of Common Stock that the participant could have purchased at fair market value on the payment date of any cash dividends for shares of Common Stock if the participant had received such cash dividends between its grant date and its settlement date.

Income Tax Withholding. As a condition for the issuance of shares pursuant to awards, the 2007 Plan requires satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local, or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the award or the issuance of shares.

Transferability. Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except to the extent the Committee permits lifetime transfers in the form of Non-ISOs or Restricted Shares to charitable institutions, certain family members or related trusts, or as otherwise approved by the Committee.

Certain Corporate Transactions. The Committee shall equitably adjust the number of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the number of shares that have been authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan but as to which no awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to the 2007 Plan upon cancellation, forfeiture or expiration of an award, as well as the price per share covered by each such outstanding award, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Options under the 2007 Plan such alternative consideration (including securities of any surviving entity) as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Options so replaced. In any case,

such substitution of securities will not require the consent of any person who is granted options pursuant to the 2007 Plan.

In addition, in the event or in anticipation of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2007 Plan), all outstanding stock options and restricted shares shall immediately vest in full and no longer be subject to forfeiture provisions. In addition, the Committee may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion and authority, without obtaining the approval or consent of the Company’s stockholders or any participant with respect to his or her outstanding awards (except to the extent an award provides otherwise), take one or more of the following actions: (a) arrange for or otherwise provide that each outstanding award will be assumed or substituted with a substantially equivalent award by a successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation; (b) arrange or otherwise provide for payment of cash or other consideration to participants in exchange for the satisfaction and cancellation of outstanding awards; or (c) terminate upon the consummation of the transaction, provided that the Committee may in its sole discretion provide for vesting of all or some outstanding awards in full as of a date immediately prior to consummation of the Change of Control. To the extent that an award is not exercised prior to consummation of a transaction in which the award is not being assumed or substituted, such award shall terminate upon such consummation.

In the event of any distribution to the Company’s stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee may, in its discretion, appropriately adjust the price per share covered by each outstanding award to reflect the effect of such distribution. Finally, if the Company dissolves or liquidates, all awards will terminate immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation, subject to the ability of the board of directors to exercise any discretion that the board may exercise in the case of a Change in Control.

Term of the 2007 Plan; Amendments or Termination. The term of the 2007 Plan is ten years from the date the 2007 Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders. The board of directors may from time to time, amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2007 Plan; provided that no amendment, suspension or termination of the 2007 Plan shall materially and adversely affect awards already granted (with such an affect being presumed to arise from a modification that would trigger a violation of Section 409A of the Code) unless (1) it relates to an adjustment pursuant to certain transactions that change the Company’s capitalization, (2) it is otherwise mutually agreed between the participant and the Committee, or (3) the Committee determines in good faith, before a Change in Control, that the modification is not materially adverse to the participant. Furthermore, neither the Company nor the Committee shall, without stockholder approval, allow for a repricing within the meaning of the federal securities laws applicable to proxy statement disclosures. In addition, the Committee may not cancel an outstanding option whose exercise price is greater than fair market value at the time of cancellation for the purpose of reissuing the option to the participant at a lower exercise price or granting a replacement award of a different type. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend the 2007 Plan to eliminate provisions which are no longer necessary as a result of changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof.

Expected Tax Consequences. The following is a brief summary of certain tax consequences of certain transactions under the 2007 Plan. This summary is not intended to be complete and does not describe state or local tax consequences.

Under the United States Internal Revenue Code, the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes at the same time and in the same amount as the ordinary income that participants recognize pursuant to awards (subject to the participant’s overall compensation being reasonable, and to the discussion below with respect to Code section 162(m)). For participants, the expected U.S. federal income tax consequences of awards are as follows:

Non-ISOs. A participant will not recognize income at the time a Non-ISO is granted. At the time a Non-ISO is exercised, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issued to the participant on the exercise date, over (b) the exercise price paid for the shares. At the time of sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Non-ISO, the appreciation (or depreciation) in value of the shares after the date of exercise will be treated either as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

ISOs. A participant will not recognize income upon the grant of an ISO. There are generally no tax consequences to the participant upon exercise of an ISO (except the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option exercise price is a tax preference item possibly giving rise to an alternative minimum tax). If the shares of Common Stock are not disposed of within two years from the date the ISO was granted or within one year after the ISO was exercised, any gain realized upon the subsequent disposition of the shares will be characterized as long-term capital gain and any loss will be characterized as long-term capital loss. If both of these holding period requirements are not met, then a “disqualifying disposition” occurs and (a) the participant recognizes ordinary income gain in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeded the exercise price for the ISO and (b) any remaining amount realized on disposition (except for certain “wash” sales, gifts or sales to related persons) will be characterized as capital gain or loss.

Restricted Shares. In general, a participant will not recognize income at the time of grant of restricted shares, unless the participant elects to accelerate income taxation to the date of the award. In this event, a participant would recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the market value of the restricted shares over any amount the participant pays for them (in which case subsequent gain or loss would be capital in nature). In the absence of an election to accelerate income taxation to the date of an award, a participant must recognize taxable compensation income equal to the value of any cash or shares of Common Stock that the participant receives when the award vests.

Special Tax Provisions. Under certain circumstances, the accelerated vesting, cash-out or accelerated lapse of restrictions on awards in connection with a change in control of the Company might be deemed an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of the golden parachute tax provisions of Code section 280G, and the participant may be subject to a 20% excise tax and the Company may be denied a tax deduction. Furthermore, the Company may not be able to deduct the aggregate compensation in excess of $1,000,000 attributable to Awards that

are not “performance-based” within the meaning of Code section 162(m) in certain circumstances.

Income Taxes and Deferred Compensation. The 2007 Plan provides that participants are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with Awards (including any taxes arising under Section 409A of the Code), and that the Company will not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold any participant harmless from any or all of such taxes.

General Tax Law Considerations. The preceding paragraphs are intended to be merely a summary of certain important tax law consequences concerning a grant of options under the 2007 Plan and the disposition of shares issued thereunder in existence as of the date of this proxy statement. Special rules may apply to the Company’s officers, directors, or greater than ten percent shareholders. Participants in the 2007 Plan should review the current tax treatment with their individual tax advisors at the time of grant, exercise or any other transaction relating to an award or the underlying shares.

New Plan Benefits. The Committee will grant awards under the 2007 Plan at its discretion. All of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, and consultants are eligible for consideration by the board of directors for the grant of stock options and/or restricted shares under the 2007 Plan.

PROPOSAL 3

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our audit committee has appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to be our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 and the board of directors recommends the stockholders vote for ratification of that appointment. Deloitte & Touche LLP served in this capacity for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and has been our independent auditor since 1996.

The audit committee appoints our independent auditors annually and the board of directors subsequently requests ratification of such appointment by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting. The audit committee reviews and approves in advance the scope of the audit, the types of non-audit services that we will need and the estimated fees for the coming year. The audit committee also reviews and approves any non-audit services provided by our independent auditors to ensure that any such services will not impair the independence of the auditors. To the extent that our management believes that a new service or the expansion of a current service provided by our accountants is necessary, such new or expanded service is presented to the audit committee or one of its members for review and approval.

Before making its selection, the audit committee carefully considered Deloitte & Touche LLP’s qualifications as independent auditors, which included a review of Deloitte & Touche LLP’s performance in prior years, as well as its reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing. The audit committee expressed its satisfaction with Deloitte & Touche LLP in these respects.

Stockholder ratification of the audit committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditors is not required by law, the Company’s bylaws or otherwise. However, the board of directors is submitting the audit committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The members of the audit committee have been appointed by the board of directors. The audit committee is governed by a charter, which has been approved and adopted by the board of directors and which will be reviewed and reassessed annually by the audit committee. The audit committee is comprised of three independent directors.

The following Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Audit Committee Report by reference therein.

The audit committee assists the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing (i) the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to any governmental body or to the public, (ii) the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics and (iii) the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes.

In this context, the audit committee hereby reports as follows:

1. We have reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

2. The audit committee discussed with its independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended.

3. The audit committee received from its independent auditors the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the audit committee discussed with its independent auditors the independence of the auditors.

Based upon the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, we recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, for filing with the SEC.

Audit Committee

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

All compensation decisions made for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 were made exclusively by the independent directors serving on the compensation committee, with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, executive officers and other officers.

The members of the compensation committee for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 were Ms. Lau, Dr. Colten, and Mr. Wackerle (through March 2, 2007), none of whom were officers or employees of Immtech or any of our subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 or in any prior year. None of our executive officers served as a member of the board or compensation committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders of a registered class of equity securities to file reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock and other equity securities with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, we believe that during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, except as disclosed below, our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders timely filed all Section 16(a) reports applicable to them. Dr. Carol Ann Olson was late with one Form 4 filing (comprising one transaction) due to an administrative error.

Annual Report and Financial Statements

A copy of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, including audited financial statements, accompanies this notice of annual meeting and proxy statement. No portion of the annual report on Form 10-K is incorporated herein or is considered to be proxy-soliciting material.

We will provide without charge additional copies of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, to any stockholder upon written request. Requests should be directed to Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 150 Fairway Drive, Suite 150, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061, Attention: Mr. Gary C. Parks.

Solicitation of Proxies

Our officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders. We pay no additional compensation to our officers, directors or employees for such solicitation. Solicitations may be made personally, or by mail, facsimile or other electronic means, telephone, or messenger. We may reimburse brokers and other persons holding shares in their names or in the names of nominees for expenses in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners and obtaining proxies from such owners. Additionally, the board of directors may engage the firm of

Georgeson & Company, Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation and is estimated at $10,000.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are Immtech stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single proxy statement may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you notify your broker or the Company that you no longer wish to participate in “householding.” If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report in the future you may (1) notify your broker, (2) direct your written request to: Secretary, Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 150 Fairway Drive, Suite 150, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061 or (3) contact our Gary C. Parks, at (847) 573-0033. Upon a written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, Immtech will promptly deliver a separate copy of the annual report and proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.

Other Matters

The board does not intend to bring any other business before the meeting, and the board is not currently aware of any other matters to be voted on at the annual meeting except as disclosed in the notice of annual meeting of stockholders. However, if any other matters are properly presented at the annual meeting, those proxies granting such authority will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of stockholders’ your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card).

Stockholder Proposals for Next Annual Meeting

Any proposals of stockholders intended to be included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting relating to Immtech’s 2008 fiscal year must be received by us not later than June 24, 2008 and must otherwise comply with applicable requirements and laws. However, if Immtech changes the date of the annual meeting of stockholders relating to its 2008 fiscal year by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the date of the annual meeting of stockholders relating to its 2007 fiscal year, then stockholders will have a reasonable time before Immtech begins to print and mail its proxy materials for the meeting relating to its 2008 fiscal year to submit proposals. All notices or proposals, whether or not to be included in our proxy materials,

must be sent to our principal executive offices at One North End Avenue, New York, NY 10282, Attention: Gary Parks.

If a stockholder intends to submit a proposal at Immtech’s annual meeting relating to its 2008 fiscal year, which proposal is not intended to be included in Immtech’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting, the stockholder must give appropriate notice to the Secretary of Immtech at the address in the preceding paragraph not later than July 24, 2008 and no earlier than June 24, 2008; provided, however, if the notice for the annual meeting relating to Immtech’s 2008 fiscal year is more than 90 days before the first anniversary of the date the notice was mailed for annual meeting relating to Immtech’s 2007 fiscal year, notice by a stockholder will be timely if postmarked not less than the tenth day following the notice for the annual meeting relating to Immtech’s 2008 fiscal year.

Stockholders may contact Immtech’s Secretary for requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates.

Stockholders are urged to complete, sign, date and mail the proxy in the enclosed envelope, postage for which has been provided for mailing in the United States. Your prompt response is appreciated.

IMMTECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

____________________________

Plan Document

__________________________________

1.	Establishment, Purpose, and Types of Awards

Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby establishes this equity-based incentive compensation plan to be known as the “Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), in order to provide incentives and awards to select employees, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its Affiliates. The Plan permits the granting of the following types of awards (“Awards”), according to the Sections of the Plan listed here:

Section 6	Options
Section 8	Restricted Shares

The Plan is not intended to affect and shall not affect any stock options, equity-based compensation, or other benefits that the Company or its Affiliates may have provided, or may separately provide in the future pursuant to any agreement, plan, or program that is independent of this Plan.

2.	Defined Terms

Terms in the Plan that begin with an initial capital letter have the defined meaning set forth in Appendix A, unless defined elsewhere in this Plan or the context of their use clearly indicates a different meaning.

3.	Shares Subject to the Plan

Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that the Company may issue for all Awards is 1,846,964 Shares. In addition, up to 1,592,263 Shares will become available for issuance under the Plan upon the expiration, forfeiture or cancellation of awards made under the Third Amended and Restated Immtech International Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”), and of this amount, 1,592,263 Shares will be available for ISO Awards. For all Awards, the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, Shares that the Company has reacquired or otherwise holds in treasury, or Shares held in a trust.

Shares that are subject to an Award that for any reason expires, is forfeited, is cancelled, or becomes unexercisable, and Shares that are for any other reason not paid or delivered under

this Plan shall again, except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law, be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. In addition, the Committee may make future Awards with respect to Shares that the Company retains from otherwise delivering pursuant to an Award under this Plan either (i) as payment of the exercise price of an Award, or (ii) in order to satisfy the withholding or employment taxes due upon grant, exercise, vesting or distribution of an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 13 hereof, the number of Shares that are available for ISO Awards shall be determined, to the extent required under applicable tax laws, by reducing the number of Shares designated in the preceding paragraph by the number of Shares granted pursuant to Awards (whether or not Shares are issued pursuant to such Awards), provided that any Shares that are either issued or purchased under the Plan and forfeited back to the Plan, or surrendered in payment of the Exercise Price for an Award shall be available for issuance pursuant to future ISO Awards.

4.	Administration

(a) General. The Committee shall administer the Plan in accordance with its terms, provided that the Board may act in lieu of the Committee on any matter. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it deems advisable. In the absence of a duly appointed Committee or if the Board otherwise chooses to act in lieu of the Committee, the Board shall function as the Committee for all purposes of the Plan.

(b) Committee Composition. The Board shall appoint the members of the Committee. If and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Committee may authorize one or more Reporting Persons (or other executive officers) to make Awards to Eligible Persons who are not Reporting Persons (or other executive officers whom the Committee has specifically authorized to make Awards). The Board may at any time appoint additional members to the Committee, remove and replace members of the Committee with or without Cause, and fill vacancies on the Committee however caused.

(c) Powers of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion:

(i) to grant awards and to determine Eligible Persons to whom Awards shall be granted from time to time and the number of Shares or dollars to be covered by each Award;

(ii) to determine, from time to time, the Fair Market Value of Shares;

(iii) to determine, and to set forth in Award Agreements, the terms and conditions of all Awards, including any applicable exercise or purchase price, the installments and conditions under which an Award shall become vested (which may be based on performance), terminated, expired, cancelled, or replaced, and the circumstances for vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and other restrictions and limitations;

(iv) to approve the forms of Award Agreements and all other documents, notices and certificates in connection therewith which need not be identical either as to type of Award or among Participants;

(v) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement, to determine the meaning of their terms, and to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and procedures relating to the Plan and its administration;

(vi) in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without amending the Plan, to modify, to cancel, or to waive the Company’s rights with respect to any Awards, to adjust or to modify Award Agreements for changes in Applicable Law, and to recognize differences in foreign law, tax policies, or customs; and

(vii) to make all other interpretations and to take all other actions that the Committee may consider necessary or advisable to administer the Plan or to effectuate its purposes.

Subject to Applicable Law and the restrictions set forth in the Plan, the Committee may delegate administrative functions to individuals who are Reporting Persons, officers, or Employees of the Company or its Affiliates.

(d) Deference to Committee Determinations. The Committee shall have the discretion to interpret or construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms in any fashion it deems to be appropriate in its sole discretion, and to make any findings of fact needed in the administration of the Plan or Award Agreements. The Committee’s prior exercise of its discretionary authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The Committee’s interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan, or of any Award or Award Agreement, shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The validity of any such interpretation, construction, decision or finding of fact shall not be given de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration, or in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly made in bad faith or materially affected by fraud.

(e) No Liability; Indemnification. Neither the Board nor any Committee member, nor any Person acting at the direction of the Board or the Committee, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement. The Company and its Affiliates shall pay or reimburse any member of the Committee, as well as any Director, Employee, or Consultant who takes action in connection with the Plan, for all expenses incurred with respect to the Plan, and to the full extent allowable under Applicable Law shall indemnify each and every one of them for any claims, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of their good faith performance of duties on behalf of the Plan. The Company and its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, obtain liability insurance for this purpose.

5.	Eligibility

(a) General Rule. The Committee may grant ISOs only to Employees (including officers who are Employees) of the Company or any Affiliate that is a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code, and may grant all other

Awards to any Eligible Person. A Participant who has been granted an Award may be granted an additional Award or Awards if the Committee shall so determine, if such person is otherwise an Eligible Person and if otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(b) Grant of Awards. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine from the class of Eligible Persons those individuals to whom Awards under the Plan may be granted, the number of Shares subject to each Award, the price (if any) to be paid for the Shares or the Award. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Company and, if required by the Committee, by the Participant. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the Award established by the Committee, and each Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 23, 24, and 25 unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement.

(c) Limits on Awards. No Participant may receive Options that relate to more than 500,000 Shares in any twelve-month period, as adjusted pursuant to Section 13 below during the term of the Plan.

(d) Replacement Awards. Subject to Applicable Laws (including any associated Shareholder approval requirements), the Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms as it deems appropriate, require as a condition of the grant of an Award to a Participant that the Participant surrender for cancellation some or all of the Awards that have previously been granted to the Participant under this Plan or otherwise. An Award that is conditioned upon such surrender may or may not be the same type of Award, may cover the same (or a lesser or greater) number of Shares as such surrendered Award, may have other terms that are determined without regard to the terms or conditions of such surrendered Award, and may contain any other terms that the Committee deems appropriate. In the case of Options, these other terms may not involve an Exercise Price that is lower than the exercise price of the surrendered Option unless the Company’s shareholders approve the grant itself or the program under which the grant is made pursuant to the Plan.

6.	Option Awards

(a) Types; Documentation. Subject to Section 5(a), the Committee may in its discretion grant Options pursuant to Award Agreements that are delivered to Participants. Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as an ISO or a Non-ISO, and the same Award Agreement may grant both types of Options. At the sole discretion of the Committee, any Option may be exercisable, in whole or in part, immediately upon the grant thereof, or only after the occurrence of a specified event, or only in installments, which installments may vary. Options granted under the Plan may contain such terms and provisions not inconsistent with the Plan that the Committee shall deem advisable in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) ISO $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as ISOs first become exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year (under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Non-ISOs. For purposes of determining whether the $100,000 limit is exceeded, the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an ISO shall be determined as of the Grant Date. In reducing the number of Options treated as

ISOs to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted Options shall be reduced first. In the event that Section 422 of the Code is amended to alter the limitation set forth therein, the limitation of this Section 6(b) shall be automatically adjusted accordingly.

(c) Term of Options. Each Award Agreement shall specify a term at the end of which the Option automatically expires, subject to earlier termination provisions contained in Section 6(h) hereof; provided, that, the term of any Option may not exceed ten years from the Grant Date. In the case of an ISO granted to an Employee who is a Ten Percent Holder on the Grant Date, the term of the ISO shall not exceed five years from the Grant Date.

(d) Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and shall be set forth in the Award Agreement, provided that –

(i) if an ISO is granted to an Employee who on the Grant Date is a Ten Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date, and

(ii) for all other Options, such per Share exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date.

(e) Exercise of Option. The times, circumstances and conditions under which an Option shall be exercisable shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled during any such leave approved by the Company.

(f) Minimum Exercise Requirements. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Committee may require in an Award Agreement that an Option be exercised as to a minimum number of Shares, provided that such requirement shall not prevent a Participant from purchasing the full number of Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.

(g) Methods of Exercise. Prior to its expiration pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, and subject to the times, circumstances and conditions for exercise contained in the applicable Award Agreement, each Option may be exercised, in whole or in part (provided that the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares), by delivery of written notice of exercise to the secretary of the Company accompanied by the full exercise price of the Shares being purchased. In the case of an ISO, the Committee shall determine the acceptable methods of payment on the Grant Date and it shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement. The methods of payment that the Committee may in its discretion accept or commit to accept in an Award Agreement include:

(i) cash or check payable to the Company (in U.S. dollars);

(ii) other Shares that (A) are owned by the Participant who is purchasing Shares pursuant to an Option, (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, (C) were not acquired by such Participant pursuant to the exercise of an

Option, unless such Shares have been owned by such Participant for at least six months or such other period as the Committee may determine, (D) are all, at the time of such surrender, free and clear of any and all claims, pledges, liens and encumbrances, or any restrictions which would in any manner restrict the transfer of such shares to or by the Company (other than such restrictions as may have existed prior to an issuance of such Shares by the Company to such Participant), and (E) are duly endorsed for transfer to the Company;

(iii) a cashless exercise program that the Committee may approve, from time to time in its discretion, pursuant to which a Participant may concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to such Participant’s broker or dealer to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the exercise price of the Option plus all applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such exercise, and (B) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such broker or dealer in order to complete the sale; or

(iv) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

The Company shall not be required to deliver Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option until payment of the full exercise price therefore is received by the Company.

(h) Termination of Continuous Service. The Committee may establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement the terms and conditions on which an Option shall remain exercisable, if at all, following termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service. The Committee may waive or modify these provisions at any time. To the extent that a Participant is not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of his or her termination of Continuous Service, or if the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Option) does not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified in the Award Agreement or below (as applicable), the Option shall terminate and the Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan and become available for future Awards. In no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the Option term as set forth in the Award Agreement.

The following provisions shall apply to the extent an Award Agreement does not specify the terms and conditions upon which an Option shall terminate when there is a termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service:

(i) Termination other than Upon Disability or Death or for Cause. In the event of termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service (other than as a result of Participant’s death, disability, retirement or termination for Cause), the Participant shall have the right to exercise an Option at any time within 90 days following such termination to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option at the date of such termination or such earlier date on which the Option expires.

(ii) Disability. In the event of termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her being Disabled, the Participant shall have the right to exercise an Option at any time within one year following such termination to the extent

the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option at the date of such termination or such earlier date on which the Option expires.

(iii) Retirement. In the event of termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service as a result of Participant’s retirement, the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option at any time within three months following such termination to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option at the date of such termination (provided that an ISO exercised more than three months after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service shall to that extent be treated an a Non-ISO) termination or such earlier date on which the Option expires.

(iv) Death. In the event of the death of a Participant during the period of Continuous Service since the Grant Date of an Option, or within thirty days following termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service, the Option may be exercised, at any time within one year following the date of the Participant’s death, by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the right to exercise the Option had vested at the date of death or, if earlier, the date the Participant’s Continuous Service terminated.

(v) Cause. If the Committee determines that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminated due to Cause, the Participant shall immediately forfeit the right to exercise any Option, and it shall be considered immediately null and void.

If there is a Securities and Exchange Commission blackout period that prohibits the buying or selling or Shares during any part of the ten (10) day period before the expiration of any Option based on the termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service (as described above), the period for exercising the Options shall be extended until ten (10) days beyond when such blackout period ends. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or within an Award Agreement, no Option shall ever be exercisable after the expiration date of its original term as set forth in the Award Agreement.

(i) Reverse Vesting. The Committee in its sole discretion may allow a Participant to exercise unvested Non-ISOs, in which case the Shares then issued shall be Restricted Shares having analogous vesting restrictions to the unvested Non-ISOs

(j) Buyout. The Committee may at any time offer to buy out an Option, in exchange for a payment in cash or Shares, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made. In addition, but subject to any Shareholder approval requirement of Applicable Law, if the Fair Market Value for Shares subject to an Option is more than 33% below their exercise price for more than 30 consecutive business days, the Committee may unilaterally terminate and cancel the Option either (i) by paying the Participant, in cash or Share, an amount not less than the Black-Scholes value of the vested portion of the Option, (ii) by irrevocably committing to grant, on any date the Committee designates, a new Award other than an Option, or (iii) by irrevocably committing to grant a new Option, on a designated date more than six months after such termination and cancellation of such Option (but only if the Participant’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such designated date), on substantially the same terms as the cancelled Option, provided

that the per Share exercise price for the new Option shall equal the per Share Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the new grant occurs.

7.	[RESERVED]

8.	Restricted Shares

(a) Grants. The Committee may in its sole discretion grant Restricted Shares to any Eligible Person and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant and that sets forth the number of Restricted Shares, the purchase price for such Restricted Shares (if any), and the terms upon which the Restricted Shares may become vested. The Committee may condition any Award of Restricted Shares to a Participant on receiving from the Participant such further assurances and documents as the Committee may require to enforce the restrictions.

(b) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Committee shall set forth in an Award Agreement granting Restricted Shares, the terms and conditions under which the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Shares will become vested and non-forfeitable. Except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or as the Committee otherwise determines, upon termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service for any other reason, the Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares; provided that if a Participant purchases the Restricted Shares and forfeits them for any reason, the Company shall return the purchase price to the Participant only if and to the extent set forth in an Award Agreement.

(c) Issuance of Restricted Shares Prior to Vesting. The Company shall issue stock certificates that evidence Restricted Shares pending the lapse of applicable restrictions, and that bear a legend making appropriate reference to such restrictions. Except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or the Committee otherwise determines, the Company or a third party that the Company designates shall hold such Restricted Shares and any dividends that accrue with respect to Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 8(e) below.

(d) Issuance of Shares upon Vesting. As soon as practicable after vesting of a Participant’s Restricted Shares and the Participant’s satisfaction of applicable tax withholding requirements, the Company shall release to the Participant, free from the vesting restrictions, one Share for each vested Restricted Share, unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise. No fractional shares shall be distributed, and cash shall be paid in lieu thereof.

(e) Dividends Payable on Vesting. Whenever Shares are released to a Participant or duly-authorized transferee pursuant to Section 8(d) above as a result of the vesting of Restricted Shares, such Participant or duly authorized transferee shall also be entitled to receive (unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement), with respect to each Share released or issued a number of Shares equal to the sum of (i) any stock dividends, which were declared and paid to the holders of Shares between the Grant Date and the date such Share is released from the vesting restrictions of the Restricted Shares, and (ii) a number of Shares equal to the Shares that the Participant could have purchased at Fair Market Value on the payment date of any cash dividends for Shares if the Participant had received such cash dividends with respect to each Restricted Share between its Grant Date and its settlement date.

(f) Section 83(b) Elections. A Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (the “Section 83(b) Election”) with respect to Restricted Shares.

Taxes

(a) General. As a condition to the issuance or distribution of Shares pursuant to the Plan, the Participant (or in the case of the Participant’s death, the person who succeeds to the Participant’s rights) shall make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the Award and the issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares until such obligations are satisfied and may unilaterally withhold Shares for this purpose. If the Committee allows or effectuates the withholding or surrender of Shares to satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding obligations, the Committee shall not allow Shares to be withheld in an amount that exceeds the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes.

(b) Default Rule for Employees. In the absence of any other arrangement, an Employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to withhold or collect from his or her cash compensation an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the date of the exercise of an Award.

(c) Special Rules. In the case of a Participant other than an Employee (or in the case of an Employee where the next payroll payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with respect to any remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to have the Company withhold from the Shares or cash to be issued pursuant to an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below) or cash equal to the minimum applicable tax withholding and employment tax obligations associated with the Award. If such withholding of Shares is not permitted for any reason, the Company shall satisfy any required withholding from cash compensation otherwise payable to the Participant. For purposes of this Section 11, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined under the Applicable Law (the “Tax Date”).

(d) Surrender of Shares. If permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, a Participant may satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding and employment tax obligations associated with an Award by surrendering Shares to the Company (including Shares that would otherwise be issued pursuant to the Award) that have a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the amount required to be withheld. In the case of Shares previously acquired from the Company that are surrendered under this Section 11, such Shares must have been owned by the Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender (or such longer period of time the Company may in its discretion require).

(e) Income Taxes and Deferred Compensation. Participants are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with Awards (including any taxes arising under Section 409A of the Code), and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold any Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code, including Section 409A, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards.

(f) The Committee shall have the sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code, including Section 409A, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards.

12.	Non-Transferability of Awards

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 12, or as otherwise approved by the Committee, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The designation of a beneficiary by a Participant will not constitute a transfer. An Award may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of an Award, only by such holder, the duly-authorized legal representative of a Participant who is Disabled, or a transferee permitted by this Section 12.

(b) Limited Transferability Rights. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 12, the Committee may in its discretion provide in an Award Agreement that an Award in the form of a Non-ISO or Restricted Shares may be transferred, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, either (i) by instrument to the Participant’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), (ii) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust (or other entity) in which the Award is to be passed to the Participant’s designated beneficiaries, or (iii) by gift to charitable institutions. Any transferee of the Participant’s rights shall succeed and be subject to all of the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan. “Immediate Family” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, and shall include adoptive relationships.

13.	Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other Transactions

(a) Changes in Capitalization. The Company is required to equitably adjust the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding Award, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock-split, reverse stock-split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Shares, merger, consolidation, change in form of organization, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under the Plan such alternative consideration (including securities of any surviving entity) as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced. In any case, such substitution of securities

shall not require the consent of any person who is granted Awards pursuant to the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein, or in an Award Agreement, if the Company issues for consideration shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, the issuance shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be required to be made with respect to the number or price of Shares subject to any Award.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company other than as part of a Change in Control, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, subject to the ability of the Committee to exercise any discretion authorized in the case of a Change in Control.

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, Awards outstanding under the Plan shall immediately vest as to the Shares that otherwise would have been unvested and provide that repurchase rights of the Company with respect to Shares issued upon exercise of an Award shall lapse as to the Shares subject to such repurchase rights. In addition, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion and authority, without obtaining the approval or consent of the Company’s shareholders or any Participant with respect to his or her outstanding Awards, take one or more of the following actions:

(i) arrange for or otherwise provide that each outstanding Award shall be assumed or a substantially similar award shall be substituted by a successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”);

(ii) arrange or otherwise provide for the payment of cash or other consideration to Participants in exchange for the satisfaction and cancellation of outstanding Awards;

(iii) terminate upon the consummation of the transaction, provided that the Committee may in its sole discretion provide for vesting of all or some outstanding Awards in full as of a date immediately prior to consummation of the Change of Control. To the extent that an Award is not exercised prior to consummation of a transaction in which the Award is not being assumed or substituted, such Award shall terminate upon such consummation; or

(iv) make such other modifications, adjustments or amendments to outstanding Awards or this Plan as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate, subject however to the terms of Section 15(a) below.

Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event a Participant holding an Award assumed or substituted by the Successor Corporation in a Change in Control is involuntarily terminated by the Successor Corporation in connection with, or within 12 months (or other period either set forth in an Award Agreement, or as increased thereafter by the Committee to a period longer than 12 months) following consummation of, the Change in Control, then any assumed or substituted Award held by the terminated Participant at the time of termination shall accelerate and become fully vested (and exercisable in full in the case of Options, and any repurchase right applicable to any Shares shall lapse in full, unless an Award Agreement provides for a more restrictive acceleration or vesting schedule or more

restrictive limitations on the lapse of repurchase rights or otherwise places additional restrictions, limitations and conditions on an Award. The acceleration of vesting and lapse of repurchase rights provided for in this Section 13 shall occur immediately prior to the effective date of the Participant’s termination, unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise.

(d) Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the Company’s shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee may, in its discretion, appropriately adjust the price per Share covered by each outstanding Award to reflect the effect of such distribution.

14.	Time of Granting Awards.

The date of grant (“Grant Date”) of an Award shall be the date on which the Committee makes the determination granting such Award or such other date as is determined by the Committee, provided that in the case of an ISO, the Grant Date shall be the later of the date on which the Committee makes the determination granting such ISO or the date of commencement of the Participant’s employment relationship with the Company.

15.	Modification of Awards and Substitution of Options.

(a) Modification, Extension, and Renewal of Awards. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify an Award to accelerate the rate at which an Option may be exercised (including without limitation permitting an Option to be exercised in full without regard to the installment or vesting provisions of the applicable Award Agreement or whether the Option is at the time exercisable, to the extent it has not previously been exercised), to accelerate the vesting of any Award, to extend or renew outstanding Awards or to accept the cancellation of outstanding Awards to the extent not previously exercised. However, the Committee may not cancel an outstanding Option whose exercise price is greater than Fair Market Value at the time of cancellation for the purpose of reissuing the Option to the Participant at a lower exercise price or granting a replacement award of a different type. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, no modification of an outstanding Award shall materially and adversely affect such Participant’s rights thereunder (with such an affect being presumed to arise from a modification that would trigger a violation of Section 409A of the Code), unless either (i) the Participant provides written consent, or (ii) before a Change in Control, the Committee determines in good faith that the modification is not materially adverse to the Participant. Furthermore, neither the Company nor the Committee shall, without shareholder approval, allow for a “repricing” within the meaning of federal securities laws applicable to proxy statement disclosures.

(b) Substitution of Options. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions or limits under the Plan, in the event the Company or an Affiliate acquires (whether by purchase, merger or otherwise) all or substantially all of outstanding capital stock or assets of another corporation or in the event of any reorganization or other transaction qualifying under Section 424 of the Code, the Committee may, in accordance with the provisions of that Section, substitute Options for options under the plan of the acquired company provided (i) the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to an option immediately after the substitution over the aggregate option price of such shares is not more than the similar excess immediately before

such substitution and (ii) the new option does not give persons additional benefits, including any extension of the exercise period.

16.	Term of Plan.

The Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from its effective date as determined under Section 20 below, unless the Plan is sooner terminated under Section 17 below.

17.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Authority to Amend or Terminate. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Board may from time to time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan.

(b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect Awards already granted (with such an affect being presumed to arise from a modification that would trigger a violation of Section 409A of the Code) unless either it relates to an adjustment pursuant to Section 13 or modification pursuant to Section 15(a) above, or it is otherwise mutually agreed between the Participant and the Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend the Plan to eliminate provisions which are no longer necessary as a result of changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof.

18.	Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or delivery would comply with Applicable Law, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel.

19.	Reservation of Shares.

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

20.	Effective Date.

This Plan shall become effective on the date which it has received approval by a vote of a majority of the votes cast at a duly held meeting of the Company’s shareholders (or by such other shareholder vote that the Administrator determines to be sufficient for the issuance of Shares or stock options according to the Company’s governing documents and applicable state law).

21.	Controlling Law.

All disputes relating to or arising from the Plan shall be governed by the internal substantive laws (and not the laws of conflicts of laws) of the State of New York, to the extent not preempted by United States federal law. If any provision of this Plan is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be fully effective.

22.	Laws And Regulations.

(a) U.S. Securities Laws. This Plan, the grant of Awards, and the exercise of Options under this Plan, and the obligation of the Company to sell or deliver any of its securities (including, without limitation, Options and Restricted Shares) under this Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Law. In the event that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any applicable state securities laws prior to the delivery of such Shares, the Company may require, as a condition to the issuance thereof, that the persons to whom Shares are to be issued represent and warrant in writing to the Company that such Shares are being acquired by him or her for investment for his or her own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Act, and a legend to that effect may be placed on the certificates representing the Shares.

(b) Other Jurisdictions. To facilitate the making of any grant of an Award under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Affiliate outside of the United States of America as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. The Company may adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of this Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures of particular countries. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, taxes, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with the customs and requirements of particular countries. The Company may adopt sub-plans and establish escrow accounts and trusts as may be appropriate or applicable to particular locations and countries.

23.	No Shareholder Rights.

Neither a Participant nor any transferee of a Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares underlying any Award until the date of issuance of a share certificate to a Participant or a transferee of a Participant for such Shares in accordance with the Company’s governing instruments and Applicable Law. Prior to the issuance of Shares pursuant to an Award, a Participant shall not have the right to vote or to receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Award, notwithstanding its exercise in the case of Options. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right that is determined based on a record date prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan.

24.	No Employment Rights.

The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right to continue an employment, service or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it affect in any way a Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment, service, or consulting relationship at any time, with or without Cause. By accepting any Award under this Plan a Participant confirms his or her at-will status (except as otherwise provided in a written employment or consulting agreement signed by an officer of the Company or an authorized designee of an officer of the Company) and that such relationship only can be changed by a written agreement signed by an officer of the Company or an authorized designee of an officer of the Company.

25.	Termination, Rescission and Recapture of Awards.

(a) Each Award under the Plan is intended to align the Participant’s long-term interest with those of the Company. If the Participant engages in certain activities discussed below, either during employment or after employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Participant is acting contrary to the long-term interests of the Company. Accordingly, but only to the extent expressly provided in an Award Agreement, the Company may terminate any outstanding, unexercised, unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Awards (“Termination”), rescind any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to the Award (“Rescission”), or recapture any Common Stock (whether restricted or unrestricted) or proceeds from the Participant’s sale of Shares issued pursuant to the Award (“Recapture”), if the Participant does not comply with the conditions of subsections (b) and (c) hereof (collectively, the “Conditions”).

(b) A Participant shall not, without the Company’s prior written authorization, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use in other than the Company’s business, any proprietary or confidential information or material, as those or other similar terms are used in any applicable patent, confidentiality, inventions, secrecy, or other agreement between the Participant and the Company with regard to any such proprietary or confidential information or material.

(c) Pursuant to any agreement between the Participant and the Company with regard to intellectual property (including but not limited to patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, inventions, developments, improvements, proprietary information, confidential business and personnel information), a Participant shall promptly disclose and assign to the Company or its designee all right, title, and interest in such intellectual property, and shall take all reasonable steps necessary to enable the Company to secure all right, title and interest in such intellectual property in the United States and in any foreign country.

(d) Upon exercise, payment, or delivery of cash or Common Stock pursuant to an Award, the Participant shall certify on a form acceptable to the Company that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and, if a severance of Continuous Service has occurred for any reason, shall state the name and address of the Participant’s then-current employer or any entity for which the Participant performs business services and the Participant’s title, and shall identify any organization or business in which the Participant owns a greater-than-five-percent equity interest.

(e) If the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that (i) a Participant has violated any of the Conditions or (ii) during his or her Continuous Service, or within one (1) year after his or her termination for any reason, a Participant (a) has rendered services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engaged in or assisted, any organization or business that, in the judgment of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, is or is working to become competitive with the Company; (b) has solicited any non-administrative employee of the Company to terminate employment with the Company; or (c) has engaged in activities which are materially prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company, including any breaches of fiduciary duty or the duty of loyalty, then the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture with respect to any or all of the Participant’s relevant Awards, Shares, and the proceeds thereof.

(f) Within ten days after receiving notice from the Company of any such activity described in Section 25(e) above, the Participant shall deliver to the Company the Shares acquired pursuant to the Award, or, if Participant has sold the Shares, the gain realized, or payment received as a result of the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery; provided, that if the Participant returns Shares that the Participant purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option (or the gains realized from the sale of such Common Stock), the Company shall promptly refund the exercise price, without earnings, that the Participant paid for the Shares. Any payment by the Participant to the Company pursuant to this Section 21 shall be made either in cash or by returning to the Company the number of Shares that the Participant received in connection with the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery. It shall not be a basis for Termination, Rescission or Recapture if after termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service, the Participant purchases, as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of such an organization or business, so long as (i) such stock or other securities are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and (ii) such investment does not represent more than a five percent (5%) equity interest in the organization or business.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Company has sole and absolute discretion not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by a particular Participant or Award shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any other act or Participant or Award. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to impose obligations on the Participant to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of employment that does not violate subsections (b) or (c) of this Section, other than any obligations that are part of any separate agreement between the Company and the Participant or that arise under applicable law.

(h) All administrative and discretionary authority given to the Company under this Section shall be exercised by the most senior human resources executive of the Company or such other person or committee (including without limitation the Committee) as the Committee may designate from time to time.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, if any provision of this Section is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and shall automatically be deemed

amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under Applicable Law. Furthermore, if any provision of this Section is illegal under any Applicable Law, such provision shall be null and void to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to any contrary terms set forth in any Award Agreement, this Section shall not be applicable: (i) to any Participant who is not, on the Award Date, an Employee of the Company or its Affiliates; and (ii) to any Participant from and after his or her termination of Continuous Service after a Change in Control.

26. Recoupment of Awards. Unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion, without obtaining the approval or consent of the Company’s shareholders or any Participant with respect to his or her outstanding Awards, require that each Participant agrees to reimburse the Company for all or any portion of any Awards granted under this Plan (“Reimbursement”), or the Committee may require the Termination or Rescission of, or the Recapture associated with, any Award, if—

(a) the granting, vesting, or payment of such Award was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material financial restatement;

(b) in the Committee’s view the Participant engaged in fraud or misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for a material financial restatement by the Company or any Affiliate; and

In each instance, the Committee will, to the extent practicable and allowable under Applicable Laws, require Reimbursement, Termination or Rescission of, or Recapture relating to, any such Award granted to a Participant, including reimbursement for any gains realized on the exercise of Options attributable to such Awards, plus a reasonable rate of interest, effecting the cancellation of Restricted Shares and outstanding Options provided that the Company will not seek Reimbursement, Termination or Rescission of, or Recapture relating to, any such Awards that were paid or vested more than three years prior to the date the applicable restatement is disclosed.

The Committee shall in its discretion determine whether or not a Participant is being terminated for Cause. The Committee’s determination shall, unless arbitrary and capricious, be final and binding on the Participant, the Company, and all other affected persons.

In applying the preceding sentence, (i) securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates by or for the Person shall not be taken into account, and (ii) an agreement to vote securities shall be disregarded unless its ultimate purpose is to cause what would otherwise be Change of Control, as reasonably determined by the Board.

(iii) Merger. The Company consummates a merger, or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation unless: (a) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation would continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; and (b) no Person (other than Persons who are Employees at any time more than one year before a transaction) becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities.

“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

“Committee” means one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board appointed by the Board to administer the Plan in accordance with Section 4 above.

With respect to any decision relating to a Reporting Person, the Committee shall consist of two or more Directors who are disinterested within the meaning of Rule 16b-3.

“Disabled” means a condition under which a Participant --

(a) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or

(b) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, received income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident or health plan covering employees of the Company.
