    "We are pleased to have attracted a seasoned and accomplished leader of Ashok's caliber to lead the critical legal function at Rafael Holdings as we prepare for the top line data readout of the Phase 3 clinical trial for Rafael Pharmaceuticals' lead investigational agent, CPI-613®, in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer, and if positive, prepare for an NDA submission. We are continuing to build a highly experienced management team with the skillset necessary to advance the ongoing and planned clinical trial programs across multiple indications and the early-stage pipeline," said Ameet Mallik, Chief Executive Officer of Rafael Holdings, Inc.  "Ashok brings invaluable expertise which can accelerate our ability to build a high growth, fully integrated cancer metabolism therapeutics company focused on improving and extending the lives of patients."

    Ashok Marin has more than two decades of extensive life sciences experience with responsibilities across multiple legal and regulatory and commercial functions.

Ashok also has served in various legal and compliance leadership roles at Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, GE Healthcare, Becton, Dickinson and Company, LipoScience and Sanofi. Ashok is a graduate of Fordham College (summa cum laude) and Fordham University School of Law. He began his legal career as an Associate in the Corporate group of the New York office of the global law firm Paul Hastings, LLP, where he focused on a variety of equity and debt offerings, securitizations, derivatives, and credit facilities, including several transactions on behalf of healthcare clients.

    "It is a true pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Ameet and the Rafael Holdings executive management team as we advance the novel metabolic-based therapeutic approach to fighting cancer and addressing unmet patient needs, and evolve to a fully integrated cancer therapeutics company," said Ashok Marin, Chief Legal Officer.

    Rafael Holdings, Inc., announced today that it made a grant to Ashok Marin of options to purchase 34,066 shares of Class B common stock of the Company with an exercise price equal to $37.61, the closing price of the Class B common stock on September 23, 2021, the trading day prior to the grant on September 24, 2021.

    The options shall vest with respect to 25% of the underlying shares on September 24, 2022, and, with respect to an additional 2.0833% of the underlying shares, on each monthly anniversary of September 24, 2022, such that all equity shall vest by September 24, 2025.   

    The options were granted under Rafael's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended to create an additional pool of 34,066 shares of Rafael's Class B common stock to be used exclusively for the grant of inducement awards in compliance with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08 ("Rule 303A.08").  

    The option grant was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and was offered as a material inducement to Mr. Marin's hiring as Chief Legal Officer of the Company in reliance on the employment inducement exemption under Rule 303A.08. Mr. Marin joined the Company on September 20, 2021.

    The option grant described above will be subject to the terms of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated.
