(2)	Prior to joining the CytRx Board of Directors, Eric Selter was given as a gift by his father, Marvin Selter, who was at the time a director on the Board, options totalling 160,713 shares, which equals half of the amount of options granted to Marvin Selter as his equity compensation for service as a director.
