February 26, 2013

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

Our special meeting of stockholders, scheduled for March 15, 2013, is fast approaching and I am writing to remind you to vote “FOR” the merger and other matters described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that we sent to you on or about January 25, 2013. YOUR VOTE MATTERS!

We strongly encourage you to vote your shares today. The BioSante board of directors unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement between BioSante and ANIP Acquisition Company d/b/a ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and believes that the merger of the two companies will create more value than BioSante could achieve individually. The combined company will be a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals. The BioSante board of directors unanimously recommends that BioSante stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and the issuance of shares of BioSante common stock in the merger, and “FOR” the other merger related proposals.

I encourage you to review the proposals listed on the proxy card included with this letter and to vote your shares in person, by telephone or over the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy card. You also can vote by completing and returning the proxy card via U.S. mail using the enclosed postage-paid envelope. More detailed information about each of the proposals is included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that we sent to you. The joint proxy statement/prospectus also can be found online at www.proxyvote.com.

If you need assistance in voting your shares or have questions regarding the special meeting, please contact The BioSante Proxy Information Line toll-free at (800) 357-9167 or AST Phoenix Advisors at (877) 478-5038.

Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that you cast your vote and make your voice heard on these important matters regarding our company.

Sincerely,

Stephen M. Simes

Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
