eXegenics Responds to Meyers-Weiss Claim

DALLAS, December 5, 2003 — eXegenics Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEG) said today it has received from the Meyers-Weiss Group copies of consents purporting to represent a majority of the outstanding shares of eXegenics voting stock, which would be sufficient to elect a dissident slate of directors. eXegenics said that it is engaging IVS Associates, Inc., independent proxy inspectors, to provide an independent tabulation of the consents and revocations and to report on the results as soon as possible. eXegenics said it would have further comment after it reviews the report from IVS.
