LADDCAP IS PLEASED THAT ISS HAS RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES IN DELCATH’S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

New York, September 13, 2006 - Laddcap Value Partners LP, Delcath Systems, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: DCTH) largest stockholder, is pleased that Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has recommended that Delcath stockholders vote to remove current Delcath directors Mark Corigliano and Victor Nevins, and to replace them with two directors from Laddcap’s slate. Laddcap asks stockholders to continue to support effective change by submitting their BLUE Consent Cards.

Laddcap has stated unequivocally, both before and after the commencement of its Consent Solicitation, that it wants substantive changes in corporate governance at Delcath. As evidence by today’s report, ISS is in agreement having stated “Given Delcath’s corporate governance issues, we believe that the company could benefit from greater oversight by inclusion of independent directors.”

“Laddcap wants what is best for Delcath’s stockholders. We want to enhance the FDA approval process for the Delcath device, which in turn will maximize value for all stockholders, not just the interests of an entrenched Board who, in our opinion, has compensated itself handsomely. Ultimately, we want a Board and a company that will act with the urgency needed to bring Delcath’s great technology to market,” stated Robert B. Ladd, Board nominee.

 
PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN YOUR BLUE CONSENT CARD
