On January 26, 2012, Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") entered into a placement agency agreement (the "Placement Agency Agreement"), relating to a registered direct offering by the Company of up to 2,463,538 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to which Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. served as the exclusive placement agent (the "Placement Agent"). The sale of the Shares is being made pursuant to subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with each of the investors signatory thereto. The investors have agreed to purchase the Shares for a price of $4.50 per Share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $11.1 million before deducting the Placement Agent's fees and estimated offering expenses.

Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the placement agent shall receive an aggregate fee of $665,155 and reimbursement of actual legal fees in an amount not in excess of $50,000 in connection with the offering.

The closing of the sale and issuance of the Shares is expected to take place on or about January 31, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Placement Agent has no commitment to purchase any of the Shares and is acting only as an agent in obtaining indications of interest for the Shares from investors who are purchasing the Shares directly from the Company. The Placement Agency Agreement requires the Company to indemnify the Placement Agent and certain of its affiliates against certain liabilities or to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make because of any of such liabilities.
