ATTACHMENT A
Reporting Person: Donald G. Drapkin
Issuer: SIGA Technologies, Inc. (SIGA)
Report: Form 4 for September 2001
The Reporting Person holds warrants that each provide that, with certain
limited exceptions, it is not exercisable if, as a result of such exercise,
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Person and his affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be
deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of
such warrants) would exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
As a result of such restrictions and other securities which the Reporting
Person may be deemed beneficially to own as of September 30, 2001 (which
include securities with regard to which the Reporting Person has no pecuniary
interest, and which are therefore not disclosed in this Form 4), the Reporting
Person's warrants are not presently exercisable. Nonetheless, the Reporting
Person may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in such warrants and in the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof.
