To our Shareholders:

      After the proxy materials prepared on behalf of the Board of
Directors were submitted for printing, two new events regarding IGI, Inc.
(the "Company") occurred that we wish to bring to your attention.

      On April 16, 2001, Robert E. McDaniel submitted his resignation as
Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Company.  Mr. McDaniel will
provide consulting services to the Company and will remain as a nominee to
serve on the Company's Board of Directors.

      The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has designated John
Ambrose, President, to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer, pending
action by the full Board of Directors on a permanent Chief Executive
Officer.  The Board is expected to consider the matter following the annual
meeting of shareholders on May 16, 2001.

      Separately, as is described in the accompanying Proxy Statement,
American Capital Strategies, Ltd. ("ACS") is the holder of subordinated
notes and warrants for the purchase of Company common stock.  The
agreements relating to these notes and warrants currently allow ACS to
designate one person as a nominee to serve on the Company's Board of
Directors.  ACS has now made such a designation, and the Company intends to
implement it by action of the Board of Directors after the annual meeting
of shareholders.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/ John Ambrose

                                    John Ambrose
                                    President
