Other Events On March 5, 2002, Miravant Medical Technologies and Pharmacia Corporation entered into a Contract Modification and Termination Agreement pursuant to which we regained all of the rights and related assets to our lead drug candidate, SnET2, and were able to restructure our outstanding debt to Pharmacia. A copy of the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated in this report by reference. Terminated Agreements Under the terms of the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement, the following agreements and side letters between Miravant and Pharmacia have been terminated: * Amended and Restated Ophthalmology Development and License Agreement dated as of February 18, 1999; * Restated and Amended Development and License Agreement dated June 8, 1998 (SnET2 license agreement for use in the fields of oncology and urology); * SnET2 Device Supply Agreement dated July 1, 1995 (Laser and light delivery supply agreement); * Product Supply Agreement dated July 1, 1995 (SnET2 drug supply agreement); * SnET2 Device Supply Agreement for Ophthalmology dated December 20, 1996 (Iridex laser supply agreement); * Cardiovascular SnET2 Right of First Negotiation Side Letter dated January 15, 1999; * Ophthalmology Side Letter dated as of May 24, 2000; * Iridex Side Letter dated May 31, 2000; * Manufacturing Facility Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 24, 2001(Purchase of SnET2 manufacturing equipment); * Site Access License Agreement dated as of May 31, 2001; and * Sublease Assignment Agreement dated as of May 24, 2001. With the termination of each of the above noted agreements, all ownership of the rights, data and assets related to SnET2 and the Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of wet, age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, will revert back to us. The rights transferred back to us include the ophthalmology Investigational New Drug application, or IND, and the related filings, data and reports and the ability to license the rights to SnET2. The assets will include the lasers utilized in the Phase III clinical trials, the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, manufacturing equipment, all of the API inventory sold to Pharmacia in 2001and 2002 and the finished dose formulation, or FDF, inventory. With the termination of the Sublease Assignment Agreement, we will reassume the lease obligations and related property taxes for our API manufacturing facility. The lease agreement expires in August 2006 and currently has a base rent of approximately $26,000 per month. As a condition of the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement, Pharmacia has agreed to release to us $880,000 held in an asset purchase escrow account, which was originally scheduled for release in June 2002. These funds represent the purchase price that Pharmacia paid under the Manufacturing Facility Asset Purchase Agreement for the purchase of our API manufacturing equipment in May 2001. In addition to receiving back all of the API inventory sold to Pharmacia in 2001, we will also receive a payment of approximately $450,000 for the costs of the in-process and finished API inventory manufactured through January 23, 2002 and will maintain the rights to the API inventory. Modified Agreements The Contract Modification and Termination Agreement also modifies the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 24, 2001, or the 2001 Credit Agreement. The terms of the modified 2001 Credit Agreement are: * The outstanding debt that we owe to Pharmacia of approximately $26.8 million, will be reduced to $10.0 million. We will be required to make a payment of $5.0 million plus accrued interest on each of March 4, 2003 and June 4, 2004. Interest on the debt will accrue at the prime rate, which was 4.75% at March 5, 2004; * We terminated our right to receive a $3.2 million loan that was available under the 2001 Credit Agreement. Additionally, as Pharmacia has determined that they will not file a New Drug Application for the SnET2 PhotoPoint PDT for AMD and the Phase III clinical trial data did not meet certain clinical statistical standards as defined by the clinical trial protocols, we will not receive access to an additional $10.0 million loan as provided for under the 2001 Credit Agreement; and * We will continue to be subject to certain covenants as well as the representations and warranties made in the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement. Agreements Not Affected Aside from the changes made under the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement, there were no changes made to the Warrant Agreement, the Equity Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with Pharmacia. In connection with the 2001 Credit Agreement, we granted Pharmacia warrants to purchase a total of 360,000 shares of our Common Stock. The exercise prices and expiration dates are as follows: 120,000 shares at an exercise price of $11.87 per share expiring May 5, 2004, 120,000 shares at an exercise price of $14.83 per share expiring November 12, 2004 and 120,000 shares at an exercise price of $20.62 per share expiring May 23, 2005. Pharmacia will retain all of its rights under the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement. Through the Equity Investment Agreement, Pharmacia purchased 1,136,533 shares of our Common Stock at $16.71 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $19.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the original SnET2 license agreement in 1995, Pharmacia received 725,001 shares of our Common Stock. Under the terms of the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement, Pharmacia will retain all the shares of Common Stock purchased from us, and all of the rights that the ownership of the shares entitles. Accounting Treatment In accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings", we will permanently reduce the debt due to Pharmacia to the total future cash payments of the debt, including amounts designated as interest and principal. The total future cash payments, at the current prime rate, are estimated to be $10.8 million. The difference between the total debt outstanding of $25.9 million (net of the unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $900,000) and the total future cash payments of the restructured debt of $10.8 million will be recorded as an increase to stockholders' equity due to Pharmacia being a greater than 10% shareholder in Miravant. Therefore, we will record a $15.1 million increase to stockholders' equity in the first quarter of 2002. Under the terms of the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement will transfer ownership of several assets back to us, including the lasers utilized in the Phase III AMD clinical trials, the API and FDF inventories and the API manufacturing equipment used to manufacture SnET2. The API manufacturing equipment will be recorded at its net carrying value prior to sale to Pharmacia, which was approximately $200,000. Under generally accepted accounting principles, there will not be any value recorded on the balance sheet for the lasers, and the API and FDF inventory. Item 7.

Each of the parties acknowledges that it is familiar with the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and expressly agrees that the waivers and releases set forth above constitute a waiver and release of any rights or benefits that may arise thereunder, to the full extent that such rights or benefits may be waived. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Each of the parties expressly acknowledges that the effect and import of this provision has been fully explained by such party's own counsel and that this Agreement is entered into knowingly and voluntarily, without duress or undue influence, in consideration for the promises, obligations and rights set forth herein. 9. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 10. Each and every right granted to the Pharmacia Entities and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates hereunder or under any other document delivered in connection herewith, or allowed to such parties by law or equity, shall be cumulative and not exclusive and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of any such party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by any such party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 11. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any Replacement Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or in any other Replacement Note shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 12. Each party acknowledges that one party will have no adequate remedy at law if the other party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. In such event, each party agrees that the other party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to specific performance of this Agreement and agrees to take no action to prevent the other party's seeking such specific performance as a remedy. 13. The parties hereto waive compliance with the requirements of the bulk sales law of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to Miravant. 14. The parties hereto agree that they will advise and confer with each other prior to the public issuance of any reports, statements or releases pertaining to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the implementation hereof, and obtain the written consent of the other party hereto for all such publicly disseminated information issued by such party prior to the close of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no party hereto will disseminate publicly nor deliver to any third party any press release or other significant written statement that references the name of any other party hereto or any of its Affiliates or that could reflect negatively on any other party hereto without the specific, written consent of such other party, except as required by law (as advised in writing by counsel). 15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be fully executed as of the date first above written.

Philpott Title: Chief Financial Officer C-2 EXHIBIT C Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Borrower to be Delivered at the Effective Time [Effective Date] Pharmacia Corporation 100 Route 206 North Peapack, New Jersey 07977 Ladies and Gentlemen: In connection with the execution and delivery of the Contract Modification and Termination Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2002 (the "Agreement"), by and between Pharmacia AB, a Swedish corporation ("Pharmacia AB"), Pharmacia & Upjohn Company, a Delaware corporation ("P&U Co."), Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("P&U Inc."), Pharmacia Italia, S.p.A. an Italian corporation ("P&U S.p.A.") and Miravant Medical Technologies, a Delaware corporation. ("Miravant"), and the execution and delivery today of the promissory notes contemplated by the Agreement (the "Replacement Notes" and, collectively with the Agreement, the "Replacement Documents"), we, as counsel for Miravant, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that: (1) Miravant has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. (2) Each of the Replacement Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and each of the Replacement Documents constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Miravant enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. With your approval, we have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of Miravant and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that each of the Replacement Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than Miravant and its affiliates, and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not independently verified. This letter is delivered by us as counsel for Miravant to you, and is solely for your benefit. Very truly yours, /s/ Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP D-1 EXHIBIT D Transfer of IND 49,648 from Pharmacia to Miravant Pharmacia AB and P&U Co. Responsibilities: 1.

Pharmacia AB and P&U Co. will, however, take such actions as are reasonably necessary to assist Miravant in obtaining access to such proprietary or confidential information. 10.

EX-99 4 pressrelease.txt EXHIBIT 99 - MIRAVANT PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99 - Miravant Press Release MIRAVANT REGAINS RIGHTS TO PHOTOPOINT SnET2 SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 05, 2002 - Miravant Medical Technologies (Nasdaq:MRVT) announced today that it has terminated certain contractual relationships with Pharmacia Corporation, including the Ophthalmology Development and License Agreement and other related contracts for proprietary drug SnET2. Miravant regained the rights to all assets related to the SnET2 phase III clinical trials for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including the full clinical data package. In addition, Miravant restructured the credit agreement in which Pharmacia reduced the outstanding debt from approximately $27 million to $10 million. In connection with the debt reduction, Miravant will re-assume lease obligations for the SnET2 manufacturing facility and will forego the remaining $3.2 million line-of-credit. Gary S. Kledzik, Ph.D., chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "Now that we're back in control of the drug SnET2, we're excited about gaining access to all clinical data in order to conduct a thorough, in-depth analysis of the results. Ophthalmology continues to be our primary focus, and we will aggressively pursue all options available to us for SnET2 and our new PhotoPoint(tm) drug compounds." The SnET2 assets returned to Miravant include the Investigational New Drug (IND) application, preclinical and clinical data, inventories of active pharmaceutical ingredient and finished dose formulation, drug manufacturing rights, manufacturing equipment and clinical laser devices. Full details of the agreements are contained in Miravant's Form 8-K to be filed this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Miravant Medical Technologies specializes in both pharmaceuticals and devices for photoselective medicine. The company is developing its proprietary PhotoPoint photodynamic therapy (PDT) in ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiovascular disease and oncology. Miravant Cardiovascular, Inc. is investigating intravascular PhotoPoint PDT for the treatment of angioplasty-related restenosis and atherosclerosis. The statements above by Dr. Kledzik regarding the company conducting a thorough analysis of clinical data and aggressively pursuing all options in ophthalmology for SnET2 and new PhotoPoint drug compounds, are forward-looking and relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results may differ materially from those described in these statements. For instance, the occurrence of one or more of the following may cause our results to differ from our plans: the company's operating capital may not be sufficient to continue operations and/or sustain its current development programs; the company may not complete a thorough analysis of SnET2 phase III data; the company may decide not to or be unable to further develop SnET2 for AMD or any other indication; and/or the company may decide not to or be unable to further develop its new PhotoPoint drug compounds. For a discussion of additional important risk factors that may cause our results to differ from those described above, please to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and other quarterly and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
