Special Meeting of Stockholders

         A Special  Meeting  of the  Stockholders  (the  "Special  Meeting")  of
Cytogen  Corporation  (the  "Company") was held on October 25, 2002.  There were
present at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy,  stockholders  holding an
aggregate of 82,108,998  shares of common stock,  $0.01 par value per share (the
"Common  Stock")  out of a total  number of  86,779,852  shares of Common  Stock
issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special  Meeting.  There was,
therefore,  a quorum  present and competent to transact  business at the Special
Meeting.

         The results of the votes taken at the Special  Meeting  with respect to
such matters properly before the Special Meeting were as follows:

(i)      A  proposal  to  approve  an  amendment  to  the   Company's   Restated
         Certificate  of  Incorporation,  as amended,  to effect a reverse stock
         split of the Company's Common Stock and to grant the Company's Board of
         Directors the authority,  in its sole discretion,  to set the ratio for
         the reverse  stock split at up to  one-for-ten,  or not to complete the
         reverse stock split:

                         FOR              AGAINST          WITHHELD
                         ---              -------          --------

                      75,994,122         5,915,657         199,219


(ii)     A proposal to approve an  amendment  to the  Company's  Certificate  of
         Incorporation  to decrease  the number of  authorized  shares of Common
         Stock  from   250,000,000  to  a  reduced  number  of  shares  that  is
         proportionate to the reduction in outstanding shares of Common Stock as
         a result of the  reverse  stock  split,  subject to  completion  of the
         reverse stock split:

                          FOR             AGAINST          WITHHELD
                          ---             -------          --------

                      76,656,806         5,212,048         240,144


         The stockholders of the Company, therefore, duly passed both proposals.

Board of  Director's  Approval of Reverse  Stock Split and Amendment to Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended

         Pursuant  to the  authority  granted to it by the  stockholders  of the
Company at the  Special  Meeting,  the Board of  Directors  of the  Company,  on
October 25, 2002, approved resolutions providing for a one-for-ten reverse stock
split (the "Reverse Split") of all outstanding,  issued and authorized shares of
the Company's  Common Stock. The record date for determining the Common Stock to
be affected  by the Reverse  Split shall be the close of business on October 25,
2002.


         Additionally,  on October 25, 2002,  the Company filed a Certificate of
Amendment to Restated  Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended,  (the "Charter
Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,  to effect the
Reverse Split. The Charter Amendment provides that the total number of shares of
all classes of capital stock which the Company shall have  authority to issue is
Thirty Million Four Hundred Thousand  (30,400,000)  shares, of which Twenty Five
Million  (25,000,000)  shall be shares of Common  Stock,  and Five  Million Four
Hundred Thousand (5,400,000) shall be shares of Preferred Stock.

         On October 25, 2002, the Company also issued a press release announcing
the results of the votes taken at the Special Meeting, as well as the subsequent
approval of the Reverse Split by the Board of Directors.  The Charter  Amendment
and such press  release are  attached  hereto as Exhibit  3.1 and Exhibit  99.1,
respectively,  and each is  incorporated  herein  by  reference.  The  foregoing
description of each of the Charter Amendment and such press release is qualified
in its entirety by reference to each such respective document.
