GUIDED THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES 1:800 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND
ELIMINATION OF “TOXIC” CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FROM ITS BALANCE SHEET

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: GTHP) today announced a one-for-eight
hundred (1:800) reverse split of its issued and outstanding common
stock. The reverse stock split will be implemented when the market opens
on Monday, November 7, 2016 and Guided’s common stock will begin trading
on a split-adjusted basis at that time, with a “D” temporarily appended
to the end of its ticker symbol for 20 business days to signify the
split.

In addition, on November 2, 2016, Guided completed the last of a series
of agreements with various holders of its convertible debt and equity
securities to effectively eliminate the ability of those holders to
convert their securities into common stock using a formula that relies
on fluctuating market prices to determine the number of shares of common
stock to be issued on conversion. Because these provisions can lead to
dramatic stock price reductions and corresponding negative effects on
stockholders, these types of securities have colloquially been called
“toxic” convertibles. Going forward, all holders of Guided securities
with such provisions have either exchanged, or agreed to exchange, those
securities for securities with fixed-conversion formulas, which will
effectively limit the reduction in earnings per share and proportional
ownership that occurs when holders of convertible securities convert
those securities into common stock.

“This exchange was the final piece in having all preferred stock and
debt to be converted at a fixed price. This event marks an important
milestone in the Company’s ability to fix its capital structure,” said
Gene Cartwright, Guided Therapeutics CEO and President.

The reverse stock split affects all issued and outstanding shares of
Guided’s common stock, as well as shares of common stock underlying
stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock outstanding
immediately prior to the reverse stock split. Guided’s stockholders
granted authority to the Board of Directors to effect the reverse stock
split at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders held on September 23,
2016.

Upon the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding
common stock is automatically converted into 1 share of common stock.
Fractional shares are rounded up to a full share. The reverse stock
split does not impact any stockholder’s percentage ownership or voting
power, except for minimal effects resulting from the treatment of
fractional shares. Following the reverse stock split, the number of
outstanding shares of common stock is reduced by a factor of 800. There
is no change in the number of authorized shares of common stock that
Guided has authority to issue.

Computershare Inc. is acting as exchange agent for the reverse stock
split. Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or through a
bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in

Beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker or nominee for more
information. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates,
Computershare will send instructions for exchanging those certificates
for shares held in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either
case representing the post-split number of shares. Computershare can be
