Date:12/4/2008

SEATTLE, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("CTI" or the "Company") (Nasdaq and MTA: CTIC) today announced that that its Board of Directors has authorized a "Modified Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase a portion or all of five series of Convertible Notes (the "Notes") as follows:

    -- 4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010
    -- 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011
    -- 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2010
    -- 7.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011
    -- 9% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012

The Company currently expects to utilize up to $10 million for the tender, from cash currently on hand, cash expected to be received in connection with the closing of the recent collaboration with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, and/or cash to be received in connection with a second closing of a sale of notes to a single institutional investor. Currently, there is an aggregate of $124 million of Notes outstanding. The tender offer is expected to commence in the near future.

Under the "Modified Dutch Auction" procedure, CTI would offer to purchase a portion or all of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a price currently expected to be no greater than $80 or less than $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
