To Our Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting of stockholders of PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (“PharmaCyte”) to be held at 11:00 a.m. EST on Monday, April 29, 2024.

We have decided to hold this year’s annual meeting virtually via live audio webcast on the internet because hosting a virtual annual meeting enables greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting. You will be able to attend the annual meeting by first registering at http://www.viewproxy.com/PMCB/2024. You will receive a meeting invitation by e-mail with your unique join link along with a password prior to the meeting date. You will not be able to attend the annual meeting in person.

Details regarding the meeting, the business to be conducted at the meeting, and information about PharmaCyte that you should consider when you vote your shares are described in the accompanying proxy statement.

At the annual meeting, five persons will be elected to our board of directors. In addition, we will ask stockholders to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending April 30, 2024 and to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. Our board of directors recommends the approval of each these proposals. Such other business will be transacted as may properly come before the annual meeting.

We hope you will be able to attend the annual meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we hope you will vote promptly. Information about voting methods is set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

Thank you for your continued support of PharmaCyte. We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting.

Sincerely,

Joshua N. Silverman

Interim Chairman, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim President
