Change in Corporate Name
On February 11, 2014, we changed our name from Novelos Therapeutics, Inc. to Cellectar Biosciences, Inc. The name change was effected pursuant to the short form merger of a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary named Cellectar Biosciences, Inc. with and into Novelos Therapeutics, Inc. which resulted in the change to the name of the parent company to Cellectar Biosciences, Inc.
The ticker symbol of our common stock was changed from NVLT to CLRB in connection with the name change.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
See Risk Factors beginning on page 6 of the Prospectus.
