Delcath Systems, Inc. : DELCATH ANNOUNCES REIMBURSEMENT STATUS FOR CHEMOSAT IN GERMANY

Interim Reimbursement Value 4 Status Confirmed for 2014

NEW YORK, January 31, 2014 - Delcath Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) today announced that the Institut für das Entgeltsystem im Krankenhaus (InEk), the German federal reimbursement agency, has reiterated the Value 4 coverage status for the treatment of patients with liver metastases with the Delcath Hepatic CHEMOSAT® Delivery System. Under the Neue Untersuchungs und Behandlungsmethoden (NUB) reimbursement scheme, Value 4 Status, while not mandating reimbursement, allows participating cancer centers to negotiate reimbursement coverage for the CHEMOSAT procedure with all insurers serving their region.

The InEk determines three status levels for medical procedures submitted for its review: Value 1 (mandated reimbursement), Value 2 (declined for reimbursement), and Value 4 (negotiated reimbursement). The InEk may also decline to make determination regarding an application. For 2014 reimbursement, a total of 618 medical procedures were submitted to the InEk for consideration under the NUB scheme, with 16% or 96 procedures receiving Value 1 Status, 6% or 36 procedures receiving Value 4, and the remaining 78% denied coverage or un-evaluated. The CHEMOSAT application was submitted by 71 hospitals in Germany, which represents a significant increase in the level of institutional support the procedure received over 2013.

InEk first established NUB Value 4 status for CHEMOSAT procedures in 2013, and participating cancer centers in Germany have been and are expected to continue pursuing reimbursement under Value 4 status, providing hospitals the opportunity to submit Individual Funding Requests (IFR) to obtain reimbursement for the CHEMOSAT procedure. While IFRs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, the majority of these applications have been approved in recent months. The Company expects that IFRs will be the key reimbursement vehicle in the German market in 2014.

"The number of applications denied or not evaluated by InEk illustrates how challenging the reimbursement environment is for new procedures in Germany," said Jennifer K. Simpson, Interim Co-President and Co-CEO of Delcath. "With the broad institutional support for our product this year, an existing network of seven cancer centers in Germany offering the CHEMOSAT procedure, and a reimbursement mechanism via the IFR process, we believe we are well positioned to continue driving clinical adoption of CHEMOSAT in the German market. As local experience and clinical data continue to build in Germany, we also believe our prospects for achieving NUB Value 1 Status will improve."
