CHAD Therapeutics Announces Mailing of Definitive Proxy
Regarding Proposed Sale of Its Oxygen Business
Sets Special Meeting of Shareholders for Thursday, January 31, 2008
CHATSWORTH, California, January 2, 2008 . . . CHAD Therapeutics, Inc. (ASE:CTU) announced today that it has commenced mailing its definitive proxy statement to shareholders for approval of its proposed sale of assets related to its oxygen conserving business to Inovo, Inc., a privately held manufacturer of oxygen regulators and conservers based in Naples, Florida, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 16, 2007. The Company has scheduled a special meeting of shareholders for Thursday, January 31, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. PST at CHAD Therapeutics, Inc, 21622 Plummer Street, Chatsworth, CA, 91311. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 24, 2007, will be entitled to vote at the meeting.
The Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the proposed asset sale is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposed sale.
Shareholders are encouraged to read the Company’s definitive proxy materials in their entirety. The proxy materials, which were mailed on or about December 28, 2007, provide, among other things, a detailed discussion of the process that led to the proposed asset sale, the reasons behind the Board of Directors’ unanimous recommendation and the risks involved with the sale. Additional copies of the proxy statement are available without charge from CHAD and also may be obtained for free from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Stockholders who have questions about the asset sale or need assistance in submitting their proxy or voting their shares should contact the Company’s proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co., LLC, toll free at 1-800-662-5200.
Earl Yager, CHAD’s President and CEO said, “Approval of the asset sale is critical to CHAD’s future. Because failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against approving the transaction, we urge shareholders to exercise their rights by voting their shares as soon as possible after they receive and review the proxy statement.”

The foregoing statements regarding prospects for future earnings and revenues, future sales trends and the introduction of products under development are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
