LADDCAP WILL STRESS THE NEED FOR ALL DELCATH STOCKHOLDERS TO
VOTE DURING TODAY’S CONFERENCE CALL

New York, September 6, 2006 - Laddcap Value Partners LP invites all interested parties to participate in today’s, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 4:30 PM (ET), conference call with representatives of Laddcap’s Director nominees. No pre-registration is required. Laddcap is asking its fellow Delcath Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: DCTH) stockholders for their written consent to remove and replace Delcath's current Board with its slate of experienced nominees.

“The question and answer format of the conference call will enable us to hear and address the concerns of Delcath’s stockholders and to provide an opportunity for us to share our excitement for Delcath’s future. Moreover, we look forward to discussing our vision and plans to complete the Phase III melphalan trial, obtain FDA approval and expand the product pipeline for isolated perfusion,” comments Jonathan A. Foltz, Board nominee.

Laddcap believes that Delcath needs a strong, experienced Board to take constructive steps towards commercializing Delcath’s technology and creating real short and long-term value for Delcath stockholders. Laddcap is asking its fellow stockholders to return their BLUE Consent Cards in support of its nominees.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS

“We have repeatedly heard Delcath stockholders express their fear that the litigation initiated by Delcath will prevent their votes from counting. This is definitely not the case, Every Vote Counts. We view the litigation as a desperate attempt by Delcath to frustrate stockholder democracy and we are confident that the rights of Delcath’s stockholders will be upheld so that they can decide for themselves the future leadership of their company,” stated Robert B. Ladd, Board nominee. Stockholders should return their BLUE Consent Cards, in support of Laddcap and its Board nominees, as soon as possible with confidence that every vote will be counted.

LADDCAP CONFERENCE CALL TODAY AT 4:30 PM (ET)

Today’s conference call is open to all interested parties: current, former and potential stockholders, members of the media and persons interested in Delcath’s dynamic technology. No pre-registration is required. To participate in Laddcap’s open conference call dial 1-888-550-5602 and enter code 0981 2532. Instructions will be given during the call to participate in the question and answer format.

DELCATH TOWN HALL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8TH

Laddcap encourages all persons, who satisfy Delcath’s pre-registration criteria, to participate in the town hall meeting sponsored by Delcath and ask Mr. Koly, Delcath’s CEO, the questions they most want answered. Delcath’s meeting is scheduled for September 8th at 10:00 AM in Stamford, Connecticut.
