EXPLANATORY NOTE
On October 25, 2024, Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the "Proxy Statement") relating to the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, commencing at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. As previously disclosed, the board of directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on October 14, 2024, as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any postponement(s) thereof. Capitalized terms used in this supplement to the Proxy Statement (the "Supplement") without definition have the same meanings as set forth in the Proxy Statement.
This Supplement is being filed to disclose that subsequent to the filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement, the Company engaged Campaign Management LLC ("Campaign Management") to be the Company's proxy solicitor to provide strategic advice and solicit proxies on behalf of the Company in connection with the Annual Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Campaign Management approximately $12,000, plus certain expenses in connection with the proxy solicitation for its services. The fees of Campaign Management as well as the reimbursement of expenses of Campaign Management will be borne by the Company. The Company has also agreed to indemnify Campaign Management against various losses and expenses that relate to or arise out of its performance of services to the Company. If you have any questions, or need additional materials, please feel free to contact Campaign Management. Banks, brokers and stockholders may call Campaign Management at 1-844-394-4517 (toll-free within North America) or 1-212-632-8422 (call collect outside North America).
This Supplement is also being filed to correct that the number of aggregate votes the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date is 461,523 votes. This change affects the disclosure as related to the number of votes the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock as of the Record Date are entitled to as reported on page 4 and page 10 of the Proxy Statement. All references to "461,528" and "461,533" in the Proxy Statement are hereby deleted and replaced with "approximately 461,523."
This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. Except as specifically amended or supplemented by the information contained herein, this Supplement does not otherwise modify, amend or supplement the Proxy Statement, and the information contained in the Proxy Statement should be considered in voting your shares. If you have already returned your proxy card or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote.
