Dear Ritter Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Stockholder,

 

You recently received proxy materials pertaining to certain matters related to Ritter Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Ritter”) proposed merger with Qualigen, Inc. (the “Merger Proposals”) to be voted on at a Special Meeting of Stockholders of Ritter, which will be held virtually on May 14, 2020, at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time.

 

You are receiving this REMINDER notice because you held shares of Ritter as of the close of business on March 26, 2020, the record date for the Special Meeting, and we have not yet received your vote.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously recommends that you vote

“FOR” each of the Merger Proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting.

 

HOW TO VOTE     REASONS TO VOTE “FOR” THE
      MERGER PROPOSALS
Record Holders:      
       
● Vote NOW by telephone (800) 690-6903 or via the internet (www.proxyvote.com), by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card, which provides your control number.   ● The merged company will focus on the development of Qualigen’s nanotechnology therapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases, while continuing to operate its revenue-generating diagnostic business.
● Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and mail it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope as soon as possible.    
       
Beneficial (Street) Holders:   ● Ritter shareholders will own 7.5% of the post-merger company and will receive Contingent Value Rights (CVRs), entitling them to a portion of the net proceeds from any potential monetization event involving all or any part of Ritter’s intellectual property or technology.1
     
If you hold your shares in a brokerage or bank account (in “street name”), your broker or bank cannot vote your shares unless you complete, sign and date the enclosed voting instruction form and return the form to your bank or broker, or vote online or by phone, by following the instructions provided in the voting instruction form.    

 

Your vote is very important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. Each of Proposal Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are conditioned upon each other. Therefore, the merger cannot be consummated without the approval of Proposal Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. Your failure to vote, or your decision to abstain from voting, will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the Merger Proposals, which will, collectively, have the effect of voting AGAINST the merger.

 

YOUR VOTE MATTERS!!!
