stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy directly to the Company or to vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in a stock brokerage account
or through a bank or other financial intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. Your bank, broker or other financial intermediary is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As
the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other financial intermediary on how to vote your shares, but because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Special Meeting unless
you obtain a signed proxy from your bank, broker or other financial intermediary, as the record holder, giving you the right to vote the shares. As a beneficial owner, you are, however, welcome to attend the Special Meeting in person provided that
you present proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as an account statement or similar evidence of ownership, along with a form of photo identification.
Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy as described in the proxy card or voting
instruction form, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting. Submitting your proxy now will not prevent you from voting your shares in person by written ballot at the Special Meeting if you desire to do
so, as your proxy is revocable at your option.
You may revoke your proxy by (a) delivering to the Secretary of the Company at or
before the Special Meeting a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy, (b) duly executing a subsequent proxy and delivering it to the Secretary of the Company at or before the Special Meeting, or (c) attending the
Special Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Special Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy). Any written notice revoking a proxy should be delivered at or prior to the Special Meeting to: Jaguar
Health, Inc., 200 Pine Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94104, Attention: Jonathan S. Wolin. Beneficial owners of our Common Stock who are not holders of record and wish to change their voting direction should contact their bank, brokerage firm
or other custodian, nominee or fiduciary to inquire about how to make that change.
The shares represented by all valid proxies received
will be voted in the manner specified. Where specific choices are not indicated on a proxy validly executed and delivered by a stockholder entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted: (i)
FOR Proposal 1, which is the approval of the amendment to the Companys Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the COI) to effect, if approved and effected at all, a reverse stock split of
the Companys issued and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-15 and not greater than 1-for-40, the exact ratio, if approved and effected at
all, to be set within that range at the discretion of the Companys board of directors and publicly announced by the Company on or before the one-year anniversary of the approval of this proposal, without
further approval or authorization of the Companys stockholders (the Reverse Stock Split); and (ii) FOR Proposal 2 which is the approval of one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit
additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1.
We will
bear all expenses of this solicitation, including the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement. We have retained Georgeson LLC to solicit proxies for a base fee of $7,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to solicitation by use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by telephone, facsimile or personally by our directors, officers and employees, who will receive no extra
compensation for their services. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy soliciting materials to beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock.
