Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 (the “Proxy Statement Amendment”) to the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2024 amends and replaces the form of proxy card (the “Form of Proxy Card”) as included in the Proxy Statement. The information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged except as set forth in this Proxy Statement Amendment, in which case the information in the Proxy Statement is superseded by the information in this Proxy Statement Amendment.
Amendment to the Form of Proxy Card
During the filing process, the Form of Proxy Card as included with the Proxy Statement sustained a technical error which caused the filing agent to file a partially illegible portion of the Form of Proxy Card.
By this Proxy Statement Amendment, the Company is filing an amended form of proxy card (the “Amended Form of Proxy Card”). The amendment is necessary to make the Form of Proxy Card legible.
The soliciting materials distributed to stockholders contained the Amended Form of Proxy Card.
Amended Form of Proxy Card
The Amended Form of Proxy Card is as follows:
