PRELIMINARY REVOCATION SOLICITATION STATEMENT

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED JULY 26, 2022

 

 

July 26, 2022

 

Dear Pasithea Stockholders,

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), we are writing you to ask for your support in this contest over the future direction of Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (“Pasithea”, the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our”). Despite the Company’s achievement of its milestones that the Company set at the time of its recent initial public offering, a group of new shareholders that we refer to as the Camac Group, who only acquired their position in our common stock in the last four months, is soliciting consents to call a special meeting to remove all of Pasithea’s directors without cause. Camac has not made any statement or asserted removal for cause of the Board. and without stating any plans for the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors if its efforts are successful. We urge you to reject the Camac Group’s request for written consents to call a special meeting to remove without cause directors and other related stockholder proposals by voting Pasithea’s GOLD Revocation Card.

 

On July 1, 2022, Camac Fund, LP (“Camac LP”), Camac Partners, LLC, Camac Capital, LLC, Concord IP2 Ltd., Elderhill Corporation, Leonite Capital LLC, Eric Shahinian, David Delaney, and Avi Geller (collectively, the “Camac Group”) commenced a solicitation to obtain consents to request a special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders would vote on a proposal to remove without cause all members of your Board, vote on a proposal related to the filling of vacancies on the Board that would subsequently arise and to repeal any amendments to the Company’s Bylaws adopted after April 13, 2021 (it should be noted that no such amendments have occurred). The Camac Group seems to want to create disturbance but not offer solutions. It seeks to call a special meeting to remove all of the Board and approve other proposals, but fails to outline any plans for the Company, including what it believes should be the composition of the Board and what should happen if all of the directors are removed without cause at the special meeting. Therefore, the Board believes you should oppose these efforts by the Camac Group by voting the GOLD Revocation Card.

 

 

 

 

The Camac Group does not offer any solutions or plans for the Company. The Camac Group is soliciting consents to call a special meeting but fails to disclose the consequences to the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its stockholder proposals are approved. The Camac Group fails to identify how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors and does not identify any director replacements. If the Camac Group obtains the written consents for the special meeting and the Camac Group’s proposals are approved by stockholders, our Company could have no directors to oversee business operations and be required to engage in a costly and time-consuming solicitations with respect to the special meeting and any appointment of new directors.

 

This is not the first time that members of the Camac Group, Camac Camac LP and Eric Shahinian, have participated in a solicitation of shareholders aimed at replacing all of the board of directors of a corporation. In October 2019, Camac LP together with Eric Shahinian participated in a proxy contest against Liberated Syndication Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Liberated Syndication”), seeking to replace the entire membership of Liberated Syndication. As part of a settlement with Liberated Syndication, Camac LP extracted a payment from Liberated Syndication of up to $600,000 for their expenses and Eric Shahinian joined the board of directors. During Mr. Shahinian’s tenure as a director of Liberated Syndication, Liberated Syndication was required to restate its financial statements and the Securities and Exchange Commission deemed it necessary for the protection of investors that a public administrative proceeding be instituted against the Liberated Syndication for failure to file any periodic reports since the period ended September 30, 2020, and its registration with the Commission was revoked. The Camac Group has stated that it intends to seek reimbursement from Pasithea of its own solicitation costs without seeking shareholder approval for such reimbursement if its consent solicitation is successful. Pasithea strongly believes that it is in the best interests of Pasithea stockholders to reject the Camac Group’s solicitation as it is costly and distracting and only benefits the Camac Group.

 

Your Board believes that the Camac Group’s Proposals are not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders

 

We believe that the calling and holding of a special meeting, which is a very costly event, is unnecessary and is only being sought solely to further the ultimate interests of the Camac Group, who only began to acquire their current position of Common Stock on March 2, 2022. The Pasithea Board was elected less than a month ago by a majority of the votes cast at Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders. The Camac Group had the opportunity at that time to raise its objections regarding the election of the directors and had a reasonable time to propose its own slate of directors to be voted on at the annual meeting. Holding a special meeting diverts significant time and resources from the Company.

 

The Camac Group is attempting to solicit consents for a special meeting but fails to disclose the consequences to the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its proposals are approved. The Camac Group only states that it seeks to remove all of the directors on the Board without cause. The Camac Group fails to identify any of the qualifications, experiences or competencies that it believes are missing from the current Pasithea Board or any of the individuals it would seek to nominate to the Pasithea Board let alone how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors. If the Camac Group obtains the written consents for the special meeting and the Camac Group’s proposals are approved by stockholders, our Company could be faced with having no directors to oversee business operations and be required to engage in a costly and time-consuming process for identifying and appointing new directors. The Camac Group does not offer any solutions or plans for the Company.

 

 

 

 

The Camac Group has not proposed any plans for the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its proposals are approved. We believe that the purpose of the special meeting is to facilitate the Camac Group’s ability to replace all of the members of Pasithea’s Board without cause with its handpicked nominees, none of whom have been disclosed by Camac Group. Members of the Camac Group are new investors in Pasithea with its Common Stock ownership being acquired only in the last four months according to its Schedule 13D.

 

Pasithea became a public company on September 13, 2021, less than one year ago. Pasithea maintains constructive, ongoing communications with all of its shareholders and welcomes and values their input. Requesting a special meeting of stockholders less than one month after Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders requires significant time and resources of management and causes the Company to incur unnecessary expense. The actions of the Camac Group divert resources of the Company at a time when the Company is in the early stages of being a public company and should be devoting resources to the growth of its business.

 

We believe that your interests will be served best if your current Board and management continue to pursue the Company’s growth strategy and business plan to promote shareholder value.  

 

As further detailed in the enclosed statement, we believe that shareholders should make the important decision on whether to demand a special meeting based on full information and a clear understanding of who it is that is seeking to call the special meeting and the reasons therefor as well as the risks and benefits of calling such a meeting.

 

If you have already submitted a white written request card to the Camac Group supporting the call of a special meeting, you can revoke such consent by submitting the accompanying GOLD revocation card to Pasithea. Even if you have not submitted a white written request card to the Camac Group, you may nevertheless communicate that you do not believe a special meeting is necessary or express your opposition to calling a special meeting by submitting the accompanying GOLD revocation card to Pasithea.

 

SUBMIT THE GOLD REVOCATION CARD TODAY

 

This Consent Revocation Statement contains important information as to why and how you should submit the accompanying GOLD Revocation Card to revoke any white written consent card that you may have previously returned to the Camac Group. We urge you to read this Consent Revocation Statement carefully.

 

1. Do not sign the Camac Group’s white written consent card and do not return the white consent card in the postage-paid envelope;
     
  2. If you have signed the Camac Group’s white written consent card, revoke that consent by signing, dating and returning the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card immediately in the pre-paid envelope provided; and
     
  3. Even if you have not signed the Camac Group’s white written consent card, you can show your support for your Board and fellow shareholders by signing, dating and returning the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card in the pre-paid envelope provided.

 

 

 

 

Regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock of Pasithea that you own, your views are very important and we thank you for your continued support.

 

  Sincerely,
   
  The Board of Directors
  Pasithea Therapeutics Corp.

PASITHEA SOLICITATION STATEMENT
OF PASITHEA THERAPEUTICS CORP.
IN RESPONSE TO A SOLICITATION OF
WRITTEN REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL MEETING
BY CAMAC FUND, LP, ET. AL.

 

July 26, 2022

 

This Pasithea Solicitation Statement (this “Pasithea Solicitation Statement”) and the accompanying GOLD revocation card (the “GOLD Revocation Card”) are being furnished by Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (“Pasithea”, the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our”) to the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”) in connection with the solicitation (the “Camac Solicitation”) of White written request cards (“White Written Request Cards”) by Camac Fund, LP, Camac Partners, LLC, Camac Capital, LLC, Concord IP2 Ltd., Elderhill Corporation, Leonite Capital LLC, Eric Shahinian, David Delaney, and Avi Geller (collectively, the “Camac Group”). For purposes of this Pasithea Solicitation Statement, all references herein to the White Written Request Cards being solicited by the Camac Group shall be deemed to include any associated proxies being solicited by the Camac Group. This Pasithea Solicitation Statement and the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about July [ ], 2022.

 

We believe that the calling and holding of a special meeting, which is a very costly event, is unnecessary and is only being sought solely to further the ultimate interests of the Camac Group, who only began to acquire their current position of Common Stock on March 2, 2022. The Pasithea Board was elected less than one month ago by a majority of the votes cast at Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders. The Camac Group had the opportunity at that time to raise its objections regarding the election of the directors and had a reasonable time to propose their own slate of directors to be voted on at the annual meeting. Holding a special meeting diverts significant time and resources from the Company.

 

The Camac Group is attempting to solicit consents for a special meeting but fails to disclose the consequences to the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its stockholder proposals are approved. The Camac Group only states that it seeks to remove all of the directors on the Board without cause. The Camac Group fails to identify any of the qualifications, experiences or competencies that it believes are missing from the current Pasithea Board or any of the individuals it would seek to nominate to the Pasithea Board let alone how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors. If the Camac Group obtains the written consents for the special meeting and the Camac Group’s proposals are approved by stockholders, our Company could be faced with having no directors to oversee business operations and be required to engage in a costly and time-consuming process for identifying and appointing new directors. The Camac Group does not offer any solutions or plans for the Company.

Your Board believes that the Camac Group’s Proposals are not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders

 

The Camac Group has not proposed any plans for the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its proposals are approved. We believe that the purpose of the special meeting is to facilitate the Camac Group’s ability to replace all of the members of Pasithea’s Board without cause with its handpicked nominees, none of whom have been disclosed by Camac Group. Members of the Camac Group are new investors in Pasithea with its Common Stock ownership being acquired only in the last four months according to its Schedule 13D filed with the Commission.

 

This is not the first time that members of the Camac Group, Camac LP and Eric Shahinian, have participated in a solicitation of shareholders aimed at replacing all of the board of directors of a corporation. In October 2019, Camac LP together with Eric Shahinian participated in a proxy contest against Liberated Syndication, seeking to replace the entire membership of Liberated Syndication. As part of a settlement with Liberated Syndication, Camac LP extracted a payment from Liberated Syndication of up to $600,000 for their expenses and Eric Shahinian joined the board of directors. During Mr. Shahinian’s tenure as a director of Liberated Syndication, Liberated Syndication was required to restate its financial statements and the Securities and Exchange Commission deemed it necessary for the protection of investors that a public administrative proceeding be instituted against the Liberated Syndication for failure to file any periodic reports since the period ended September 30, 2020, and its registration with the Commission was revoked. The Camac Group has stated that it intends to seek reimbursement from Pasithea of its own solicitation costs without seeking shareholder approval for such reimbursement if its consent solicitation is successful. Pasithea strongly believes that it is in the best interests of Pasithea stockholders to reject the Camac Group’s solicitation as it is costly and distracting and only benefits the Camac Group.

 

Pasithea became a public company on September 13, 2021, less than one year ago. Pasithea maintains constructive, ongoing communications with all of its shareholders and welcomes and values their input. Requesting a special meeting of stockholders less than one month after Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders requires significant time and resources of management, causing the Company to incur unnecessary expense. The actions of the Camac Group divert resources of the Company at a time when the Company is in the early stages of being a public company and should be devoting resources to the growth of its business.

 

The Camac Group has indicated the Camac Solicitation that if it obtains sufficient consents to call a special meeting that it intends to submit for shareholder approval the following proposals:

 

Proposal 1: To remove, without cause, each of Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, Dr. Yassine Bendiabdallah, Doctor and Professor Lawrence Steinman, Simon Dumesnil and Dr. Emer Leahy as directors of Pasithea (and any persons who are elected, appointed or designated by the Board to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship at any time prior to the time that any of the actions proposed by this Statement become effective); and

 

Each Pasithea director was elected less than a month ago by a majority of votes cast.

 

ii

 

 

Proposal 2: To vote on a proposal related to the filling of vacancies on the Board that arise as the result of the removal of one or more directors by stockholders; and

 

The Camac Group fails to identify any of the qualifications, experiences or competencies that it believes are missing from the current Pasithea Board or any of the individuals it would seek to nominate to the Pasithea Board let alone how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors.

 

Proposal 3: To repeal each provision or amendment of the Bylaws adopted by the Board without the approval of Pasithea’s stockholders after April 13, 2021 (the last date that the Bylaws were publicly disclosed by Pasithea), and prior to the approval of this proposal; and

 

No Bylaw amendments have been adopted by the Pasithea Board during this time period.

 

Proposal 4: Transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting (items (i) through (iii) are collectively referred to as the “Camac Proposals”).

 

As of July 26, 2022, there were 26,548,688 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Based on the number of shares outstanding on July 26, 2022 (and assuming the number of shares outstanding on the record date for the proposed special meeting is unchanged from July 26, 2022), in order to request the special meeting in accordance with the Bylaws, the Camac Group would need to validly deliver to the Company pursuant to our Bylaws, executed and unrevoked written requests from holders of approximately 6,637,172 shares of Common Stock as of the record date for the proposed special meeting. The actual number of shares of Common Stock for which executed and unrevoked written requests will need to be received in order to request a special meeting will depend on the number of shares that are outstanding at the time written requests representing valid and unrevoked written requests of stockholders entitled to cast at least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the proposed special meeting as of the record date for the proposed special meeting are delivered to the Company pursuant to our Bylaws.

 

As of July 26, 2022, our directors and executive officers collectively beneficially own 2,327,174 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 8.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. None of our directors or executive officers intend to deliver any White Written Request Cards with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own.

 

For additional information regarding the mechanics of the Camac Solicitation, see “The Special Meeting Request Procedure—Effectiveness of White Written Requests.”

 

THE BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY DETERMINED THAT THE CAMAC SOLICITATION IS CONTRARY TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS, AND STRONGLY OPPOSES THE SOLICITATION OF WRITTEN REQUESTS BY THE CAMAC GROUP. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT SIGN ANY WHITE WRITTEN REQUEST CARD SENT TO YOU BY THE CAMAC GROUP. YOU MAY OPPOSE THE CALLING OF A SPECIAL MEETING BY NOT DELIVERING A WHITE CARD TO THE CAMAC GROUP OR BY DELIVERING THE GOLD REVOCATION CARD TO THE COMPANY.

 

If you have questions or need assistance revoking your White Written Request Card for your shares, please contact our proxy solicitor, Kingsdale Advisors (“Kingsdale”), by phone toll-free at 1-866-581-1514 or call collect outside North America at 416-867-2272, or by email at contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS REVOCATION SOLICITATION STATEMENT

 

Who is the Camac Group?

 

For purposes of this Pasithea Solicitation Statement, the Camac Group refers collectively to Camac Fund, LP, Camac Partners, LLC, Camac Capital, LLC, Concord IP2 Ltd., Elderhill Corporation, Leonite Capital LLC, Eric Shahinian, David Delaney, and Avi Geller.

 

Why am I receiving this Revocation Solicitation Statement?

 

The Camac Solicitation seeks to require the Company to call a special meeting of stockholders for stockholders to consider and vote upon the Camac Proposals set forth below. The Board believes that the calling of a special meeting one month after the Pasithea Annual Meeting would be highly unusual, distracting, costly, unnecessary and contrary to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders—see the Board’s recommendation under “Recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors and Reasons for the Recommendation.”

 

Proposal 1: To remove, without cause, each of Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, Dr. Yassine Bendiabdallah, Professor Lawrence Steinman, Simon Dumesnil and Dr. Emer Leahy as directors of Pasithea (and any persons who are elected, appointed or designated by the Board to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship at any time prior to the time that any of the actions proposed by this Statement become effective); and

 

Each Pasithea director was elected less than a month ago by a majority of votes cast.

 

Proposal 2: To vote on a proposal related to the filling of vacancies on the Board that arise as the result of the removal of one or more directors by stockholders; and

 

The Camac Group fails to identify any of the qualifications, experiences or competencies that it believes are missing from the current Pasithea Board or any of the individuals it would seek to nominate to the Pasithea Board let alone how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors.

 

Proposal 3: To repeal each provision or amendment of the Bylaws adopted by the Board without the approval of Pasithea’s stockholders after April 13, 2021 (the last date that the Bylaws were publicly disclosed by Pasithea), and prior to the approval of this proposal; and

 

No Bylaw amendments have been adopted by the Pasithea Board during this time period.

 

Proposal 4: Transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting (items (i) through (iii) are collectively referred to as the “Camac Proposals”).

 

Who is making this solicitation?

 

The Board of Directors of Pasithea is making this solicitation.

Should I oppose the Camac Group’s efforts to call a special meeting?

 

Yes. We strongly urge you NOT to sign any White Written Request card sent to you by the Camac Group.

 

We believe there are certain risks and costs, outlined in further detail below, associated with calling a special meeting that shareholders should be aware of before making the decision whether to consent to the Camac Solicitation, including, but not limited to, causing the Company to lose its entire current and highly qualified Board if the special meeting is called and the proposal to remove directors is approved. We strongly believe that allowing the Camac Group to call a special meeting is not in the best interests of Pasithea or its shareholders and is a costly, distracting undertaking and we question whether the Camac Group’s special meeting demand is aimed at only benefitting the Camac Group, by causing all the members of the Pasithea Board without cause to be replaced with the Camac Group’s handpicked nominees which have not been disclosed to Pasithea stockholders during this solicitation process.

 

We believe that the calling and holding of a special meeting, which is a very costly event, is unnecessary and is only being sought solely to further the ultimate interests of the Camac Group, who only began to acquire their current position of Common Stock on March 2, 2022.

This is not the first time that members of the Camac Group, Camac LP and Eric Shahinian, have participated in a solicitation of shareholders aimed at replacing all of the board of directors of a corporation. In October 2019, Camac LP together with Eric Shahinian participated in a proxy contest against Liberated Syndication, seeking to replace the entire membership of Liberated Syndication. As part of a settlement with Liberated Syndication, Camac LP extracted a payment from Liberated Syndication of up to $600,000 for their expenses and Eric Shahinian joined the board of directors. During Mr. Shahinian’s tenure as a director of Liberated Syndication, Liberated Syndication was required to restate its financial statements and the Securities and Exchange Commission deemed it necessary for the protection of investors that a public administrative proceeding be instituted against the Liberated Syndication for failure to file any periodic reports since the period ended September 30, 2020, and its registration with the Commission was revoked. The Camac Group has stated that it intends to seek reimbursement from Pasithea of its own solicitation costs without seeking shareholder approval for such reimbursement if its consent solicitation is successful. Pasithea strongly believes that it is in the best interests of Pasithea stockholders to reject the Camac Group’s solicitation as it is costly and distracting and only benefits the Camac Group.

 

Pasithea became a public company on September 13, 2021, less than one year ago. Pasithea maintains constructive, ongoing communications with all of its shareholders and welcomes and values their input. Requesting a special meeting of stockholders less than one month after Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders requires significant time and resources of management, causing the Company to incur unnecessary expense. The actions of the Camac Group divert resources of the Company at a time when the Company is in the early stages of being a public company and should be devoting resources to the growth of its business.

 

Not only does the Camac Group not have a plan for how the Board should operate if the proposal to remove directors is approved, certain allegations that the Camac Group makes in the Camac Solicitation justifying the request to call a special meeting and remove directors are misleading. In the Camac Solicitation , the Camac Group states that the Company’s acquisition of Alpha-5 Integrin, LLC (the “Alpha Acquisition”), a company in which Lawrence Steinman, the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Pasithea held a minority interest, was a “highly dilutive, related-party acquisition… We believe that Pasithea is suffering from significant corporate governance lapses and chronic financial underperformance”. This statement does not account for the increase in market capitalization that occurred after the Alpha Acquisition. The closing per share price of the Company on the date of the announcement of the Alpha Acquisition was $0.969 and its market capitalization was approximately $22,565,896. As of July 1, 2022, the closing per share price was $1.00. It is misleading and a misrepresentation to characterize the Alpha Acquisition as being “highly dilutive” from a market capitalization perspective since there has been a 17% in increase in the market capitalization since the public announcement of the Alpha Acquisition.

 

Moreover, the above Camac statement suggesting “significant corporate governance” lapses on behalf of the Company provides no evidentiary support and we believe is conjecture. The Alpha Acquisition was approved by a unanimous written consent of disinterested directors of the Company, with Mr. Steinman recusing himself from any Board and Board committee discussions on the matter. Mr. Steinman did not employ legal counsel at any point during the negotiations for the Alpha Acquisition, and the counsel provided by the 80% owner of Alpha-5 Integrin, LLC negotiated the transaction. The Company received a fairness opinion an independent financial advisor affirming that the consideration issued by the Company in the Alpha Acquisition was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

Further, the above statement suggesting “chronic financial underperformance” by the Company is misleading because the Company has only been public since September 2021 and was incorporated in May 2020. It is misleading to suggest that Pasithea has chronically financially underperformed when its life as a public company has spanned less than a full year. In addition, in numerous Commission filings, the Company has included a risk factor stating that it expects to incur “significant expenses and operating losses for which [it does] not have offsetting revenue” and stated that it was seeking acquisition candidates. The Company has been fully transparent about the likelihood of financial struggles and the statements used by the Camac Group do not address this.

 

We strongly urge you to NOT sign any White Written Request Card sent to you by the Camac Group. Whether or not you have previously executed the Camac Group’s White Written Request card, you may elect against the calling of a special meeting if you sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card using the enclosed pre-paid envelope.

 

What are you asking me to do?

 

We strongly urge you NOT to sign any White Written Request card sent to you by the Camac Group.

 

If you wish to convey that you do not believe a special meeting is necessary, wish to oppose the call of a special meeting or wish to revoke a previous Written Request provided to the Camac Group on their White Written Request card, you can sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card, by mail (using the enclosed pre-paid envelope) to Pasithea’s proxy solicitor, Kingsdale.

 

What happens if I do nothing?

 

If you do not send in any White Written Request card that the Camac Group may send you and you do not return the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card, you will effectively be voting AGAINST the Camac Group’s attempt to hold a special meeting. However, we urge you to communicate your view that you do not support the Camac Group’s request for a special meeting and sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card, by mail (using the enclosed pre-paid envelope) to the Camac Group’s proxy solicitor, InvestorCom LLC at 9 Old Kings Highway S., Suite 210, Darien, CT 06820.

If I have already delivered a White Written Request Card, is it too late for me to change my mind?

 

No. You have the right to revoke your White Written Request Card at any time prior to the date of any stockholder-requested special meeting by signing, dating and returning a GOLD Revocation Card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

 

Does the revocation have any effect on matters other than the Camac Solicitation?

 

No. Pasithea is seeking revocations only related to the calling of the special meeting by asking you to sign, date and return a GOLD Revocation Card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Pasithea is not currently seeking your proxy, vote, consent or authorization with respect to any other matter.

 

Who should I call if I have questions about the solicitation?

BACKGROUND OF THE SOLICITATION

 

The Board and Pasithea management regularly review and discuss Pasithea’s performance, business strategy and competitive position. In connection with these reviews and discussions, the Board and management regularly consider and evaluate strategic options for Pasithea, including acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Pasithea’s performance and enhance stockholder value.

 

On May 13, 2022, the Company filed with the Commission definitive proxy materials (the “Company Proxy Statement”) of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) that was held on Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 9:00 a.m., EST.

 

On June 1, 2022 the Camac Group filed an initial Schedule 13D (the “Initial 13D”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”) reporting the creation of a group and open market purchases resulting in Camac’s beneficial ownership of approximately 5.8% of the shares of the outstanding Common Stock, all of which was purchased after March 1, 2022. The Initial 13D included a letter to the Board advising it to take no action to amend the bylaws, halt any major capital allocation decisions and refrain from initiating or modifying employment contracts of any personnel or board member (the “Camac Letter”).

 

On June 8, 2022, Camac spoke with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, about its concerns mentioned in its Initial 13D.

 

On June 16, 2022, Camac amended the Initial 13D to report ownership of approximately 6.8% of the outstanding Common Stock, calculated using the number of Common Stock outstanding as of May 9, 2022.

 

On June 17, 2022, Dr. Marques spoke again with Camac about Camac’s concerns regarding the Company.

 

On June 22, 2022, the Company announced that it had acquired (the “Alpha Acquisition”) Alpha-5 Integrin, LLC (the “Alpha-5”), a company in which Lawrence Steinman, the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Pasithea, held a minority interest.

 

On June 23, 2022, Camac issued a press release expressing concerns regarding the Alpha Acquisition and stating that Camac intended to withhold its votes for the election of the sitting directors of the Company at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

 

On June 23, 2022, the Company held its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders where, despite the Camac’s public communications to Company stockholders, each of the Company’s directors was re-elected by a majority of votes cast at the meeting.

 

On June 27, 2022, Camac filed a second amendment to its Schedule 13D to report ownership of approximately 9.3% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

On July 1, 2022, Camac filed its preliminary proxy statement (the “Camac Preliminary Proxy Statement”) with the Commission in which it solicits stockholders’ written consents to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Company through the Camac Solicitation to vote on the following proposals: (i) to remove all directors of the Company, (ii) to vote on a proposal related to filling the vacancies on the Board after removal, and (iii) to repeal all amendments to the Company’s bylaws adopted by the Board without approval of the Company’s stockholders after April 13, 2021.

 

On July 13, 2022, Camac filed a revised Camac Preliminary Proxy Statement with the Commission.

 

On July 14, 2022, Camac filed a Definitive Proxy Statement with the Commission regarding the Camac Solicitation.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND REASONS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

 

For the following reasons, the Board unanimously opposes the Camac Solicitation and recommends that you NOT sign any White Written Request Card sent to you. Whether or not you have previously executed a White Written Request Card, the Board encourages you to sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card as soon as possible.

 

The Board Believes the Camac Solicitation is Distracting and May Cause the Company to Incur Significant Costs

 

We believe that the calling and holding of a special meeting, which is a very costly event, is unnecessary and is only being sought in order to further the ultimate interests of the Camac Group, who only began to acquire their current position of Common Stock on March 2, 2022. The Pasithea Board was elected less than a month ago by a majority of the votes cast at Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders. The Camac Group had the opportunity at that time to raise its objections regarding the election of the directors and had a reasonable time to propose their own slate of directors to be voted on at the annual meeting. Holding a special meeting diverts significant time and resources from the Company.

 

The Camac Group is attempting to solicit consents for a special meeting but fails to disclose the consequences to the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its stockholder proposals are approved. The Camac Group only states that it seeks to remove all of the directors on the Board without cause. At the annual meeting, each director was elected by a majority of shares cast less than a month ago. The Camac Group fails to identify any of the qualifications, experiences or competencies that it believes are missing from the current Pasithea Board or any of the individuals it would seek to nominate to the Pasithea Board let alone how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors. If the Camac Group obtains the written consents for the special meeting and the Camac Group’s proposals are approved by stockholders, our Company could be faced with having no directors to oversee business operations and be required to engage in a costly and time-consuming process for identifying and appointing new directors. The Camac Group does not offer any solutions or plans for the Company. For Pasithea to engage in this solicitation with respect to the Camac Group’s request for the special meeting and then also engage in another solicitation if the special meeting solicitation is successful, would, in our view, be significantly distracting at a time when we believe the full focus and energy of the Board and management should be on executing our business plan as a new public company. In addition to the costs arising from diversion and distraction, we also believe that successive solicitations would require Pasithea to incur additional financial costs.

This is not the first time that members of the Camac Group, Camac LP and Eric Shahinian, have participated in a solicitation of shareholders aimed at replacing all of the board of directors of a corporation. In October 2019, Camac LP together with Eric Shahinian participated in a proxy contest against Liberated Syndication, seeking to replace the entire membership of Liberated Syndication. As part of a settlement with Liberated Syndication, Camac LP extracted a payment from Liberated Syndication of up to $600,000 for their expenses and Eric Shahinian joined the board of directors. During Mr. Shahinian’s tenure as a director of Liberated Syndication, Liberated Syndication was required to restate its financial statements and the Securities and Exchange Commission deemed it necessary for the protection of investors that a public administrative proceeding be instituted against the Liberated Syndication for failure to file any periodic reports since the period ended September 30, 2020, and its registration with the Commission was revoked. The Camac Group has stated that it intends to seek reimbursement from Pasithea of its own solicitation costs without seeking shareholder approval for such reimbursement if its consent solicitation is successful. Consequently, rather than having these funds available to grow its business, Pasithea, and ultimately you the shareholders, could bear the entire cost of this consent solicitation and the cost of a special meeting, including all of Pasithea’s legal, printing, mailing and other solicitation fees. These costs could be significant, in addition to the significant disruption and distraction that Pasithea would be forced to incur.

 

Pasithea became a public company on September 13, 2021, less than one year ago. Pasitheamaintains constructive, ongoing communications with all of its shareholders and welcomes and values their input. Requesting a special meeting of stockholders less than one month after Pasithea’s annual meeting of stockholders requires significant time and resources of management, causing the Company to incur unnecessary expense. The actions of the Camac Group divert resources of the Company at a time when the Company is in the early stages of being a public company and should be devoting resources to the growth of its business.

 

The Camac Group has not proposed any plans for the Company if its proposed special meeting is called and its proposals are approved. We believe that the purpose of the special meeting is to facilitate the Camac Group’s ability to replace all of the members of Pasithea’s Board with its handpicked nominees, none of whom have been disclosed by Camac Group. Members of the Camac Group are new investors in Pasithea with its Common Stock ownership being acquired only in the last four months according to its Schedule 13D. Accordingly, we recommend that you carefully consider the potential risks and costs to Pasithea of the Camac Solicitation. If, after careful consideration, you do not wish to support the call of a special meeting, do NOT sign any White Written Request card sent to you by the Camac Group.

 

Stockholders should carefully consider whether a special meeting is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. We strongly believe that a special meeting does not substitute for an open and productive dialogue between us and the stockholders. Your prompt delivery of the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card will allow the Board to focus on growing the Company and maximizing value for its stockholders. Do NOT sign any White Written Request Card sent to you by the Camac Group.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT A SPECIAL MEETING IS THE APPROPRIATE PATH OR YOU BELIEVE A SPECIAL MEETING IS UNNECESSARY AND WISH TO OPPOSE THE CALLING OF A SPECIAL MEETING, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED GOLD REVOCATION CARD USING THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE SIGNED THE WHITE WRITTEN REQUEST CARD FROM THE CAMAC GROUP AND WHETHER YOU ARE A RECORD OR STREET NAME HOLDER. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN. PLEASE SEND THE SIGNED GOLD REVOCATION CARD IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT THE WHITE WRITTEN REQUEST CARD AND WISH TO REVOKE SAID WHITE CARD.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CAMAC PROPOSALS

 

As set forth in the Camac Solicitation Statement and related materials filed with the SEC, the Camac Group is soliciting your written request to call a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, at which it expects to present the following matters for a stockholder vote:

 

i.To remove, without cause, each of Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, Dr. Yassine Bendiabdallah, Professor Lawrence Steinman, Simon Dumesnil and Dr. Emer Leahy as directors of Pasithea (and any persons who are elected, appointed or designated by the Board to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship at any time prior to the time that any of the actions proposed by this Statement become effective); and

 

Each Pasithea director was elected less than a month ago by a majority of votes cast.

 

ii.To vote on a proposal related to the filling of vacancies on the Board that arise as the result of the removal of one or more directors by stockholders; and

 

The Camac Group fails to identify any of the qualifications, experiences or competencies that it believes are missing from the current Pasithea Board or any of the individuals it would seek to nominate to the Pasithea Board let alone how new directors will be appointed to replace any removed directors.

 

iii.To repeal each provision or amendment of the Bylaws adopted by the Board without the approval of Pasithea’s stockholders after April 13, 2021 (the last date that the Bylaws were publicly disclosed by Pasithea), and prior to the approval of this proposal; and

 

No Bylaw amendments have been adopted by the Pasithea Board during this time period.

 

iv.Transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting.

THE SPECIAL MEETING REQUEST PROCEDURE

 

Voting Securities

 

As of July 26, 2022, there were 26,548,688 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Company currently has only one class of Common Stock.

 

Persons beneficially owning shares of Common Stock (but not holders of record), such as persons whose ownership of Common Stock is through a broker, bank, financial institution or other nominee holder, who wish to revoke a previously instructed White Written Request Card must contact such broker, bank, financial institution or other nominee holder and instruct such person to execute a revocation using the GOLD Revocation Card on their behalf. Any failure to submit a White Written Request Card will have the same effect as submitting a GOLD Revocation Card.

 

Additionally, even if you have not already submitted a White Written Request Card, you may elect to execute and submit the GOLD Revocation Card to communicate that you do not believe a special meeting is necessary or to express your opposition to a special meeting.

 

Effectiveness of White Written Request Cards

 

Under our Bylaws, special meetings of the stockholders of the Company may be called by the stockholders of at least 25% of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting. Such stockholder request for a special meeting shall specify the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted and include documentation sufficient to confirm the stockholder(s) total ownership of shares entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting. If written revocations of the White Written Request Cards have been delivered to the Secretary and the result is that White Written Request Cards have been delivered from stockholders entitled to cast less than 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a special meeting as of the record date for the proposed special meeting, then the Secretary is not obligated to call a special meeting.

 

Upon receipt of such a request, the Board shall determine the date, time and place of such special meeting, which must be scheduled to be held on a date that is within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Secretary of the request therefor, and the Secretary of the Company shall prepare a proper notice thereof. No business may be transacted at such special meeting other than the business specified in the notice to Stockholders of such meeting.

 

In accordance with Delaware law and our Bylaws, the Board has the sole power to fix the date, time and record date for any special meeting.

 

We reserve our rights to require full compliance with the provisions set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and applicable law with respect to any special meeting sought to be called by the Camac Group or any other stockholders.

 

Effect of GOLD Revocation Card

 

A stockholder may revoke any previously signed White Written Request Card by signing, dating and returning to us a GOLD Revocation Card.

 

10

 

 

By signing, dating and returning the GOLD Revocation Card, you will be deemed to have revoked any White Written Request Card submitted to request a special meeting.

 

Any GOLD Revocation Card may itself be revoked by marking, signing, dating and delivering a written revocation of your GOLD Revocation Card to Pasithea, or to the Camac Group, or by delivering to the Camac Group a subsequently dated White Written Request card that the Camac Group sent to you.

 

If you submit a written revocation of a GOLD Revocation Card that revoked your previously submitted White Written Request Card, that revocation of the GOLD Revocation Card will not have the effect of supporting the Camac Solicitation. Rather, a stockholder who first submits a GOLD Revocation Card (other than one marking the “No, do not revoke my request” box) and later wishes to support the Camac Solicitation can do so only by signing and delivering a subsequently dated White Written Request Card to the Camac Group.

 

The revocation of any previously delivered White Written Request Card or GOLD Revocation Card should be signed and have a date subsequent to the previously delivered White Written Request Card or GOLD Revocation Card. The revocation is not required to state the number of shares held unless you wish to revoke your White Written Request Card with respect to less than all shares as to which you previously requested the special meeting, in which case you must state the number of shares to which your revocation relates. In addition, if you have more than one account with respect to which you have delivered a White Written Request Card, the GOLD Revocation Card should identify the relevant account for which the White Written Request Card is being revoked.

 

We have retained Kingsdale to assist in communicating with stockholders in connection with the Camac Solicitation and to assist in our efforts to obtain GOLD Revocation Cards. If you have any questions about how to complete or submit your GOLD Revocation Card or any other questions, Kingsdale will be pleased to assist you. Please contact Kingsdale by phone toll-free at 1-866-581-1514 or call collect outside North America at 416-867-2272, or by email at contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com.

 

If any shares of common stock that you own are held for you in an account with a stock brokerage firm, bank nominee or other similar “street name” holder, you should follow the instructions on the GOLD Revocation Card to revoke a request with respect to your shares. Alternatively, you can contact the person responsible for your account and direct him or her to revoke a request by executing the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card on your behalf. You are urged to confirm in writing your instructions to the person responsible for your account and provide a copy of those instructions to the Company, to Lisa Carlton-Wilson, Investor Relations at lwilson@insitecony.com or 917-543-9932, so that the Company will be aware of your instructions and can attempt to ensure each instruction is followed.

 

11

 

 

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVOKE ANY WHITE WRITTEN REQUEST CARD YOU MAY HAVE PREVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE CAMAC GROUP. TO DO SO, YOU NEED ONLY SIGN, DATE AND RETURN A GOLD REVOCATION CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

 

You should carefully review this Pasithea Solicitation Statement. YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE IS IMPORTANT. You may reject the Camac Solicitation by promptly signing, dating and returning the enclosed GOLD Revocation Card in the pre-paid envelope provided. Please be aware that if you sign a White Written Request Card but do not check any of the boxes on such White Written Request Card, you will be deemed to have requested a special meeting in accordance with the Camac Solicitation, unless your White Written Request Card is subsequently revoked by a valid revocation.

 

Results of Solicitation

 

We anticipate retaining an inspector of requests in connection with the Camac Solicitation. We intend to notify stockholders as to whether the requisite number of written requests have been received for calling a special meeting promptly following the inspector’s review. The inspector will review and determine the validity of any requests to call a special meeting as well as any revocations submitted to Pasithea.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

SOLICITATION OF REVOCATIONS

 

Cost and Method

 

The cost of this Pasithea Solicitation Statement will be borne by the Company. We have retained Kingsdale as proxy solicitors to assist in this solicitation. In addition to the use of mail, revocation requests may be solicited by our directors, certain officers and employees of the Company by facsimile, telephone, email and other electronic channels of communications, in person discussions and by advertisements. We will reimburse brokerage houses, banks, custodians and other nominees and fiduciaries for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding the Pasithea Solicitation Statement materials to, and obtaining instructions relating to such materials from, beneficial owners of our common stock.

 

Kingsdale will also assist our communications with our stockholders with respect to the Pasithea Solicitation Statement and such other advisory services as may be requested from time to time by us. Kingsdale has advised the Company that approximately twenty (20) of its employees will be involved in the solicitation of consent revocations on behalf of the Company. Under our agreement with Kingsdale, Kingsdale will receive an estimated fee for solicitation services of $10,000 plus reimbursement of its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses for its services. In addition, Kingsdale and certain related persons will be indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with its engagement.

Annex A

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND 5% STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth certain information about the persons who have been directors or executive officers as of July 26, 2022.

 

Name

  Position
Dr. Tiago Reis Marques   Chief Executive Officer and Director
Dr. Yassine Bendiabdallah   Chief Operating Officer, Head of U.K. Clinics and Director
Prof. Lawrence Steinman   Executive Chairman and Co-Founder
Simon Dumesnil   Director
Dr. Emer Leahy   Director

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of July 26, 2022 by:

 

  each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than named executive officers and directors);
     
  each of our named executive officers;
     
  each of our directors; and
     
  all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

 

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined in accordance with the rules issued by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the individuals and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, subject to any community property laws.

 

Percentage ownership of our Common Stock based on 26,548,688 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 26, 2022. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options, restricted units, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of July 26, 2022 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

 

To calculate a stockholder’s percentage of beneficial ownership of Common Stock, we must include in the numerator and denominator those shares of Common Stock, as well as those shares of Common Stock underlying options, warrants and convertible securities, that such stockholder is considered to beneficially own. Shares of Common Stock, and Common Stock underlying options, warrants and convertible securities, held by other stockholders, however, are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership of each of the stockholders may be different.

 

A-1

 

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Pasithea Therapeutics Corp., 1111 Lincoln Road, Suite 500, Miami Beach, FL 33139. To our knowledge, there is no arrangement, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.
