PDS Biotechnology Management and Board of Directors Recommend that All Stockholders
Vote “FOR” ratification of the prior approval of the Equity Incentive Plan
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
The purpose of this letter is to urge stockholders who have not yet voted on the proxy proposal to please vote “FOR” the ratification of the prior approval of the PDS
Biotechnology Corporation 2014 Equity Incentive Plan immediately. The Board, the Compensation Committee and management believe that the effective use of stock-based incentive compensation is vital to our ability to operate and to achieve strong
performance in the future. The 2014 Plan will allow us to continue to maintain the key policies and practices adopted by our management and Board to align employee and stockholder interests. In addition, our future success depends, in large part,
upon our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel. We believe that the 2014 Plan is essential to permit our management to continue to provide long-term, equity-based incentives to present
and future key employees, consultants and directors.
Your vote is critically important to the future of PDS Biotechnology. If you voted “FOR” the proposal, no further action is needed. If you voted “AGAINST" the proposal
or to “ABSTAIN,” we urge you to change your vote now to “FOR” the proposal, following the enclosed voting instructions. To ensure your vote is counted before the meeting, we strongly encourage you to vote online.
PDS Biotechnology has retained a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies and provide related advice and informational support. If you would like to
discuss the proposal or have any questions regarding how to vote, you may contact Morrow Sodali LLC by phone at (203) 658-9400 or by email at PDSB@investor.morrowsodali.com. Included with this letter are voting instructions containing your
control number. We strongly encourage you to vote “FOR” Proposal 1 by casting your vote online at www.ProxyVote.com prior to Wednesday January 19, 2022 so that it may be counted before the meeting.
Thank you for your support of PDS Biotechnology
Sincerely,
Dr. Frank K. Bedu-Addo, Ph.D.
President and CEO
