SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 23, 2020

To The Shareholders of Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:

This supplement updates the Definitive Proxy Statement, dated April 29, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”), previously furnished to Shareholders of Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 23, 2020 (the “Special Meeting”).

Explanatory Note

This supplement is being filed solely to correct a typo on the proxy card furnished to certain Shareholders which mistakenly stated in Proposal No. “1” that the number of shares of common stock the Company would be authorized to issue would increase to 1,445,000 shares rather than to 1,445,000,000 shares. The typo was on the proxy card mailed to record holders by our transfer agent, the proxy card distributed on behalf of the clients of Mediant, and on the website proxyvote.com available pursuant to an e-mail on behalf of the clients of Broadridge Financial Solutions.

Accordingly, the transfer agent and clients of Mediant will be furnishing all holders to whom they mailed the proxy materials a copy of this notice and a corrected proxy card. Shareholders who received electronic delivery by Broadridge or Mediant on behalf of their clients will receive an additional email that will include a link to Broadridge’s or Mediant’s respective website with the corrected information on those websites effective on May 12, 2020.

If you have already voted using the old proxy card, your vote will be counted on the proposal as set forth in the Proxy Statement. If you decide to vote using the corrected proxy card, your prior vote will be superseded.

The procedure for voting has not changed.

This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
