SUPPLEMENT #1 TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT
On or about May 8, 2020, EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) sent out proxy materials to stockholders who held the Company’s common stock as of April 24, 2020 (the “Record Date”), including a Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders with instructions for online access to our proxy statement (the “Original Proxy Statement”), for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), that is to be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2020, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, for the purposes set forth in the Original Proxy Statement.
Although the Original Proxy Statement relating to the Annual Meeting stated that David Guyer, M.D. had attended approximately 65% of the meetings of the Board and those committees on which he was a member during 2019, these statements were an error on our part.
Following the filing of the Original Proxy Statement, we re-examined our calculations regarding Dr. Guyer’s attendance and determined that we had erroneously marked Dr. Guyer absent from meetings of certain Board committees on which he was not yet a member, and as a result we miscalculated his attendance record. In fact, Dr. Guyer had attended 100% of the meetings of the Board and the Board committees on which he was a member during 2019.
In light of this correction regarding Dr. Guyer’s attendance, the Board reiterates its recommendation that stockholders vote “FOR” Dr. Guyer’s election to the Board, in addition to the other director nominees.
Except as supplemented by the information contained in this First Supplement, all information set forth in the Original Proxy Statement remains accurate in all material respects and should be considered in casting your vote by proxy or at the Annual Meeting.
